What is Your Emergency Kit Must Have?

This is a repost from a few years ago but I thought it was important to list again.

A standard practice of wedding planners is to carry an 'emergency kit' - to deal with all sorts of issues that could come up at a wedding. I know you all remember Jo Lo's special jacket in the movie The Wedding Planner.

So what is an Emergency Kit??

There are many different types but I know they are all bigger and more involved then a 'special jacket'. Mine is a small suitcase that I can throw over my shoulder. Some things that I can't live without:
tylenol
stain remover - yes I can get red wine out of the gown
breath mints
bandaids
Big saftey pins - yes all bustles come loose
bobby pins
tape-clear, masking, duct, floral
flame lighter
hair spray
tissues
pens
cd of standard wedding songs
deodorant

I also keep spare unity candles, cake knife, ring bearer pillows, black socks, hand held sewing machine, umbrellas and a bottle opener handy.

Some weddings I end up using many items from my kit and I am so thankful I had it to save the day; Better to be safe then sorry.
What is your must have item?

Emergency Kit

So after Saturday's wedding I found a few more things to add to my emergency kit.

Disposable Razors....yes a bridesmaid needed it.
and
Nice Men's black dress socks.

and as a tip for all of you brides - spray your body with spray antiperspirant/deodorant - it is better then baby power and will help keep you from sweating in your gown.

I can't believe how many times I used my kit on Saturday. Some weddings I never open it, others I might as well be J Lo and have it tucked in my jacket - oh wait who am I kidding it would NEVER all fit.

If you don't have a wedding planner with an E kit then make sure you make up a little one of your own. Tampons, big safety pins, bobbie pins, hairspray, chalk, breath mints, tissues, deodorant and stain remover.
