Default Packing List (Combined from Forum posts)

Today I think I went through every packing list thread on this forum to put together my list for packing our boatload of stuff we are hauling down to Mexico. I compiled all of the info I got from the posts into one master list, so hopefully this will save some time for other masterpackers out there.
Keep in mind, some of this is more specific to our actual items, but otherwise there are some goodies I totally wouldn't have thought of!

PACKING LIST:

CARRY ON
(BOTH BRIDE & GROOM WILL HAVE A CARRY ON TO DIVVY THIS UP)

Passports and driver's licenses
Plane tickets
Copies of all contracts
Vendor contact info
Lists of guests and travel info, arrival times, hotels where they will be
Copies of wedding insurance policy
Credit cards, only ones we will use
Hotel reservation confirmations
Photocopies of medical and or trip insurance coverage
Phone number of doctor, house sitters, credit card companies
Envelope of $1 bills for tipping (we are bringing about $75 worth)
Wedding day jewelry, including wedding rings
Wedding vows
Wedding dress
Veil
Groom's suit
Cell phone & charger
Camera & extra batteries/memory stick
Extra wedding invite
Copies of WC emails
Sunglasses
Ipod & charger for ceremony (with burnt cd’s of music for backup)

CHECKED BAG 1
All Bride’s clothes
Silk bouquet & boutonnières
Wedding day undergarments
Bras
Shoes
Purse
Bathing suits
Sleepwear
Groom’s gift (wrapped)
Some glass ceremony items

CHECKED BAG 2
All Grooms clothes

Ring holder shells

Lotions
Band-Aids
Nail file/clippers
Visine
After-sun care
Insect repellant
Toothpaste and toothbrushes
Deodorant
Bobby pins
Safety pins
Makeup remover
Cotton swabs/Makeup brushes
Hair brush and accessories
Hairdryer
Curling iron/straightener
Shampoo/conditioner/styling products
Slippers for the room
Sewing kit
Travel mirror- to see your hair on the wedding day
Glade plug in-for room
Watch: for telling time at the pool (no clocks anywhere)
Ziplocks

CHECKED BAG 4---DONE
Welcome bags and contents
Menus
Guest book & pens
Thank you notes to vendors and envelopes for tips
Place cards
Cake Topper

CHECKED BAG 5
Table décor (candles, flowers, table runner, etc.)
Ceremony accessories (sand ceremony)
Fix it kit: Sharpies, tape, scissors (X2), glue, extras of all materials used to make favors, double sided tape, cardstock, ribbon, tacks for flowers
Extra thank you cards
Wedding planning folder with guest list and wedding details

TO DO:
*Make a photocopy of passport and driver license to carry, and scan/email another copy to yourself. That way, if you lose these documentations, you'll have some form of proof and will be easier to get the replacement
*Make list of all important phone number for TA, WC, flight number, etc.
*Make list of all guest room numbers, phone numbers, etc.
*Call your credit card companies and inform them you will be in Mexico so they do not freeze your account due to suspicious activity.
*Inform your bank you will be in Mexico, if you plan on using your ATM card. You can ask them to temporarily raise the max on how much you can withdraw per day.
*Pre write Thank you notes to vendors and envelopes for tips

I've attached this in a word doc as well
