Wedding Forum - What you having in your emergency bag...

Wow Steph, that is a biiiiig list, lol. Maybe I should have a bum bag under my dress, lol. There is no way I could carry all that around with me! Maybe I could make my own utility garter, lol. I just intend to walk around inside my protective bubble, so no spills or food stains on my dress, and no one will be able to hug me to make my hair move or smudge my make up, lol. Bit far fetched right? ;) x

Hadn't even thought about this!, I'll need a suitcase! lol

My bridesmaid started planning what she's gonna take in her bag for me... she said she's getting me flat shoes cos my shoes WILL hurt my feet! haha. She said she's gonna need a back pack for it all. Bridesmaids dress and back pack?! Stylish!!

I have bought 2 small white wicker baskets, one for ladies one for gents loos. I will put goodies in those for all the guests in the loos.
In the ladies:

Painkillers
Tampons
Sanitery towels
Body sprays
Tissues
pot of lip balm
Mini perfumes
Mints

Gents:
Body spray/ deodorant
Mints
mini aftershaves
(i dunno what else smelly boys need lol)

I will also have an emergency bag being cared for by my friend. In it will be my roll up shoes, makeup for touch ups, hairbrush, vaseline, plasters, tissues, change of knickers (big hold it all in ones to wear through the day, change to pretty skimpy ones before heading off ;) )

I'm just going to take an empty large bag.. incase h2b doesnt turn up I will end up hunting him down and sticking the bag over his head lol oops

Wow some off these list are really long :s i am going to have make up perfume deodrant phone camara nd fags nd a tissue in the bust of my dress lol may need to think this through a wee bit more haha x

O i will defo need cocadamol nd inhaler luckly i live 2 sec across the road from my venue :) x

hadn't thought of taking a bib i'll be the only one with soup or something down my dress lol

Id never thought of having a bag with me....ill probably just give my MOH an emergency bag to carry because im bound to lose it just as i need something!
Im having the majority of my reception outside on the grass (garden party style) and so im strategically placing metal buckets of cheap flip flops for ladies to take when there feet hurt or if their heels are slipping into the grass!

oh the flip flop idea is ace!!

I was a bridesmaid for my brothers wedding, and yes I got a little drunk and decided to take my shoes off and kept dancing bare foot! Looking back at the photos Im totally embarassed - and dont really want anyone doing that at my wedding - maybe I will have some cheap flip flops just for ladies who have tired feet! hehe

good idea!

good tip - thank you x

So glad I found this post, I am about to write a list in my book that I can add too or cross things off as we decide I will probably leave it in my room or behind the reception desk of the hotel till its needed. And Im also going to put a basket in the toilets with a tag saying compliments of the bride and groom, in the ladies. Im going to have little tester size perfumes, hair spray, deodrant, make up, cotton and threads of various colours. And in a seperate basket I'll put loads of them ice pack things (ask hotel to keep some in fridge so it can be changed in the night) with blister things for people who still want to dance and dont want to take shoes off.

Then in the mens, I'll have aftershave, mints and to be honest they probs wont need anything else, Maybe a few blister plasters just incase!

xx

My mum is taking everything I needing her bag which is gr8.
Taking blister plasters, painkillers, medication to help settle an upset stomach jst in case, hair pins, tissues, make-up and by the time the wedding gets here probably a lot more lol xx

love this idea of an emergency bag and a toiletries basket in the ladies, i know how many functions i've been to where these things woulda been so handy so will def be using this gem of a find lol x

I'm going out today to get all the bits for the toilet baskets :) and my sis (CBM) is taking care of what i'll need. We've got lists coming out of our ears lol xxxx

i didnt even think about this!! :O i am doing the baskets in the toilets but never thought about something for me!
oooo this is a new list a can look at haha! it will be in the room more than likely but hey i will only be downstairs and i loose everything so a suitcase i mean bag would be perfect for it all to go in :)

hey also, dry shampoo.

x

don't forget the kitchen sink lady's incase ya have the urge to slap someone lol

i didnt really need anything, everything went to plan, and nobody seemed to ask for anything :) x

The only thing I cant live without is vaseline for my lips, and as I cant be bothered with a bag, I'm going to tuck it into my garter! Some great ideas here though! They are things you would need/want in your overnight bag if your not having an "emergency bag".

Bump x

ooooooh the tape is a good idea....... I always feel like i should have boob tape on when i wear certain types of dresses...... and if not me somone will probably want some :)
Glad this got bumped ..... Like this thread :) xx

Emergency bag?

I hadn't even thought about this lol!

think i'll have to buy a bag now after reading all the posts here.

When i was MOH for my sisters wedding in April just past i had in my bag,

Mobile phone
Perfume spray
Rennies - quite a few were getting heart burn
Paracetamol
Lip gloss
Lipstick
Travel sewing kit - this was actually needed for my nephews/Usher's trousers
Money in a money bag - saves room lol
My straps for my dress incase i changed my mind on strapless :)

My sister had some things in her bag too. I just put in things i thought might be needed (everything in my bag got used at some point) I got asked if i had the kitchen sink too lol especially after i pulled out the sewing kit :D x

Heart burn stuff will come in handy also ;)
