Our Top 10 Most-Used Wedding Emergency Kit Items (and Why You Need Them!)
Even the most perfectly planned wedding can have small hiccups. That’s why every professional wedding planner carries a well-stocked emergency kit. Think of it as the ultimate “just-in-case” toolbox for your big day. Here are our top 10 most-used items and real-life moments they’ve saved.
The actual emergency kit we bring to each of our weddings. The top section comes off and is left in the bridal suite, full of helpful tools and trinkets!
1. Stitch Gun
It’s basically magic. We’ve used it to mount seating chart assignments to a screened board when the venue didn’t have enough clips. And one time, the bride didn’t pay to add a bustle, this little tool kept her train off the dance floor so she could twirl freely all night.
2. Clorox Pen
Someone always spills something…on the dress, on a shirt, or even on a tablecloth. This pen is our go-to for tiny, quick stain fixes without panic.
3. Bobby Pins
Mostly used for pinning veils, but honestly, they have a million little uses. Keep them handy, they’ll save hairdos in a pinch!
4. Safety Pins
From pinning a groomsman’s shirt to keeping a loose hem in place, safety pins are a small but mighty lifesaver.
5. Tylenol & Ibuprofen
Weddings are full days for everyone - bride, groom, bridal party, and vendors alike. Pain relief always comes in handy, trust us.
6. Fabric Tape
When things need to stay exactly where you want them, fabric tape is your invisible helper. Keeps table runners, décor, and dresses in line without fuss.
7. Zip Ties
Sometimes, a little extra structural support is exactly what you need. Perfect for flower sprays, décor, or securing something that’s a little wobbly.
8. Glue Dots
If it needs to hold in place in a weird spot, glue dots do the trick. We’ve even used them to secure a greenery spray clipped to a mirror!
9. Nail Glue
Because mom inevitably breaks a nail while helping with last-minute prep. A quick fix keeps everyone looking flawless.
10. Breath Mints
The unsung hero of the kit. Between nervous jitters, long speeches, and kissing, fresh breath is always a win.
