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
Mints
Tampons and pads
Headache medicine (bring two different kinds in case one of the bridal party is allergic)
Band–Aids

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.
