Bride's Emergency kit ideas

tuarceatha · July 2012

What should I have with me? What are you packing? One of my bridesmaids reminded me I should have one. And I'm sure you all have some great ideas to get you through the day without a stitch

For the day of what I want to have with me is the following:
Bobby Pins
Safety Pins
Deodorant
Perfume
Tic Tacs
Double Sided Tape
Flat sandals
clear nail polish
wisps
a piece of sand paper (this is incase you are slipping a bit on the floors, because some places have marble or hardwoods and if you have only worn your shoes on carpets you might slip a bit)
a sewing kit with white/ivory thread
baby wipes
blotting paper

I am also doing bathroom baskets that have things liek wisps, tampons, bobby pins, lotion, stain stick etc

so we will have liek double duty on things but i also wanted a kit that was "just mine" incase some things got used up or by chance the baskets were forgotten or left behind!

OMG love the walkie talkie idea. And I can't believe I forgot bobby pins. great thread. I think i might start throwing what I have on hand together and get started.

Seems like yesterday we were at the 100 day mark. It is so close now!

What Steph posted, is pretty much exactly what we put in ours. We also included a glasses repair kit, since 4 BM & GM, and all parents wear glasses.

I also suggest double sided tape (just in case anyone's dress is giving them trouble), and hem tape (can be found in the sewing section). Just in case the hem of a pant or bottom of a dress comes out.

We also put in body spray since August in the midwest can get pretty toasty and sticky. This way we can freshen up after taking pictures outside.

Awesome!
I just thought I'd want Saltines and 5 Hour Energy

Baby powder with cornstarch. My seamstress told me to get some, and rub it basically all over before I get dressed and it will keep me from sweating, supposedly.

oh i forgot my MAIN thing: That blistex foot rub thing to avoid blisters. That is like my # 1 product I always have on hand. Its like a tin deodorant stick for your foot!

A handheld garment steamer!

I have one, I've brought it to every wedding i've been in, and it's been used every time. It's awesome for getting wrinkles and creases out of dresses, veils, etc.

My BM are making mine for me

If you need it, a day's worth of medication/medical supplies!
Also...Hallmark is getting rid of their reusable gift bags, so I got a cute tote to put everything in for $1.30 on clearance!
