Things to have on hand.

 

Of course, if the ceremony is not at your house, then add to this list everything that is necessary for you and your family.  This should include several changes of clothes for the baby, a box of diapers, a box of wipes, and bottles if you are bottle-feeding and a breast pump if you are breast-feeding because they usually sleep while I am holding them after the ceremony, so he may not be ready to eat when you are ready to feed him.
