It never goes without saying that being prepared is essential to success. With the hustle and bustle of wedding day planning, many brides forget to plan for wedding day emergencies that can turn their big day upside down. Having a bridal survival kit prevents small accidents from turning into big emergencies.
Being ready for the most likely of emergencies is a difficult task and it’s important to have a kit that includes items that will remedy fashion, cosmetic and minor medicinal needs that really do happen. Lisa Gehrke offers brides these key tips:
- Be prepared. People forget, accidents happen and being prepared makes solving problems big or small possible. With all the other details involved in planning a wedding, those last minute emergencies aren’t taken into account until they happen.
- Keep the bridal party close. Emergencies don’t all happen at once and sending people out to several different stores on the wedding day can cause major delays in the day’s itinerary and an insane amount of unneeded stress. A proper wedding emergency kit contains all the items needed to fix: a fallen hem, blistered feet and even a broken heel.
- Know what items are needed . Making a bridal survival bag is not as easy as it seems. Putting together an all-inclusive kit is not a one-stop shopping experience. Remember that emergencies can happen to anyone. Make sure to have enough product for everyone should the need arise. If making a kit will be one more item to heap on the “to do” list, purchase a pre-made bag.
- Remember the guys. Men have emergencies, too! Don’t let their needs become a source of stress. Providing a kit for the groom and groomsmen is very practical yet often overlooked.
- Don’t forget about the guests. Keeping in mind the needs of your guests is thoughtful and worthwhile. Providing an amenity basket in the restroom allows your guests to enjoy the celebration without concern for their own fashion, cosmetic or minor medicinal needs.
Being prepared for a big day is never a bad idea. We’ve all been taught to prepare for tests, meetings and daily life, why not a wedding day? Accidents often find their way into the days that matter most and can never be predicted. Often times, being able to find a solution makes all the difference. A premier wedding emergency kit gives the wedding party the confidence to tackle any inconvenience that may get in the way of a perfect day.
