Wedding Emergency Kit Essentials

 

One of the greatest ideas that my mother-in-law had when planning and getting everything prepared for our wedding last summer was to have an emergency kit on site the day of our wedding. YES! It’s the best thing you could have prepared to give you peace of mind in case anything goes wrong.

Now, it’s easy to get caught up in planning your wedding and not thinking about some minor details, but you need to think about the ‘what if something goes wrong?’ scenarios. Today, on the Banter, I’m going to share with you what I keep in my emergency kit for wedding days like my own and what I carry with me to every wedding I shoot as their wedding photographer.

This is just a mini emergency kit list of essentials, but guaranteed, they will save you in any crisis! 

Hair Pins

Compact Mirror

Boob tape or Double-Sided tape

Scissors

Sewing Kit: Include white thread

Tweezers

Safety Pins

TUMS

Ibuprofen

Earring Backs

Bandaids

Tissues

Hair Tie/ band

Make Up Remover Wipes

Stain Remover like Tide To Go

Deodorant Wipe

SPRAY Deodorant- easy on and doesn’t leave white marks

Tooth brush and toothpaste

Other items to consider for your larger wedding emergency kit: 

Mints

Coverup

Lipstick of your choice if you need backup

Back up pantyhose

Back up men’s deodorant

Protein bars / Energy bar

Shower cap if you plan on showering

Shower towels

Hand Lotion

WATER: Always stay hydrated!!!

Rain Coat

Change of socks/ shoes

Extra Spanks

These are just some of the basics that you should consider when putting together an emergency kit so you’re prepared for ANYTHING on your biggest day.

If there are other things to consider bringing for your emergency kit, Id love to hear it! Hope this helps for any bride planning their wedding day and hopefully this brings light to the fact that some things might go wrong. I hate to say it, and I don’t want to jinx it, but its true. Heck, stuff might not even happen at all and you might not even need to get into your emergency  kit, but just having it there and available, will give you so much peace of mind.
