What can I put in a wedding planning stress relief kit?

Build a kit that works for you, not a generic one. Start with a sturdy box or bag you can grab quickly. Fill it with things that engage your senses and slow you down. A herbal tea bag, a small lavender sachet or a hand cream can help. Add a notebook and pen for venting or jotting down one small task. Include earplugs or headphones for quiet moments. A stress ball or a smooth stone gives your hands something to do. Put in a photo of a happy memory or a note from your partner. Add a printed list of three things that make you laugh, like a comedy clip or a silly pet video. Keep a spare phone charger in there too, because low battery adds pressure. You might also add a mini bottle of water and a snack that won't melt. The kit works best when you use it before you feel overwhelmed, not after. Set a rule: when you open it, you take five slow breaths first. Refill it as things run out. Keep it by your desk, in your car or in your work bag. The point is to make self-care easy and automatic during the busiest weeks.
