Every Bridal Couple will find that a wedding day emergency
kit may come
in handy for a stress free day.
Do you have a friend or family member that would like to help you out
in
someway and you just don't know what to ask them to help you with?
Preparing a wedding day emergency kit would be just the thing that may
save the day! You have enough on your to-do list already, so why not get
someone to
help you out.
Ok…so get them started by finding a place to store the goods, like
an accordion folder, purse with pockets, plastic toolbox or sewing basket.
What ever you decide on, make sure it is something durable that will withstand
multiple handlers. It wouldn’t be a bad ideal to prepare two kits
– one for her and one for him!
Fill them with some or all of the following:
