Having a wedding emergency kit on hand can be a lifesaver in a pinch. It serves as a safety net, ready to tackle unexpected situations that may arise before or during the wedding and reception. By having essential supplies on hand, couples and wedding planners can navigate any unforeseen circumstances with ease, ensuring a memorable and stress-free wedding experience for all involved. From wardrobe malfunctions to minor aches and pains, a well-prepared emergency kit can save the day! If you are wondering what to pack in your wedding emergency kit, wonder no more and keep reading for our 15 must-haves.

Here are some essential items to include:
1. Band-aids
Wearing new shoes on the big day? Your feet will thank you for throwing in a few band-aids in different sizes to handle small cuts or blisters.
2. Stain Remover Pen or Wipes
Accidental spills or stains can happen, so having a stain remover handy can save the day. Our vote is with Shout Wipes or a Tide To Go Pen.
3. Small Sewing Kit
Include needles, thread, scissors, and extra buttons. While it might be unlikely to need this item, when a hem comes loose or a suit button falls off, it's great to have a backup plan.
4. Medication
Top medications to include are your choice of pain reliever (Advil, Tylenol, Excedrin, etc.) and stomach relief (Alka Seltzer, Tums, etc.).
5. Breath Mints
Drinking coffee all morning while getting ready after a lively rehearsal dinner? Maybe a handful of mimosas too? Ensure minty fresh breath on your big day and bring along some breath mints.
6. Hair Ties and Bobby Pins
Include extra hair ties and bobby pins to keep hairstyles intact and secure any loose strands that may fall out for you or your bridesmaids.
7. Deodorant
A travel-sized deodorant can provide a quick refresh during the day or after a night of dancing.
8. Double-Sided Tape
Ideal for securing clothing in place, temporarily fixing decorations or fixing a hemline in a pinch.
9. Snacks
In the exciting chaos that is the wedding day, you might get busy and forget to eat enough. Throw in a few snacks so you aren't going hungry and have a good base for a night of fun!
10. Feminine Products
Think essentials like pads and tampons, just in case.
11. Lint Roller
While you've been keeping your wedding dress safe and pearly white, a groomsmen may have thrown his suit in the backseat of his car en route to the venue. Nobody likes a linty boy, so throw in a lint roller to keep things tidy.
12. Tissues
Have a pack of tissues for any tears of joy or unexpected allergies.
13. Eye Drops
A good item to have in case of dry eyes after an anxious, restless night of sleep the day before your wedding.
14. Touch-up Makeup
If you are getting your makeup professional done, chances are this will take place hours before your wedding ceremony. A great makeup artist will leave a small sample of lipstick with you, but many do not. Don't be left needing a touch-up, and pack a concealer for blemish touch-ups and a lipstick or gloss.
15. Flats
Because after dancing the night away, your feet might be tired! There are so many fun options, from white sneaks to bedazzled ballet flats. There's something for everyone.
