I've promised to publish this list for a long time, and here it is! :) For all your wedding day emergencies.....the little things you might want to pick up before you say "I do"..
"Boys, Boys, Boys"
- No one wants "that guy" in their wedding. You know who I'm talking about, the guy that wears white tube socks with his formal wear. Head him off at the pass, and any other potential "that guy", buy bringing a 6 pair pack of men's black socks. They'll thank you later, I promise. (And so will your photographer!)
"It seams to be"
- Needles
-Threads to match your gown, the tuxes, the bridesmaids gowns, and your mom's gowns
- Safety pins
- Scissors
-"Hollywood Fashion Tape", or similar body tape made for formal gowns
"It's getting hot in here!"
-Baby wipes....not only do they get antiperspirant marks out of fabric, they are great for cooling down
- Aerosol antiperspirant (great for after the baby wipes)
- Small personal fans, especially if you are outdoors and have elderly guests. You can work these into your decor by purchasing those cute oriental fans in your wedding colors!
- Paper parasols, available online in a multitude of colors. Not only do they help keep your guests cool on a hot day, they also add interest to your photos.
"The Nitty Gritty"
- Tylenol
- "Girlie Personals" (stress can do weird things to us!)
- Pepto Bismol
- Any prescription medications needed by you or your bridal party
"Kids, Dogs, and other little attendants"
Whether human or canine, little attendants can be unpredictable. Be prepared by having a basket of small treats such as special toys, non-staining food items, and a "go to" person at the ready in the front row. (For the kiddies, don't let them know it's there, or they just might go to it on purpose!) Trust me on this, that knock-down drag-out tantrum thrown during your ceremony won't be quite so cute when you watch your wedding video later!
For the pets, make sure there is a water dish handy, and perhaps a familiar face to lead them off should there be something fun to bark at :)
