Wedding Series Part 2: Day of Emergency Kit

If you are a bridesmaid or maid of honor you already know you are going to be spending the day of the wedding helping to make sure everything goes perfectly. Last weekend I was the maid of honor in my best friend's wedding, and she asked me to prepare an emergency kit to bring along to the wedding. I spent a week doing research and putting together the most complex day of emergency kit ever. I thought I'd share it and save someone else the work of researching it.

Sarah's Awesome Day of Emergency Kit (of Awesomeness)

• Extra hook and eyes (found at sewing stores) great for last minute fixing of bridesmaid dresses
• Brush/comb
• Dental floss/mouth wash/mints gotta keep mouths clean for all those pictures
•  Nail clipper/emery board
• Hairspray lots and lots of hairspray. Preferably of the Aquanet-eque aerosol variety for maximum holding
•  Bride's makeup for touchups
• Compact mirror
• Bobby pins lots of bobby pins. You will need them. 
• Clear nail polish good for everything from chipped nails, to runs in nylons, to gluing things together
• Sewing kit MUST HAVE THIS. No excuses
• Anti-static cling you know, so things don't get awkward
• White chalk we actually used this to cover up a stain on the bride's dress. Very usefull
• Tums/aspirin/any other medications 
• Contact solution and extra contacts if anyone wears them
• Extra deodorant
• Lotion
• Sunscreen if it's an outdoor wedding
• Tissues
• Band aids 
• Hand towelettes good in case people need to touch the bride's dress and their hands are dirty or oily
• Safety pins another thing you absolutely must have
• Spot remover
• Scissors
• Q-tips
• Extra corsage pins
• Curling iron
• Hem tape in case hems come undone or strapless dresses refuse to stay up
• Some kind of non messy snacks make sure no one forgets to eat!
• Extra bottles of water
  

And that is the list! I threw everything into a tote bag, but if I would have had more time I would have found a bag with a ton of little compartments in it and organized everything in there. Also, Target's travel section is a great place to scoop up cheap, travel sized items such as band aids, q-tips, medicine, etc.
