After coordinating 200+ weddings, I can attest that a well-equipped emergency kit is essential for a smooth wedding day. Most coordinators bring their own kit, but it’s always good to double check with yours to see if you need to provide your own. My bag of tricks is always evolving, but these are the top 10 most used items in my emergency kit. It’s always worth it to be prepared!
- Sewing kit with safety pins
- Basic First Aid kit including band aids, tweezers, antiseptic, Benadryl and OTC pain relievers.
- Bobby pins
- Stain remover pen
- Scissors
- Tape
- Crochet hook (to help make bustling your train a breeze!)
- Feminine products
- Lighter
- Mints
Honorable mentions:
- Water Bottles
- Granola bars
- Ribbon in your wedding colors
- Trash Bags
The crochet hook is an awesome idea! We may steal that idea to add into our wedding emergency kit. 🙂
Thanks, it comes in handy! Those bustle loops can be so tiny and hard to grip.
