Things not to do
When one has spent months getting all spreadsheet-happy about the wedding, and one has 5 worksheets of various sizes and descriptions, and one is feeling very smug about the clever ways in which one used conditional formatting to make pretty colored columns showing how many adults are eating from which category and how many children, one should not (on the evening of Monday, some 12 hours after one gave the caterers the really-now-we're-not-kidding Final Headcount) realize that the reason the number of people getting seated is 2 people off from the number of people on the guest list is because on the guest list one didn't include the Bride and Groom. "Oops."

Ha! We *almost* did the same thing. I don’t remember who it was–our caterers, my sister-in-law, or parents, but someone reminded us of this, and we had to add ourselves to the spread sheet to account for proper head-counts.
I think it was at this point in the week before the wedding that I started going into the zone. or maybe just zoning out. Either way, it was one or the other. Or both.
