Wedding Day Emergency Kit Contents

Hello All! I'm restocking my wedding day emergency kit (i.e. Band Aids, Safety Pins, Bobby Pins, Shout Wipes, etc.) and I'm sure there are some items that I'm forgetting or have never even thought of packing. What do you all keep on hand in case of wedding day SNAFU?

Call me crazy, I didn't even think an emergency kit was necessary!

I keep a small bag with me at all times while I am working with the immediate emergency kit items, however I also carry a larger fashionable makeup case for the larger items and extra regular kit items.

Great lists. I always include linen facial blotter sheets, Gaffers tape ( it doesn't leave a mess) & static guard.

Most photographers I know do not have kits like I do... but I am always prepared because I have 3 kids... and know that anything can happen.

Everything you have listed above... plus -

Super glue
nail files
batteries
pain medicine like Tylenol or Motrin,
Non Drowsy Allergy Pills
Clear nail polish, white nail polish & nail polish remover
a travel sewing kit
Q-tips
wisps (disposable / waterless tooth brushes)
dental flossers
pads, liners & tampons
baby wipes
lotion
antibacterial hand sanitizer
meal bar or energy bar
hairspray
tissues
comb for teasing
regular comb
wide tipped black permanent marker (great for scuffed shoes)
blot powder (for the face... incase of oiliness)

* I have a few odds and ends in my bag... but these are the things I can almost guarantee I will use...

I would add green floral tape. I can't tell you how many times I've had to retape a boutonniere or split one into two because someone was forgotten by the bride when she ordered them!!
