Wedding Day Emergency Kit

If you're lucky, you won't have ANY wedding day emergencies...but very few brides are that lucky. The good news is that even though almost every wedding day is marred by some catastrophe, the things that go wrong are usually relatively minor. Think scuffed shoes rather than serious sunstroke.

Instead of worrying about what could happen on the day you say, "I Do," why not create a wedding day emergency kit? There are pre-made kits you can buy that contain drugstore samples and sewing kits, but it's usually cheaper to put one together yourself. If you plan on making them for all your 'maids, you can put the money you save toward cute personalized bridesmaid bags!

Here are some of the items brides-to-be usually pack in their wedding day emergency kit:

__Band-Aids
__Aspirin or other pain relievers
__Antacids
__Antihistamines
__Upset stomach medicines such as Pepto-Bismol
__Feminine hygiene products
__Stain removal
__Sewing tape or masking tape
__Sewing kit and safety pins
__Extra buttons
__Extra earring backs
__Extra pantyhose
__Mouthwash or breath mints
__Floss, toothpaste, and toothbrush
__Perfume or cologne
__Deodorant
__Bobby pins
__Straight pins
__Small scissors
__Lint brush
__Tweezers
__Make-up remover
__Cotton swabs or balls
__Tissues
__Wet wipes
__Hand lotion

But your own wedding day emergency kit should be unique because the contents will depend on your needs. Not wearing makeup? Then you won't need makeup remover. Allergic to perfume? Don't put any in, of course -- you don't want your emergency kit becoming the emergency.
