{DIY: E is for Emergency Kit}

Pink Lady Kathleen from thePinkBookBlog posted this very helpful blog to make your own emergency kit for the big day.

For extreme klutzs like me, attending a wedding with out some sort of back up plan is asking for cake on the dress and a bloody nose. And while some accidents are going to happen, and emergency kit could be that photo-saving grace. Here are 20 of the essentials I could think of, if you have any others, let us know!

1. Pain Reliever 2. Makeup – for touch-ups 3. Deodorant 4. Baby Wipes 5. Clear nail polish – stocking runs 6. Miniature sewing kits – for that broken strap or loose bustle 7. Comb/brush, bobby pins, hair bands 8. Tissues 9. Eye-drops/contact lens solution 10. To-go fabric stain removers 11. Antacids 12. Breath mints 13. Tampons and pads 14. Band Aids 15. Double Sided tape 16. Safety Pins 17. Lint Roller 18. Snacks 19. Earring Backs 20. Corsage Pins

{KIM'S FOOD FOR THOUGHT}

Use a nice large hat box or big plastic container for your Emergency Kit items.

Then after the big day, store this in an easy to access cabinet or closet of your home.

It will be very handy for other occasions or emergencies that may arise.  

Just make sure to check the expiration dates!

Seperate your items into large Ziplock plastic bags and label them according to use.

It will be much easier to find your items, the more items you have.
