I was packing up this morning to go visit my Mom for Thanksgiving, so I was thinking about all of the little things that I’ll need to put an end to any traveling emergencies. That got my brain rolling about the necessities for a wedding day emergency kit. Here are my top items.
Make sure you have:
White chalk–it covers stains on your gown
A small candle–the wax will help stuck zippers
Clear nail polish–it’s great for stopping nylon runs, pulls in fabric and wayward buttons
Lotion–put some on before sliding on hosiery to prevent pulls
Baby wipes–they’re always great for removing makeup, but they also remove lint on fabric
Double-sided tape–it keeps bra straps and sliding dresses in place
Hair spray–it’s not just for hair anymore, it also removes red wine stains
Crackers–you will get hungry
Wine opener—you don’t want to be caught without one
Asprin
Breath mints
A hand mirror
Q-tips
Tissues
Tampons
Nail files
Extra hosiery
Hair pins
Safety pins
Scissors
