Every bride hopes that her wedding day will go perfectly, and for the most part everything will. However, there’s nothing like a little extra preparation to ease stress and make sure minor glitches don’t turn into major disasters.
Here’s a little check list of handy items. Put together as a kit, it makes a great gift. The list also works well for proms and other special occasions.
Needle & thread: Fixes last minute wardrobe disasters like loose buttons, sequins, etc.
Clear nail polish: Stops runs in panty hose.
Safety pins: They can be used for bra strap failures, missing buttons, etc.
Bobby pins: Anyone in the wedding party might need a few extras.
Straight pins: Just in case you are short on pins for corsages & boutonnières.
Clear deodorant: Ahem, some people just need more than others. Never hurts to have a back up-especially on a hot day and with strapless gowns.
Hair spray: Needs no explanation. There may be several hours between the hair saloon and ceremony.
Concealer: Break-outs could pop up on face, chest, or back. It also hides dark circles from lack of sleep.
Panty Hose: nail polish can’t fix em all!
Band Aids: good for cuts, scrapes and especially BLISTERS from the sophisticated shoes.
Shoe pads (anti-slip for the bottom of shoes): It’s better to have a few extras than a wedding party wipe-out on an unfamiliar floor.
Stain remover pen: Great item especially if kids are in the wedding.
Emory board/nail file: Just in case someone chips or breaks a nail.
Tweezers: get last minute eyebrows and-God forbid, chin hairs!
Contact solution: 75% chance someone will need it before the day is over.
Contact case: Just in case eye-rubbing, tears etc. causes a contact emergency. The bride & groom should have extra contacts.
Pepto-Bismol: You never know who might need it between traveling, eating out, nerves and bachelor/bachelorette parties.
Tissues: Tears, allergies, colds, etc.
Bezoyl peroxide cream: Someone in the wedding party is bound to need it. Some of the good stuff can fix a breakout within a couple of hours.
Tape: Good tape can fix a dragging hem, a pew bow, or any number of other minor crises.
Stereo of some sort & a few CDs: Just in case a musician is caught in traffic or a no-show.
Extra cameras & video camera: It’s always good to have a back up on the most important day of your life.
