Wedding Day Essentials

Be Prepared for Little Problems with a Wedding Day Emergency Kit

The best type of maid of honor is like a boyscout – always prepared and always helpful. To earn your merit badge, put together a bridal emergency kit, full of those oh–so–useful things everyone seems to want on the day of the big event, but no one has – except you!
Essentials

• Sewing kit, including safety pins and small scissors
• Clear nail polish (helpful for stocking runs) 
• Nail file
• Makeup (you'll probably have this there anyway!)
• Extra stockings
• Hairspray
• Static–cling spray
• Tissues
• Handkerchiefs
• Lint brush
• Earring backs
• Iron
• Baby powder (also useful for getting out last–minute spills on a white dress)
• Eye–drops (look for redness reducing)
• Contact lens solution
• Acid relief
• Smelling salts
• Antacid

If you’re getting dressed in a place that won't have a bathroom near, you’ll also want to bring a mirror, bottle of water and moist towelettes.
Good extras: charged cell phone, camera for taking getting dressed candids, list of vendors phone numbers, wristwatch.
