The Bride’s Wedding Day Emergency Kit Essentials

As the maid of honour you’ll be tasked with many duties on the big day, one of the most important being bringing a wedding day emergency kit for the VIP guest. You’ll want to load up your bag with touch up supplies, backup items, wellness wonders, wardrobe savers and a few extra bits and bobs for good measure. If you don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars, ask the other bridesmaids to donate to the wedding emergency kit fund and scour your own medicine cabinet for supplies. Remember, there’s no such thing as over packing - now’s the time to take a page from the boy scout manual and live by the motto “be prepared”.

Here’s everything you should include in the bride’s wedding day emergency kit.

Touch ups
There’s a good chance your bride will need to touch a few things up before heading to the altar. Maybe the air conditioner broke down, leaving her in desperate need of some blotting sheets? Perhaps she’s got a bad case of garlic breath and could use some mouthwash and a mint? These are the times the kit will come in handy.
