What should you put in a wedding morning emergency kit?

Short answer

Pack a small bag with safety pins, a sewing kit, plasters, stain remover wipes, deodorant, mints, tissues, a phone charger, paracetamol, and a spare pair of tights or socks. Add a lipstick and hairspray for touch-ups.

Your wedding morning emergency kit should cover the most likely problems without becoming a suitcase. Start with a sewing kit and safety pins for loose hems or popped buttons. Add plasters for blisters from new shoes, and stain remover wipes for any spills. Include deodorant, mints, tissues and a small mirror. A phone charger and a power bank are essential, because you will be taking photos all day. Paracetamol or your usual pain relief is useful for headaches or period pain. If you are wearing tights or socks, pack a spare pair. For touch-ups, add your lipstick, blotting paper, and a small hairspray. Also include a nail file, clear nail polish for snags, and a mini sewing kit. If you are in a religious building, check with them about any rules for items like pins or sprays, as these can vary. Keep the kit with one person, not the couple, so it is always accessible.
