What to Pack in Your Wedding Emergency Kit

No matter how much planning goes into your wedding, little surprises can pop up throughout the day. That’s where a well-stocked wedding emergency kit comes to the rescue! From beauty touch-ups to quick fixes, here’s everything you’ll want to have on hand for a stress-free celebration.

Wedding Day Essentials

Makeup Must-Haves – Keep your look fresh all day with setting spray, concealer, powder, and your go-to lipstick for touch-ups.
Blotting Papers – Say goodbye to shine and keep your makeup looking flawless in photos.
Mini Sewing Kit – A popped button or tiny snag? No worries! Pack a mini sewing kit with needles and matching thread for quick fixes.
Comfy Backup Shoes – Your wedding heels might look stunning, but after hours on your feet, you’ll thank yourself for packing a comfy pair of flats or sandals.
Straws – Avoid those pesky lipstick smudges while sipping on your favorite drink.
Copies of Vows & Important Contacts – Wedding days can get hectic, and you might not always have your phone handy. Having a hard copy ensures you’re never without key details.
Small Snack – With all the excitement, you might not have time to eat! Pack a granola bar or a light snack to keep your energy up throughout the day.
First Aid Kit – Stash some bandages, pain relievers, and antiseptic wipes—just in case.
Bobby Pins & Hair Ties – Flyaways happen! A few extra bobby pins will keep your hairstyle in place all night.
Mints or Gum – Fresh breath is a must for all those hugs, kisses, and photos!
Cash – Whether it’s for tipping vendors or a last-minute need, a little extra cash is always handy.
Stain Remover Pen – Because spills happen (usually at the worst times). A quick dab can save the day!
