45 Essential Items for Your Wedding Day Emergency Kit
The key to a stress-free wedding day is being prepared. That means, having a well-stocked wedding day emergency kit ready to go!
Taking a little time now to put together your wedding day kit means your wedding day will be stress-free. Think of your kit as your secret weapon to tackle last-minute challenges or unexpected hiccups; weddings are long days, and everything from a ripped thread to a headache, stain, or broken decor items can (and often, will) happen. Even if your wedding planner brings their own fully stocked emergency kit (a professional wedding planner always should!), it’s always a good idea to have personal essentials on hand. Being overprepared means you’ll spend less time worrying and more time enjoying the day!
So, if you’ve been asking yourself, “What do I need to bring with me on my wedding day?” here’s your answer! This is the ultimate list of must-have wedding day items.

A set of nail clippers and nail files.
Clear nail polish and nail glue (pro tip: use a small dot to hold your necklace in place!).
Stain removers like Tide and Oxi Clean pens.
Lint rollers and anti-static spray.
A portable steamer — this one is our favorite (pro tip: always use/bring distilled water versus tap water!).
Personal mini fans to stay cool.

Snacks and hydration essentials like trail mix, protein bars, fruit, and LiquidIV.
We know this list may seem like a lot — it’s because you can never be too prepared!
Even if your venue is a quick drive from the store, having everything within reach is far more convenient and means no one in your wedding party or family has to leave the wedding day fun to make a last-minute Target run. Plus, any items you don’t use on wedding day will be a great addition to your travel bag, guest bathroom, or a mini-emergency kit to keep in your car.
To stay organized, pack similar items together in small clear zipper pouches, and keep everything in a cute canvas bag, plastic tub, or a large tote bag. This makes it super easy to find what you’re looking for in a hurry.
Putting together a wedding day emergency kit is one of the smartest things you can do to keep your big day stress-free. By packing all the essentials for beauty touch-ups, wardrobe fixes, and more, you’ll be ready for whatever little surprises come your way.
