Wedding Day Emergency Kit

Murphy’s Law states “if anything can go wrong, it will.”  No matter how much planning you do, unexpected “little things” can happen that could cause delays and some anxiety before, during or after your wedding day. Don’t get caught unprepared when these emergencies come.  If you want to save money, you can make your own “Wedding Day Emergency Kit” (see instructions below).  However, if you prefer saving time and want to avoid the hassle of collecting what you need for the kit, purchase a pre-made wedding emergency kit.  We looked at several vendors that offer this product and our choice is the Essentials “In the Bag” kit from With You in Mind, Inc.  

This “bridal survival” kit is perfect for a small wedding party of 1-4 women. The bag itself is made of quality materials that you can reuse when all the products inside are consummed. The kits contains over seventy brand-named items for fashion, cosmetic or minor medicinal emergencies.

For the Do-it-yourself bride, here is a list of products that you may collect and pack into an organza or silk bag big enough to hold all of the products.  You can also use a good sized make-up train case to carry all your wedding day emergency products.

• Cosmetics: For make-up touch ups, pack oil-absorbing blotting papers, lip gloss, baby powder cotton swabs and a compact mirror. For your hair, carry a comb, hair brush, bobby pins in your hair color, and hair spray to put those unruly curls in place. A clear nail polish to stop a run in pantyhose
• Hygiene: Keep these supplies handy: dental floss, hand lotion, minipads, deodorant, tampons, maxi pads, tooth brush, toothpaste and breath mints.
• Medications:Don’t forget your prescription drugs, Tylenol, Advil or other pain relievers for headaches, band-aids, chewable antacids, allergy pills, diarrhea or constipation medication.
• Sundries: Miscellaneous items that you might need: hem tape, safety pins, stain remover pads, Kleenex pack, lint roller, sewing kit with thread, needle and scissor, snaps, super glue, static guard and mini snacks.

With your bridal survival kit packed, you are ready for those wedding day emergencies.
