What should I put into my wedding day emergency
kit?
For the Bride
Except for your wedding dress, your groom’s ring and your wedding
license, your emergency kit is the most important thing to
remember on your wedding day. It
contains everything you’ll need to take care of all those little
unforeseen emergencies. A
great wedding coordinator will put one together for you; but if you don’t have a
coordinator, you can make your own. It
should include:
Hair
brush
Hair
spray
Curling
iron
Deodorant
Lotion
Baby
powder (if anyone perspires, this will help keep them dry)
Clothes
steamer
Sanitary
items
Toothbrush
and toothpaste (you can purchase toothbrushes with toothpaste already on them
at Wal-Mart)
Band-aids
Dr.
Scholl’s “Moleskin” (protects your feet from blisters)
Scissors
Needles
and thread in black, white and colors matching the other dresses in your
wedding party
Extra
nylons
White
towel
Clear
nail polish (for runs)
Scotch
tape
White
envelopes (for vendor tips)
Extra pen
3x5 cards
for the gift table (for guests who forget their gift card)
Extra
copies of the readings for the ceremony
Breath
mints (Life Savers are great -- freshens your breath and helps prevent a dry
mouth during pictures)
For the Groom
Every groom should have his own emergency kit as well.
It should include:
Extra
pairs of black socks
White
T-shirts (in case someone forgets to wear one)
Breath
mints
Deodorant
Hair
spray
Combs
Toothbrush
and toothpaste
Another important tip:
Be sure to have everyone in your wedding party, bride included,
break in their shoes prior to the wedding day.
Scuff the bottoms on the sidewalk to avoid slipping on the carpet
during the grand entrance.
Good luck with your planning, and let me
know how I can help!
