After Party

Two wireless mics and a Bluetooth speaker in one unit, so the after-party suite or the rehearsal dinner has karaoke without borrowing anything from the DJ. Charge it the night before and give the mics to the two people who will not need convincing.

A hot day, champagne from noon and no lunch is how people faint during toasts, and a packet stirred into a water bottle is the fastest fix planners carry. Buy two boxes: one for the emergency kit and getting-ready room, one to split across welcome bags and the after-party.

The brand pharmacists recommend for rehydration, in single packets that each mix into a glass or small bottle of water. Four flavors in one box means nobody is stuck with one they hate, and it is the cheapest way to hand them out freely in welcome bags and the getting-ready room.

Pedialyte's stronger formula, with a third more electrolytes than the original and each packet made for a full 16 oz bottle. Six packets is a sensible stash for the two of you and the wedding party: the morning of, after a long night of dancing, and the flight home.

You will be too tired for anything but sleep, and brides describe pulling 60 pins out at 1 a.m. and sleeping in a full face. Pack an overnight kit a week early: this no-rinse micellar water, a claw clip, a dish for the pins and comfortable pajamas, and have someone deliver it to the room.

An empty pouch you fill yourself: an electrolyte packet, two pain-reliever tablets, mints and an eye mask. One per hotel room in the welcome bag, and a basket of them by the door at the bachelorette or the after party.

Enough volume to cover a cocktail terrace or a suite with forty people, which the small Bluetooth speaker cannot, and it goes home to the backyard afterward. One is plenty for the welcome party, the after-party and the bachelor weekend; hotel quiet hours still apply, and a speaker is not a DJ.

Late-night food revives a dance floor every time, and plain kraft cups make fries, sliders or pretzels easy to carry back to the floor. Plan one per guest plus 20 percent, and ask the caterer first whether serviceware is already included.

The getting-ready suite fills a bag by noon with tags, packaging, takeout and bottles, and the bathrooms, bar and vendor tables need them too. These fit a standard kitchen can; the contractor bags are for the heavy teardown.

For barn, lake and backyard weddings the after-party is a fire, and this one burns without the smoke that follows guests around; it goes home to your patio afterward. Bring s'mores supplies for the after-party crowd rather than every guest, and check the venue's fire rules and any local burn ban first.

Lighting a fire pit in the dark with a lighter and paper is the scene nobody plans for. One starter under the wood and it catches, even when the air is damp.

Guests leave before cake or take one bite. A stack of small boxes by the exit means the cake gets eaten and you are not carrying three tiers to the hotel. Order half the guest count and confirm the caterer will box slices.

The second sunglasses look of the moment, for the wedding party and the after-party outfit. Choose one palette colour rather than the rainbow assortment, and buy one per party member plus a dozen extras, not one per guest.

A dozen plain hats in one shade on a hat wall get adopted the moment the floor opens and show up in every photo. Buy white, 12 to 24 depending on the crowd, and expect guests to wear them home.

Upload your monogram or the date and guests wear it for the night. Order one and a half tattoos per guest, allow one to two weeks, and set the station with a bowl of water, sponges and paper towels so nobody has to ask how.

Four glasses, four guests, one countdown, one photo. Keep it for the after-party or the rehearsal dinner: venues with a licensed bar usually require the bar to pour, so ask before it comes out of the car.

The Just Married car is the last photo of the night and almost nobody plans it. Washable chalk markers go on glass only, never paint; hand them to the best man with a string of cans and check with the rental company first if the car is not yours.
