We have all read in the wedding magazines about some of the bloopers that have gone down at a wedding, as simple as someone stepping on the back of your gown and ripping the bustle or maybe the waterproof mascara wasn't all that it was promised to be. Either way, being prepared is never a bad thing.
I don't like the term "Emergency Kit" for a wedding because it reminds me of the jumper cables and flash light that you keep in your trunk, rather than something to ease your mind on such a big day.
The list of what items are wedding day worthy may seem excessive to some, but could come in handy depending on the circumstance. I would say the following items are the basics, so we will start with those:
- Extra Copies of toasts, ceremony information, seating arrangement etc (Just in case)
- Brides Make-up Bag
- Mini Sewing Kit
- Snacks
- Super Glue
- Bandaids
- Pair of flats
- Deodorant
- Rubber Bands/Hair Ties/Bobby Pins
- Wet Wipes/Towelettes
- Stain Remover Pen or Wipes
- Dental Floss
- Tums, Excedrin etc
- Pack of Tissues
Now here are some items that are also helpful but could be brought in a separate bag or brought by a member of the wedding party if needed:
- Extra contact list of wedding party, and essential vendors
- Extra phone charger
- Sun Block & Bug Spray (good idea for an outdoor setting)
- Lighters (Keep those candles burning!)
- Bottles of water
- Ipod/Music with player
- Double Sided Tape
- Safety Pins
- Plastic Bags for belongings or even for trash bag
- Tampons
- Compact Mirror
- Small amount of cash (just in case)
- Extra Hair Products
- Nail File
The good news is that you will be surrounded by your friends and family on your big day, so they will be there to help should you need anything. So pack your day of bag and as always, Happy Planning!
