And Please Don't Forget...
Water and snacks. Wedding days are long, and it's surprisingly easy to realize at 3:00 PM that you haven't eaten since breakfast.
Pack bottled water and easy snacks like protein bars, crackers, fruit or nuts for you and your wedding party to be prepared for your any wedding emergency.
One Last Wedding Emergency Kit Tip
Pack your wedding emergency day kit a few days before the wedding, not the night before. Put everything in one bag and make one trusted person—your maid of honor, bridesmaid, family member or wedding coordinator—responsible for knowing where it is.
Because when you need a safety pin five minutes before walking down the aisle, you don't want to hear: “I think it's in someone's car.”
At Horseshoe Tavern, we believe the little details make a big difference. A little preparation means fewer wedding-day emergencies—and more time actually enjoying the day.
