EMERGENCY KIT

WEDDING DAY EMERGENCY KIT

- Mini sewing kit: Make sure it includes scissors, needles, thread, buttons, and safety pins. - Tweezers: From stray hairs to splinters, you never know when you’ll need one. - Baby powder: A little baby powder will help everyone stay fresh. It keeps beaded bodices from chafing. - Extra undergarments: In case the baby powder fails. - Q-tips and makeup remover: Eyeliner mistakes happen. - Blotting papers: For absorbing shine and oil. - Nail polish (one clear top coat; one in the shade you’re wearing) and a nail file: Polish chips and stocking runs don’t stand a chance. - Tissues: For tears, both happy and sad. - Mini first aid kit: Include Band-Aids, burn relief, liquid bandages, and antiseptic. - Medicine (pain reliever, allergy medicine, antacid): For headaches, allergies and indigestion. - Sunscreen: Even if the wedding is indoors, the wedding party will be outside for photos. - Deodorant: Someone probably forgot to use it. - Razor: Again, someone may have forgotten. - Granola bars or other easy-to-carry snacks: Nobody wants that

hungry feeling on such an important day. - Straws: So the ladies can stay hydrated without messing up their lipstick. - Super Glue: For fixing shoes, nails, jewelry, head pieces and more. - Stain remover pen: For spills and would-be stains. - White chalk: If something gets on the wedding dress that simply won’t come out, you can usually mask the stain with chalk. - Lighter: For sealing the edge of frayed ribbons. - White duct tape: Grab a roll of the white tape to fix just about anything. - Lint roller: Especially helpful for the groom and groomsmen’s suits. - Cash: Include some change in case a necessary purchase arises. - Dental floss/toothpicks: You might need it after snacks. - Eye drops: Don’t let red eyes or irritating contacts cause problems. - Extension cord and phone charger(s): Be prepared to make that emergency call or snap a quick photo. - Lotion: It helps tame dry skin patches and flyaway hair. - Toothbrush and toothpaste: Fresh breath is never a bad idea. - Extra earring backs: In case of a loss, you’ll still be able to wear those earrings. - Hair elastics and bobby pins: Hairspray and a comb/brush are also good ideas.
