Packing all the stuff for the bags

That's a great idea!

In our duffle we put our fragile stuff like our custom cake topper, toasting flutes and the flutes/pilsners we had made for the wedding party.

My suggestion if you can is to give one or two items to other people. We are giving each parent a box since they both are only taking one suitcase. Then 2 of my bridesmaids are taking a duffle for us. Since I have to take my wedding dress I didn't want an extra carry on. My fiancé is taking all the snacks in his carry on (chips, granola bars, candy). We offered to pay the $15 for each additional checked bag to my parents and bridesmaids but they declined, so I'll try to sneak it in there somehow, lol.

I am scared to ship too so am just praying it all fits! I have seashell bouquets so those will take up an entire carry on!
