Everyone needs a starting point, and what better than a list of phone numbers. In case anyone is AWOL she will be able to hunt them down quickly from this list (and yes the real list has full names and phone numbers). I also enclosed a rough timeline...

This is based on Mrs. Penguin's timeline. I think it goes into just enough detail for our intimate wedding and reception held in the same place. I didn't need to write travel times on mine because there aren't any. Our resort is a 1-2 minute walk from the Chapel and the patio for the reception is just another 30 seconds away.
We also enclosed copies of all our contracts, payments, and documents that are marked PAID IN FULL, as well as our seating arrangements and song request list. That way there's no confusion with anyone. I also enclosed our "very rough" setup schematic, so that she could oversee that everything was in it's place as it were.
Is there anything else I should be adding? What all are you giving your DOC or DOC fill in?

@Jacin it's really a work in progress. The more planned I am the less anxious I seem to be!
