Wedding Emergency Kit – What Every Couple Should Have Around on Their Day
A wedding day emergency kit is a must and coming up with the perfect things to have with you on your day is important! Accidents happen, and it’s always better to be prepared (AND you can keep this in your car afterwards). You’ll be a lifesaver so many times for yourself and other people, so the money spent on it won’t go to waste.
Having a Wedding Planner makes it easier, because they’ll always have an emergency kit with them (you should see ours! It’s the envy of all them men, it’s such a nice tool kit!). But just in case, we have a great list for you on the must-have items to have in that kit for your wedding day!
Essentials
- Aspirin (or pain reliever of choice)
- Band-Aids
- Bottle of water
- Chalk (to cover up any last-minute smudges or smears on your wedding dress)
- Clear nail polish (for stocking runs)
- Corsage pins
- Dental floss/toothpicks
- Eye drops
- Extra earring backs
- Extra pantyhose
- Hair pins/ponytail holder
- Q Tips
