Someone has to make sure your cards and gifts, decor, guest book, etc. all make it back to you after the wedding!! Do you have a specific person on gift duty or clean up crew? Is someone prepping your honeymoon suite or in charge of taking your dress or bouquet to be preserved? Who's helping you...

Who's helping you wrap things up once the party's over?

    The National Park doesn’t allow any decorations or chairs (with exception of a folding chair for elderly guests) so there won’t be anything to clean up.

    I’m hiring a coordinator, probably just for day of, and this is one of the big reasons. I am a worrier and I want this to be the one day I don’t have to worry. I’ll pay someone to look after things for me. He or she will have a list of the things we are putting out and will make sure they make it out and that the venue is cleaned up.

    Two of my aunts on my dad's side are all about event planning and making sure everything that needs to be done, gets done. They've already volunteered themselves to help out in any way!

    DOC and venue staff will be cleaning everything up for us. My dad is in charge of grabbing gifts at the end of the night.

    We only planned on our parents and hosts, but everyone who was still there ended up helping clean up.

    We haven't decided any of that yet. We aren't going on our honeymoon right away so we will probably be at the reception till the end and just wrap up everything ourselves with our party and parents.

    I think our families will help us load things into cars and such!

    We haven't assigned anything to anyone officially yet - but hopefully the bridal party and anyone else that wants to help! My brother-in-law and nephew are always very helpful.

    Honestly don’t know yet, but probably my in-laws if I’m being honest.

    Our venue has a clean up fee included in the rental cost. At first I was a little annoyed about it but the site’s coordinator then told me that it included 4 employees to help throughout the evening and included clean up and break down. So I think that in the end it will be worth it not to have to deal with that.

    We didn't really have anyone in particular help us wrap things up. We took care of most things on our own. We rode the shuttle bus back to the hotel that night and took our gifts and card box with us. The woman who was the coordinator for our venue made sure the rest of our stuff was kept safe for us to pick up the next day. My MOH and I stayed in the suite the night before the wedding and that's where we all got ready the day off. No one went to the room prior to us to make sure it was straightened up. I sent my flowers out to be preserved a few days after the wedding.
