It’s happening! The day we’ve been planning for months has officially arrived and we couldn’t have been more excited.You’ve prepared everything from the flower arrangements to the desserts your guests will enjoy to the earrings they’ll be wearing, but are you ready for your bridal emergency kit? Yes, your emergency kit, the ultimate wedding planner Must For someone’s important day.
What is a bridal emergency kit?
To explain, this is basically a lifesaver if you accidentally spill a drink or have an allergic reaction on your wedding day. Imagine a large tote bag filled with everything you need in an emergency. Most wedding planners already have a wedding planner, but if you’re planning your own wedding or just want to make things a little more comfortable, you can also create your own. Don’t worry if this is your first time hearing about this kit. We’ve put together the ultimate wedding emergency kit plan for you.
The first step in creating a wedding day emergency kit is understanding what can happen in an “emergency” and what needs to be fixed. This may not be a fun idea, but it’s best to be prepared in case your bridesmaid spills a little coffee on your bridesmaid’s dress or you need to undone her hairstyle with a volumizing spray.
When should I pack my bridal emergency kit?
Experts recommend preparing an emergency kit several weeks before the actual big day to avoid forgetting things and brain fog.
The week of your wedding is full of last-minute tasks, running around, packing your emergency bag in advance, and taking the time to gather all your items to avoid cramming your to-do list.
Pro tip: Bring an emergency kit to your wedding event before the big day. A bachelorette party is the perfect time to incorporate your kit. To avoid forgetting anything, print the list and use it as a guide to gather everything.
Who will handle the emergency kit on the wedding day?
On your wedding day, you’ll want to designate someone to carry and look after your emergency bag. Either your wedding planner, maid of honor, or bridesmaids can do this. Venues usually have a safe place to store items and wedding favors, so you can leave your bags there during the day. Have a designated person pick up your emergency bag the night before or a week in advance, and be sure to bring it with you on the day of your trip.
With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at the ultimate preparation tools from real wedding planners.
Items to include in your bridal emergency kit:
snack: We’ve all seen movies where brides faint, and it happens in real life too. There’s nothing worse than passing out…I am hungry on your special day. To balance your blood sugar levels, pack some granola bars, fruit, or something travel-friendly to grab in a hurry.
medicine: Allergic reactions, headaches, toothaches…anything that can happen happens. Make sure you have a reliable painkiller or allergy medication on hand in case you find out that day that you’re actually severely allergic to pollen or someone else’s perfume.
Nail polish: You’ll likely be applying shellac or gel nail polish for your big day, but keep your nails intact with a clear top coat as a backup in case they chip.
Nail file: Did your stubborn nail break right before walking down the aisle? A simple file can fix any snags in your beautiful dress or veil.

eye drops: Whether you wear contacts or not, dry eyes can be caused by pollen or seasonal allergies. Or maybe you’re just so nervous about your wedding day that you’re up late and can’t sleep. Adding this to your emergency bridal set is a must. P.S. This is also a great hack for adding beautiful glowing eyes to your photos!
Tampons and napkins: Enough said, stay safe, not sorry. Even if you keep track of your menstrual cycle, stress can cause the flow in your body to become irregular, and you don’t want to stain your beautiful dress.
