Let’s put together an amazing little wedding day survival kit to make sure you (and the rest of the bridal party) have everything you need to keep going…even if a minor mishap comes your way at the worst time!

Why Create a Wedding Day Survival Kit

Are you familiar with Murphy’s Law? Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. I’m not usually a pessimistic person, but it’s always good to be prepared! Especially on an important day, like a wedding day!

This makes a lovely gift for the beautiful bride to be. Let’s face it, things happen and rather than stress out, take action by being as prepared as possible for the more predictable things.

Put these items, and anything else you think might be handy, into a cute bag, basket or container and you’ve got a great gift for the bride-to-be. Best of all, this thoughtful gift is one that reduces stress and helps the bride feel loved and cared for!

What to Include in the Wedding Day Survival Kit

• A mini sewing Kit – You never know when you might need this!

  

• LIp gloss – Lip gloss is the fastest way to freshen up your look for photos….and even more photos…..and then more photos.
• Lip balm – Burt’s Bees is my absolute favorite lip balm! It heals chapped lips quickly, feels refreshing and it stays on forever.
• Unscented lotion – Since you don’t know what scent (if any) the bride will be wearing, be sure to get an unscented lotion. That way it won’t complete with whatever she’s wearing. This makes sure her hands and skin is super soft for her big day!

  

• Pocket size tissues – I cry at weddings! I know I’m not the only one. Having tissues handy to gently dab any makeup runs or smears before they get out of hand is essential.
• Stain remover pen – Yes! This is a must have. Ugh, no one wants to dribble something onto their dress or tie, but it happens! Having a stain remover pen handy is some real peace of mind!
• Bobby pins – If someone’s carefully coiffed hairdo starts to come undone, a few bobby pins can really save the day!
• Clothing tape – I can’t tell you how many times this stuff has saved the day. From a bra strap that just won’t stay in place to needing to keep a gap from revealing a little too much skin, this tape is perfect for keeping your clothing exactly how you want it.
• Hairspray – This one is pretty self explanatory, haha.
• Small first aid kit – Even tiny cuts like paper cuts bleed. You will be fully prepared to take care of any boo boos with this perfect travel-sized first aid kit!
• Disposable toothbrushes – A final brush before you get dressed is never a bad idea!

  

• Lint roller – Even if you didn’t invite your dog to the wedding, somehow her hair still finds it’s way to your wedding venue…it’s some kind of black magic!
• Deodorant – If there was ever a time for clinical strength deodorant/antiperspirant, it’s your wedding day. Today skip the natural deodorant and go for the extra strength variety!
• Body wipes – If you do get a little too sweaty or stinky, gently wipe your pits to kill any lurking bacteria, just waiting to steal your confidence.
• Granola bars – Just in case a meal gets forgotten or someone gets a little hungry before the buffet is open, have a quick snack ready to go.
• Tylenol, aspirin or Ibuprofen- Even good stress can cause headaches. Be prepared!
• Safety pins – These are universally known to be excellent emergency items for so many different things!
• Gum – Choose the bride’s favorite gum.
• Breath mints – These are the best breath mints around!
• Electrolytes – Today of all days, the bride might need a little extra. She is most likely not staying as hydrated as she needs to be due to the hustle and bustle of her special day. These electrolytes are great for keeping her well hydrated!

Have a Stress-Free Wedding Day

As you can see, we’ve solved so many minor emergencies with this amazing and thoughtful kit! The bride will love it and you’ll love giving it to her, knowing that you’re helping to make her wedding day as stress-free as possible!
