Whats in My Emergency Kit?

Hi guys. I am Lorenda Howell of Lorenda Howell Events, here creating an experience to tell your story the right way, through stress-free event planning.

Today’ topic is Wedding Day Emergency Kit. As a planner, it is my job to identify possible pain points and do everything in my power to remove them. One of those pain points are “mishaps”, unexpected things or accidents. My wedding day emergency kit is the solution to that pain point. Any good planner will have one available to you with all types of resourceful goodies.

First, what is a wedding day emergency kit? Well, it is a bag that has all emergency items you may need on your wedding day like scissors, sewing kit, tissues, etc. Things that you probably didn’t even consider packing because you were busy thinking of 50 million other things.

So the big question is what is in MY wedding day emergency kit and why I chose these items? Well, when I get ready to pack an emergency kit I break my list up into 7 main categories and I think of all the things that could go wrong and what I may need to fix it.

For example, what if you are nervous and sweating relentlessly? I have Deodorant & Perfume. What happens if you have a headache or worst, someone has a hangover from the previous night? I have Advil! Another very common problem, what happens if you drop your earring back? It’s so tiny and it’ll impossible to find. I have extra earring backs! You get the point.

Let’s take a look at the pictures below to get an idea of what’s in my kit. If you are curious and want to know exactly what specific items are in my emergency kit, scroll down a little further and you will see 7 categories with very detailed lists & a DOWNLOADABLE PDF FILE (at the bottom of page).
