Sample tasks

Running out for coffee, pastries, groceries, or a last-minute lunch

Going back for the phone, charger, jacket, shoes—or anything someone forgot

Making sure the host or bride has eaten, has water, and isn’t doing everything themselves

Restocking drinks, ice, and snacks

Band-aids, bobby pins, safety pins, sunscreen, bug spray, stain remover—whatever’s needed, when it’s needed

Setting things out, refreshing spaces, clearing what’s piling up, keeping things feeling put together

Moving bags, boxes, groceries, welcome items, or supplies from place to place

Running between the house, the store, and wherever else something needs to be

Dropping something off to a guest, a neighbor, or someone who forgot it

Checking in on people—grabbing a sweater if someone’s cold, helping older guests get settled, making sure everyone’s comfortable

Snapping group photos so no one gets left out

Handling the random, the overlooked, and the oddly specific—so you don’t have to think about it
