]]> Any good wedding planner knows that the secret to the success of a smooth wedding-day is to act like a good little boy scout and BE PREPARED!  Here’s the emergency essentials for any good chief bridesmaid/Best Man.

FOR THE BRIDE:
• Makeup and beauty tools
• Nail file
• Nail polish in the same colour she’s wearing
• Pain killers/headache tablets
• Perfume
• Safety pins – prob the most important of the lot!  For holding things in…or up.
• Small sewing kit – tears in the dress/veil, hems etc.  It DOES happen!
• Snack
• Stain-remover wipes
• Tissues
• Toothbrush and toothpaste
• Water and a drinking straw
• White ballet flats
• White chalk for covering up dress stains
• White gaffer’s tape (available at hardware stores) to patch tears in your dress – might be a bit on the extreme side but hey, you never know!

FOR THE GROOM

• Breath mints
• Cologne
• Compact steamer for creases in the shirt/suit (this is probably only for the extreme best, Best Men!)
• Deodorant
• Extra bowtie or tie in case the groom or a groomsman forgets
• Extra buttons
• Extra copy of the groom’s vows
• Extra cuff links
• Extra dress socks
• Extra handkerchief or pocket square
• Extra shoelaces
• Floss
• Hair styling products and tools
• Lint brush
• Pain killers/headache tablets (coz he probably had a few drinks the night before/morning to calm the nerves!)
• Razor
• Shoe polish kit
• Small sewing kit
• Snack
• Stain-remover wipes
• Toothbrush and toothpaste
Oh, and from the ACTUAL Cub Scouts – I love this Cub Scout Roundtable Survival Kit – cute sentiments true for life as well as scouting! :)
