What to include in your Wedding Emergency Kit
Weddings are special and memorable events that should always be enjoyed, hassle-free. Of course, things might not always go as planned. This is why it’s important to make sure you are ready and prepared for whatever the day brings with it and not have to dwell on minor hick-ups.
A Wedding Emergency Kit can save you a lot of unnecessary stress! Trust us, the following tips will come in handy for sure.
WARDROBE MAID – MALFUNCTIONS CAN ALWAYS HAPPEN!
The last thing you want is a wardrobe malfunction on your wedding day. The good thing is that if you have these essentials with you, will be out and about in a jiffy:
- Double-stick fashion tape;
- Sewing kit (keep it compact, just a few needles and thread for the wedding dress of the bride and the maids will do);
- Safety pins;
- White chalk (this will cover up stains on a wedding dress in no-time);
- Stain remover pen.
NURSEMAID – AVOID THOSE BLISTERS AND HEADACHES!
On a wedding day, everyone should feel comfortable. Most probably, the ladies are wearing brand new shoes for this big event, meaning that they probably haven’t had enough time to properly break them in. Additionally, forgetting to eat and hydrate can be a big but common mistake.
Make sure to bring:
- Anti-blister balm;
- Pain reliever;
- Quick snacks (we do not want anyone to get hangry, bananas always provide the right sugar boost);
- Water (like the locals say: ‘Aruba ta cayente!’ (Aruba is hot)).
MAKE-UP MAID – WHEN YOUR MAKE-UP NEEDS SOME EXTRA LOVE!
It’s natural to want to look your best on your special day. Even if you’ve gotten your makeup professionally done, there might be instances when you want to touch up, especially on our sunny One Happy Island. Don’t forget these in your kit:
- Blotting papers;
- Compact mirror (for last-minute make-up checks);
- Same lipstick as used by the make-up artist on the bride;
- Eyelash glue
