emergency kit | Tidbits of Me

My sister-in-law is getting married this weekend, which explains my absence for the last few days. I’m a bridesmaid and my husband is also a groomsmen. All of the family has been busy prepping for it since the wedding is on the property once again.

Part of my bridesmaid duty includes creating an emergency kit for the bride for the day-of. If you haven’t heard of these nifty things already, it’s essentially a kit full of things that you might need, in the event of say a tear in a dress, an owie, hair issue, whatever! It’s pretty self-explanatory once you see the photos down below 🙂

Bodily emergencies! Sunscreen for an outdoor wedding, ibuprofen for whatever aches and pains, visine for dry.eyes. and Band-Aids of course!

Wipies for whatever reason! Tissue for tears and such. Cotton swabs for makeup, spots, etc.

Fabric tape for any sudden emergency involving clothes! I don’t think I ever told you but at my sister’s wedding, my mom’s entire zipper broke on her dress riiiight before we took pictures. Bub’s dear sister was there and literally had to sew my mom into her dress. And that’s why we have an emergency sewing kit as well.

Also, a lint roller, safety pins, stain remover, and yes, super glue.

Ladies, how many random tampons do you find in your purse? I also have at least one in every single bag or purse. Haha. I also chose purple because those are the colors for the wedding 🙂

FOOD. and breath mints. My SIL (Hub’s twin) and cousin were very good at making I was fed and hydrated on my wedding day. This is very important ladies! And yes, fresh breath 😉 Also, please make sure you’re always drinking water!!

Finally, the beauty stuff. Ha. Nail file, bobby pins, hair spray, chapstick, and a lip gloss in a color that I think most of us will be wearing. And I also have clear nail polish for tears or spots on clothes but also for nails. Duh.

And that’s what I included in my kit! I found most of this stuff in the travel section of Target and of course the beauty aisles.

Finally, I put it all in big gift bag, most of it wrapped in brown tissue paper so it would be sliding around in the bag. I then wrote a cute note in a cute card.

This was actually a very fun project for me to put together. I got a lot of ideas from Pinterest and Google of course. You can totally customize it to your bride, too 🙂 One of my SIL’s gave me one for my own wedding and I remember feeling so special and I want to make sure Melanie feels the same.
