Your Wedding Emergency Kit Checklist

On your wedding day, every moment is precious – so you shouldn’t spend your valuable time searching everywhere for plasters, headache tablets, or needle and thread. It’s a wise idea to prepare a little emergency kit – you never know when you may need it! You can entrust a member of your family, your chief bridesmaid, or your wedding planner to keep it in a safe place during the day. And you won’t have to worry about keeping it out of sight – the kit will be small enough to hide in whatever place you feel will be most convenient. In fact, you could even hide all the items in a beautiful purse.

So what should you put in your emergency kit? Here’s a handy list of everything you could possibly need – and of course you’re welcome to add more items of your own. Just remember to buy any liquids in mini-sizes (also called travel size). For some of the items, you may be able to get free samples from your local make-up stores or pharmacies – just ask if they’re available.

Here is your handy emergency kit list:

hair pins
hair elastics
hair spray
small comb
tissues
face wipes
powder
lipstick
mascara
extra earrings
antiperspirant
perfume
small mirror
spare nails and glue
clear nail polish
nail polish remover
plasters
blister pads
gauze
safety pins
mini sewing kit
headache pills
indigestion pills
smelling salts
tampons or pads
chewing gum
mini toothbrush and toothpaste
tweezers

After the wedding, you may even like to take this kit with you on your honeymoon, taking out the things you won’t need – like the extra earrings, and other toiletries.
