Packing Essentials

A practical starting list for the things you want close to hand.

Pack by who needs it and when

A single enormous bag can make a small item surprisingly hard to find. Separate getting-ready essentials, items for the ceremony and the things you’ll want at the end of the night.

  • Outfits, shoes, jewellery and the accessories that go with them
  • Rings and any ceremony items agreed with your celebrant or registrar
  • Copies of readings, speeches and useful contact details
  • A phone charger and any personal essentials you normally carry
  • Comfortable shoes, weather layers and your overnight bag
  • A plan for collecting gifts, cards and belongings afterwards

Give the bags a destination

Label what goes to the venue, what stays with you and what needs to reach your accommodation. Agree who is moving each bag before the day.
