🪡wedding day emergency kit

what I actually carry to every wedding I plan. get it in writing that someone is holding this bag, not you, you'll be busy

safety pins, a dozen, mixed sizes

Tide to Go pen

champagne on the mother of the bride's dress, saved that one

mini sewing kit

bobby pins, the good metal ones

not the cheap plastic kind, they slide right out of updos by hour two

fashion tape, double stick

static guard spray

tums and ibuprofen

superglue

for a broken heel five minutes before photos start, has happened twice

phone charger and a long cord

granola bars

nobody eats at their own wedding. the bride will be starving by 6pm, earlier than you think

clear nail polish

stops a stocking run mid-run, an old trick that still works

blister pads

travel size hairspray

lint roller

extra earring backs

a bottle opener / wine key

sounds dumb, but at three receptions the venue's opener vanished and a groomsman googled how to open wine without one. just bring your own

cash, small bills

for tips, for parking, for whatever comes up that nobody planned for
