Tonight a friend and I printed up cute little round labels and stuck them to the votives that will serve as our favors for guests. We also placed candles inside the votives, which is one more thing I can mark off my list as COMPLETE!
Ok, now it's time for some reader interaction. I need to begin a list of things that I cannot forget to take to the wedding with me. Any suggestions? I know I've heard a lot of stuff, but I have been forgetting to write it down.
I also need ideas for what I need to remember to pack for the honeymoon (don't get dirty here, there are youngsters who read, and I don't want to have to exercise my power to delete). For example, a woman at Bible study today said to make sure to pack an umbrella. She just got back from WDW and got rained on a ton, but had forgotten an umbrella. Any other handy tidbits?

Make sure there are cameras at your wedding... aside from the ones that will be doing any professional pictures. You will either want to designate someone to go around and take a ton of pictures during the reception and all, or buy a bunch of disposable ones and put then on the tables.
Also, you might want to have some Tylenol or other headache medicine handy... just in case. Something you know will work. You don't want to walk down the isle and only be able to think about the pounding in your head. :)
On the honeymoon, pack for any kind of weather. That's just a general travel thing, though. Even when they say it's going to be hot, you never know if they'll have a freak cold spell. Since you're going to Florida, I would suggest a light jacket that will keep off the rain.
And you might want to bring a camera for that, too, if you plan on doing some sightseeing.
Make sure you have all your underwear. I'm not being dirty - it's just amazing what basics you forget! I ended up having to wear a swimsuit top as a bra whenever we went out on our honeymoon, 'cause I'd completely forgotten to pack one!
Also, at the actual wedding, having someone collect all the cards at the present table - I mean, all the cards that aren't attached to presents - and give them to you before you take off on your honeymoon. Cards like that often have cash, and it's fun to have a stack of cash on your honeymoon - makes it easier to take in a movie, go to a nice restaurant or rent a canoe.
God bless you!

Hmmm...This is the kind of stuff that thrills me!
Wedding Emergency Kit
Bottled Water
Clear Nail Polish
Needle and thread in white, clear and your bridesmaid color
Extra pair of nylons (if you or your BMs are wearing them)
Shout wipes or Tide to Go
Tums/Pepto
Advil
Kleenex
Nail File
Scissors (for sewing kit)
Straws (so you can drink without messing your lipstick)
Bobby Pins
Safety Pins
Lint Roller
Feminine Products (even if you're not in danger of starting a BM might be)
Iron
Scotch tape for the present table so the table monitor can tape on loose cards that may come off in transport
Check with your church coordinator--they might provide some of that stuff.
Honeymoon:
Lots of extra undergarments
Sunscreen
Extra Camera batteries/charger/film
Pepto/Tums
Advil
Lubricant (just in case)
Feminine Products (in case the post-wedding stress sparks a nasty visitor)
Sunglasses (because you probably won't have them with you wedding day)
A backpack or bookbag or something good for outings out to hold your camera, purse, whatever
Chapstick
Oh also, print up a list of contact information and give it to someone else. Have on it the bridesmaids, the groomsmen, the parents of the bride and groom, the pastor, the church coordinator, the photographer, the florist, parents of the flower girl/ring bearer etc, etc--anyone who has a role in the wedding. Include cell phone numbers where you have them.
Give that list to someone else and let people know that that person is the go-to person. That way, if someone is lost, or doesn't show up, other people can take care of the situation without ever bothering you.
I think most of the lists here are pretty good. The only things I'd be specific about (without going into details) for the honeymoon are Uristat and Monistat, just in case. And whatever form of BC you might be using.
Oh yeah, a watch or clock of some kind too. I know you'll be in the U.S., which makes things easier, but we basically spent our entire honeymoon wondering what time it was because there weren't a lot of public clocks and we didn't have a watch with us.
i dont know what time your wedding is at but you may want something to snack on. you probably wont be really hungry to eat a meal on your wedding day. i forgot to eat and while we were getting dressed i realized that my stomach was growling. lucky for me my MoH ran over to subway and got me a 6 inch sub.
