No matter how much planning goes into your big day, unexpected hiccups can happen. From a misplaced boutonniere to a stubborn makeup smudge, a well-stocked wedding day emergency kit is your secret weapon to keep things running smoothly. These little items can make a big difference when it comes to last-minute saves.
Here’s what to pack to handle any wedding day surprises:
Wardrobe Fixes
- Safety pins
- Double-sided tape
- Mini sewing kit
- Stain remover pen
- Clear nail polish (great for stopping runs in tights)
Beauty Touch-Ups
- Blotting papers
- Lipstick for reapplying
- Hairpins and mini hairspray
- Deodorant
- Travel-sized perfume
Comfort Essentials
- Band-aids (especially for blisters)
- Pain relievers (like ibuprofen or Tylenol)
- Eye drops
- Granola bar or quick snack
- Mini water bottle
Tech & Miscellaneous Items
- Phone charger
- Tiny scissors
- Cash (for any last-minute needs)
- Printed vendor contact list and timeline
For Outdoor Weddings
- Heel protectors (to keep shoes from sinking)
- Ring cleaner (so your band shines in photos)
- Polaroid camera (for capturing fun, candid moments)
You don’t need to haul around a giant suitcase for these items — a small tote or cosmetic bag will do. Hand it off to someone you trust (like your Maid of Honor) so you can focus on what really matters: enjoying every moment of your wedding day.
A little preparation can go a long way in ensuring that small hiccups don’t steal the spotlight!
