What Is A Wedding Survival Kit?

This fun idea comes from frugal friend Sarah… and I know you’ll love it just as much as I did!

Sarah writes: “At every bridal shower I’ve thrown I put together a wedding day emergency kit.

It includes everything from Advil, deodorant, hair spray and a sewing kit, to batteries, duct tape and rope.

You basically include everything that could help in any potential disaster on the big day.

But get creative, the list can go on and on.

You can pick up a lot of it at the dollar store or if you plan far enough out, p/u a few things here or there so it doesn’t break the bank all at once.

For the shower, I lay it out on a tray and make a game of it.

Walk around the room once and then exit and have all the shower guests write down as many things off the tray they can remember.

Whoever gets the most wins a prize. Then it also doubles as your present for the bride on her big day! This idea also works well for a baby shower with baby stuff like Tylenol and wipes instead!”

    How cute! I love that it all fits inside of a mason jar, it’s not so much stuff that it will break then bank, nor will the bride be wondering what to do with all of it!
