2019.09.28 published
Checking for Forgotten Items on the Day Before and the Day of the Wedding is Very Important!
On the day or the day before the wedding, the most concerning thing is whether there are any "forgotten items." Essential items such as the wedding rings and the letter of gratitude to parents are crucial but can easily be forgotten.
If there are items that can be brought to the venue in advance, it's best to take them along with other items, but there are also many items that cannot. Moreover, even if you forcefully bring items beforehand, there is the downside that you may not be able to retrieve those items immediately at the venue.*
However, for brides who are anxious about whether they will forget anything on the day before or the day of the wedding, we have prepared a 【checklist】 that you should confirm. Even if your wedding is still some way off, save it for later◎
