These Shopping TIPS might help:

Receipts - Keep a printout of all online receipts in your records book. Note the date ordered and calendar your I phone for the day they should be arriving.

Invitations - use another set of eyes to proof for dates, times and spelling. We find people are inclined to put the wrong year in an invite. If you are having a Friday or Sunday wedding, then please indicate the day and date.  Friday, December 18th, 2015....people have been known to calendar the wrong day. ooopps

With wedding favors, ordering the correct number is important.  How do you know until the last minute how many guests are coming?  Very few companies can give you the last five or ten days prior to a wedding shipments.  So choose your company in the USA and pay for the fastest shipping.  Or order ahead and accept the left overs.

Ordering a wedding dress or bridesmaid dresses online is complicated - regarding the correct sizes.  Each company handles this differently.  You will likely have to order a dress too large and have it altered by a local seamstress.  Consider prior to purchase, if there is a good seamstress in your area who knows how to do wedding dress alterations. Many dress shops will NOT alter your purchase from another store. Because of color vat changes, order the bridesmaid dresses together, so the colors come from the same colored cloths.

Wedding Flowers ordered online - Please go with a reputable company....Yes, they often save money.  Yet you may have anxity over their arrival, have to store them in a cool area until you complete the bouquets.  If they come loose in boxes, someone has to arrange them and get them into vases and into the decor you outline.  Working with flowers can stain and give your hands a very bad look for wedding photos.  Decorating the cake can be a nightmare for last minute prep.  

Wedding Rings & Gift Jewelry - it helps to order these ahead with a company that guarantees refunds.  When your attendant gifts arrive, be certain to check their quality, if each item fastens correctly and count them out, to make certain your ordered the correct number.  Keep a printout of all online receipts in your records book.

Gift Baskets For Your Guests - Often brides want to provide a nice gift basket in the rooms for parents or grandparents.  If they are to be delivered to a hotel, make certain the room clerk knows ahead that you are expecting delivery.
