30 Second Planner: The Emergency Kit

Kathy — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 15:37:12 +0000

There are many things that can go wrong on the wedding day, so please be prepared. Many of the accidents that occur can be easily and quickly remedied by small things that can fit inside a clutch or a small handbag.
Yes, ladies, I’m talking about the emergency kit.

While it doesn’t need to be elaborate, including some of these essentials will ensure that if you do have a situation you’ll be covered:

Dr. Scholl’s Blister Treatment
Bobby pins
Safety pins (various sizes)
Shout wipes
Crazy glue/super glue
tissues
Rice paper (to blot shine)
Tissues
Tylenol
Hair spray
Clear nail polish
Travel sewing kit
Mints
Straws

There are more things you can add but these are the things I have in my kit that I am constantly replenishing because they are the most used at weddings. Most of these can be bought at stores in travel sizes. If you want to buy prepackaged emergency kits, try companies like With You in Mind or My Mojuba.
