Recruiting wedding assistance

 It's OK to ask for help. There are hundreds of tasks to complete, projects to tackle and lists to check off. Don't be afraid to ask your friends and family to pitch in.

You can ask someone to:

Check for personal belongings left behind after the ceremony and reception.
Move ceremony flowers and gifts to the reception site.
Coordinate place cards and seating chart at the reception.
Emcee reception activities.
Assist the photographer so candids of important people are captured.
Cut the cake.
Tend to the guest book.
Hand out programs, maps, favors and umbrellas.
Gather the top tier of the wedding cake and all the cake utensils and topper.
Take the groom's tux back to the rental location.
Retrieve any leftover favors, disposable cameras and programs.
Return any rental items or anything unopened.
Thank and pay hired vendors.
Conduct any necessary cleanup.
Have your wedding gown cleaned and preserved.
Develop any film from your camera.
