You never know what kind of problem might pop up on your wedding day. It is a good idea to create an emergency kit so you're prepared for those unexpected emergencies. You can use any kind of overnight bag, paper bag, basket, or a really big purse for your emergency kit. The completed kit can be left in the bride’s dressing/changing room for easy access at the wedding site and can be brought over to the reception site by the mother of the bride, a bridesmaid, or family member. Here is a list of Items we recommend for your emergency kit:
Health and Hygiene
- Antacid/upset stomach aid
- Pain reliever, such as aspirin. Tylenol®, or Advil®
- Antihistamine or cold remedy
- Any prescription medications you’re on
- Band-Aids® Equalactin (or similar product) to ease nervous stomach (irritable bowel)
- Breath mints or hard candy to ease a dry, scratchy throat and their scent is better than the medicinal scent of cough drops.
- Smelling salts in case someone passes out
- Feminine hygiene products
- Toothbrush, toothpaste and dental floss
- Sunscreen (if activities will be outdoors)
- Eye drops
- Wet wipes or hand sanitizer
- Facial tissues
