There are several moments during a wedding where a crisis arises. Usually its a moment you think to yourself, “DAMN! I should have brought that.” From those moments, I’ve created my “emergency kit” checklist – a bag that has all the essential things (toiletries, makeup, etc.) that can prevent hiccups or panic on the day itself.

My must have items are:

Oil Blotting Sheets
Spray Deodorant
Hair Pins
Hairspray
Waterproof Mascara
Mini Sewing Kit
Band-Aids
Advil
Breath Strips
Sunscreen

Other Items you may need to hold as well: Bride’s makeup items (lipstick, etc.), Hygiene Products, Collapsible Shoes/Shoe pads, Camera, Tissues, Sweater/etc. The mini samples isle at Walgreens or Target is your friend for this kit – otherwise the bag would be huge. You don’t need a duffle bag full, but you may want a separate bag to slip under the table rather than trying to stuff the cute clutch full of unmentionables.
