I had a wedding yesterday where there were very organized people present; the maid of honor is an event planner, there was a day of coordinator (Julie Schmidt; shout out to you!) and another attendant who got married two weeks ago, so she's up on what you might need in a pinch. It got me thinking, and I wanted to share some must- haves, gleaned from doing about 60 weddings this year (so far):
shout wipes
stain remover pen
Mr Clean stain removing sponge(works great on mystic or self tanner mistakes)
tampons/pads
baby wipes and /or antibacterial wipes
hankies(tissues can leave lint on eyelashes!)
Advil/Tylenol
Tums and/or Pepto Bismol tablets
batteries(for uncharged cameras!)
foot petals
Hollywood tape
shimmer body lotion(you can even make your own by adding a sparkly powder to a fave lotion)
mints/gum
extra toothbrushes/toothpaste
deodorant
hairspray
model in a bottle sealant spray
bobby pins
blotting papers
visine and/or saline solution
scissors! (everyone forgets these)
bandaids/liquid bandaids
superglue
earring backs
emery boards
hose(do people still wear them?I guess if you're REALLY nice, buy a few spanx that go to above the knee)
BLACK SOCKS(yes, your groomsmen will forget)
clear nail polish
iron/steamer
static guard
sewing kit
tweezers
STRAWS (no one remembers these but they always wish they did; so you don't mess up lips)
lint roller
straight pins/safety pins
q tips
Aquaphor(great as a lip balm, to put on any skin irritation, dry skin patch, etc)
white chalk (to put over a wedding gown stain)
baby powder(you would be amazed how -er-dewy-you get when putting on your corset/bustier/underthings!)
protein bars
bottled water
nail polish remover wipes
Jump in if you see anything I have forgotten!

Hey Nancy! It's Vivian. I'm the bride whose wedding you were talking about in this post! The thing that came in really handy for me and my girls was actually a bottle of WHITE nail polish. All my girls who got french manicures were touching up their nicks and dings before the wedding - super helpful. Just thought I'd add on - oh, and you did a superb job on everyone's makeup for us! I really appreciate it. You're awesome! Thank you so much :)
