A girlfriend of mine is getting married this weekend and I couldn’t be more excited to witness this amazing event and co-coordinate her big day with her sister and BIL. (I’ve gotten her permission to post pics of the event afterwards, so stay tuned for those - her venue is absolutely GORGEOUS!)
Rehearsals were this past weekend and additions were added since then. To ensure that everyone is on the same page with the newest additions and to reiterate the rehearsal, I’ve created the following visual (using Powerpoint) for her and her wedding party - it beats reading a sheet of names lined in a column and made it a bit more fun.

1.) Here we are at the start of the ceremony. This visual helps not only me, who will be directing the procession, but the whole wedding party to know exactly where to line up and exactly at which position.
2.) Next we move on to Bride’s Entrance. It shows how the wedding party should be positioned after they’ve all descended down the stairs, the parents have been seated, and the groom is waiting for his bride to make her entrance with her father.
3.) And last is the position the whole wedding party will be in when the couple begins to exchange their vows during the ceremony.
You’ll bet that I will have a similar visual (among many other visuals) for my wedding party prior to our rehearsal. I find this extremely helpful to have beforehand to share with our wedding party, as to prepare them of our plans for the ceremony and to maximize the amount of time we have to rehearse.
How and/or what extra steps did you take to prepare for a smooth rehearsal?

That’s awesome Miss Cherry Blossom! I totally need one of those since we’re only having a 10 minute rehearsal before the ceremony.
Thanks for the inspiration!
That is awesome. I was once a bridesmaid and the rehearsal was very short/informal. As a result, on the wedding day, none of the wedding party knew what to do or where to stand! Luckily the priest signaled us. A chart would’ve helped. : )
This is super cute. I’m def going to mock up something like this! Thanks for posting!
Haha - We didn’t have a rehersal! I’ve been in a kazillion weddings, and ours was so simple 
Since the best man and groom just stand there. The only ones that needed instruction were me and my mom (MOH) right A simple you do this I do that.
In hind-sight we should have at least walked though it with the groom the night before. He was so nervous and felt really lost. Oppps. I felt bad about that. He did a great job being the groom though!! :)
Those are awesome.
Where did you get the graphics for the little faces?
Liz - Those images were courtesy of Personal Creations =) that I borrowed.
This is great. A recent complaint I head from a bride was that she and the guests could hear the bridal party trying to remember (loudly)how they were supposed to line up.
I love that idea! I just followed your link to Personal Creations, but I can’t find all of those heads that you used! Is there a page on the website that lists all of those heads? So cute!!!
Holy crap I was gonna do the same thing! Except using South Park characters you can create online or Mii’s…..but I won’t be doing mine until next year, when the wedding is closer. 
Hi Tara - here is the link to the images when I did a google search for wedding icons - http://www.personalcreations.com/estore_assets/images/icons/B144_icon.gif
Have fun!
Wow, this is great! You’re so organized
I would like to see the south park charictors that would be awesome. That is actually way better than the one me and my wife had we where all over the place.
This would be a great help to me…can you tell me how you did this?
Thanks
