-sewing kit
-kleenex
-Advil
-Wisp toothbrushes
-lipstick and lipgloss
-deodorant
-safety pins
-band aids
-Tums/antacid
-no-shine face powder
-Hollywood tape
-bobby pins
-hairspray
-mints
-water

    You have a pretty good list! Maybe super glue?

    White chalk can cover up stuff on your dress...
    I also am a HUGE fan of the band-aid friction block sticks.  Came in super handy.
    Maybe some masking tape if shoes are too slippery on carpet. Works great to give you just enough grip to not go sliding around the floor.
    ooh, and a copy of your timeline!

    Visine
    q-tips
    granola/energy bars
    maybe a steamer?
    HKielsing got to it first, but some sort of spot cleaner, in case someone's dress gets dripped on.

    You have face powder on there already, but we used rice paper/blotting paper. I was afraid the face powder I have, which is white, would wash me out too much.

    One of our GMs lost a cufflink during photos. Savvi provides an emergency kit with all of the essentials, including spare buttons and cufflinks. If we hadn't had that he would have probably ended up with a safety pin. Not the end of the world, but not quite as nice. Anyway, I'd suggest a few spare buttons or cheap cufflinks just in case. We also had a spare pocket square in there (MIL made them). 

    Also, I'm a huge fan of New Skin. It's a liquid bandage that works wonders on hot spots on your feet where you get blisters. Luckily my shoes fit well, but one of my BMs practically bathed her feet in the stuff. Alternatively, blister bandaids would work too, but I find that those always fall off. 

    ETA: A nail clipper or file and static cling spray were also helpful.

    I was going to add blotting papers, but someone beat me to it! I wouldn't use the rice paper, though - my make up artist told me those can mess with your make up, especially if you're doing airbrush.

    The Wisps are an excellent idea! Those things are awesome.
