Wedding emergency kit.?

Question

You see them for sale on bridal websites, but I thought it would be a cute idea to make up little kits for the bridal party. What sort of items should be included in a wedding emergency kit?
What are some essential items that a Bride, Groom, Groomsmen, or Bridesmaids need to have on hand?

What sort of things did you have at your wedding in case of mishap? Or what sort of things did you wish you had at your wedding?

Do you think a little " wedding survival kit" would make a cute gift to give prior to the wedding?

For those of you who did give these as gifts, did you make your own or buy them?

In my wedding emergency kit for the bridal party and the grooms party I included.

The ladies
A small travel size deoderant, A sewing kit, Hair Pins, bandaids, tooth brushes, mints, dental floss a phone card ( who knows you never know what might happen on your wedding day). Phone numbers for all the wedding party, travel size hair spray , tissues, and a compact.

The fellas
A travel size deoderant , sewing kid , bandaids, tooth brushes, mints, phone cards, phone numbers for the wedding party , razor and travel size shaving cream, dental floss, smelling salts.

At the wedding location : I had a first aide kit, as well as bottled water asprin , tylenol ,midol. Extra panty hose and socks , nail polish remover, as well as nail files , Hair dryer, spritz, mousse, Another sewing kit , a hand held sewing machine , straight pins, & safety pins .

A wedding survival kit is a great idea to give but the honesty about it is with everything going on you are not going to think about it until the last minute. The best bet is to give it to them the day of the wedding before all the craziness starts. That way they just fit and fall into the flow of the madness and mahiem .

Answer 2

For Girls:

Clear Lip Gloss, powder, extra hose (if you're wearing them at all), a mini bottle of hair spray, a small brush, bobby pins, safety pins, mints, CHOCOLATE, and duct tape (this really saved some dress disasters at my friend's wedding).

For Guys:

Mints, a comb, and duct tape.

Answer 3

I think that's cute! I would suggest including these items for a bride/bridesmaid:
Tide pen or Shout wipes
Extra pantyhose (if worn)
Clear nail polish
Small hairspray
Mouth wash/breathmints
Small brush
Bandaids
Safety pins
Camera (for bridesmaids)
Tissues!

For groom/groomsmen:
Breath mints/mouthwash
Bandaids
Tide pens
Hair gel
small comb

Good luck!

Answer 4

I had made my own for me and the bridesmaids ending up needing to use some of the stuff. It would have been a cute idea for a gift because you can use this stuff at a later time.

I had a tide to go pen
oil blotters
saftey pins
white thread (for white shirts, and my dress)
black thread (for tuxes or black dresses)
needles
bobby pins
kleenex
double sided tape
wet ones

really anything that you might need

Answer 5

I'm actually doing this same thing, but for bridesmaids only.

Bridesmaid:
bobby pins, safety pin, mini hair spray, clear nail polish, lip gloss, breath mints, kleenex, double-stick tape, mini comb/brush, Shout wipes, mini lint roller, hard candy (something to suck on for flavor, no chocolate because that could ruin a dress if it dropped out go melted on anyone or any dress), mini deodorant and finally I will be adding in there slipper flip-flops for them to wear after the ceremony.

Groomsmen:
breath mint, mini lint roller, double stick tape, shoe polish

Answer 6

I think its a great idea....one thing that i think should be added to the groomsmen's kit..... A PAIR OF BLACK SOCKS

this seems to be a big deal actually as you can usually see the socks between the shoes and pants. Most men wear black socks in the wedding.

Answer 7

i would always have handy -
shout wipes (never the bleach pen then tend to "yellow" white)
peppermints (combats bad breath AND jitters)
nail polish
hairspray
spray deodorant
panty liners
make-up blotters/oil blotters
nail glue
needle & thread
throat moisturizers - not cough drops or candy
black sharpie (mini one for the guys)
safety pins
tissues
hand lotion (unscented)
band-aids
wet wipes
dental picks
lint roller (3M makes these travel "sheets")
windex wipes (couple in a ziploc bag for the guys shoes if they are getting the ones with the tux - works great!)

the rest would depend on time of year, city, type of ceremony and such.

CONGRADS!!!
