going shopping for misc. wedding things - what to get??

[Denisa]

My mom and I are going shopping on Friday and are going to buy some different things for the wedding so we can get it DONE and out of the way. Only problem is I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out what all we should get...we are going to buy little things like the guestbook, my garter, my shoes, probably the cake topper.. But I can't really think of other things to get! If you took a day, or even just bought things here and there, what all did you get? I'm just trying to get some different ideas because I don't want to forget anything...

I found a shopping checklist either on TheKnot or on WeddingChannel.com... let me see if I can find it again..

For some reason, since I am married now my checklist on TheKnot doesn't shop up the same. :-(

Do you have an account on TheKnot? It was under the checklist section once you login.

Once you login to your account it was under checklists.

I'm not seeing it..hm.. It's not the monthly planning checklist you're talking about is it?

Hmmm how about:

Emergency kit ie bandaids, panadol etc.
Lingerie and stuff like stockings
Bridal party gifts
Bridal accessories eg jewellery, horse shoes thingys if your having them
Dilly bag
Compact mirror and powder for freshening up
Gift for groom
unit candles or sand ceremony stuff
