It's a Bridal Emergency!
You're moments away from walking down the aisle and you need double-stick tape to keep a hem up and a mint to get rid of dragon breath. You can avoid disaster with a well-stocked emergency kit. This is one wedding accessory that no bride should be without. A carefully packed kit that includes simple everyday items and wedding-specific items is a lifesaver for you and your guests.
The Kit
Why and what should I pack in an emergency kit? The emergency kit is not only for the wedding party; it is really for everyone at the wedding. When you have 150 guests, you never know when someone might need some antacid or some aspirin.
The Bridal Emergency Kit Checklist
What should be in a bridal emergency kit? The kit should contain essential beauty supplies, toiletries, some office supplies, and pain relievers. It can also be made to accommodate your wedding colors and even the location. For example, if you are marrying on a ranch without a lot of night lighting, flashlights would be an important addition.
