Each brides's kit may be a bit different, depending on your own personal needs. Here Country Jewell has come up with a basic list of some things that could very well come in handy for one reason or another. Most are items that you probably have around the house already.
- Hand lotion: A dab of lotion right before heading down the aisle will help your new wedding ring to slide on smoothly.
- Moist towelettes
- Hand sanitizer
- Sun block & bug spray: A must for outdoor ceremonies.
- Feminine hygiene products: Just in case you or one of your girls needs them. Better safe than sorry!
- First aid kit
- Basic medicines: pain reliever, allergy medicine, antacid...
- Gum & mints
- Bobby pins: Make sure there is the right color for every hair color in your wedding party.
- Clear nail polish: This can stop runs in hosiery, fix chipped nails, and can even be a temporary fix for keeping buttons on that are about to fall off.
- Nail polish that matches your manicure: You may need a touch-up.
- Nail clippers & file
- Extra earring backs: In a pinch, you can also use a pencil eraser, piece of cork, aluminum foil, or even chewing gum.
- Mirror
- Facial blotting paper: This keeps the shine off your skin without removing your makeup.
- Kleenex
- Stain Removal Pen or Wipes
- Baby Powder: This can help remove some dress stains & keep them from spreading
- White chalk: It can work like baby powder or even cover up a small stain.
- White cotton towels or cloths: Use these to dab, never rub, stains or spills on a white dress.
- Cotton balls & cotton swabs: You can also dab dress stains with these, and they come in handy while getting ready.
- Tape: Double-sided, masking, or duct tape - these are a quick fix for a broken hem if there is no time left to sew it.
- Super glue: This can work for hems just like the tape, and it can hold on a loose button.
- Small sewing kit: It should contain matching thread for your dress color, the bridesmaids' dresses, and the men's suits.
- Lighter &/or matches: Necessary for lighting candles, and the flame can fix a fraying hem.
- Safety Pins: Useful for fashion emergencies and also good to have in case any boutonniere pins are missing or get too bent to work.
- Scissors
- Lint brush
- Snacks: Many brides are so excited, and busy, that they forget to eat. Have granola bars or something similar handy for an easy, fast snack.
- Bottled water: Staying hydrated throughout the day will make you feel a lot better and more energized.
- Straws: Drinking out of a straw is the best way to keep your lipstick from smearing.
- Chargers: Pack all that may be needed during the day: cell phone, camera, video camera, etc...
- Extra batteries: Keep track of anything needing batteries on the wedding day, and have extra ones of every size needed.
- Pens and paper
- Contact information: Have names & numbers for important wedding contacts and vendors. It is wise to have a couple of copies of this list.
