What do you need before your big day at your Tulsa wedding venues for your wedding? If you’re not a planner, grab one of your friends who is and have them help you pack a wedding day survival kit! This is the day that you’ve been dreaming about your whole life. While one tiny setback won’t overthrow the entire wedding, there are ways we can prevent any unwanted surprises. These items that will make up the wedding day survival kit are all fairly small and can easily be placed in a small tote or another bag to depress clutter. Some Tulsa wedding venues may already have these items, but in case they do not, you will be prepared!
Basic Items
Let’s get started with items that some of the ladies might have forgotten to bring, be it bridesmaids or the bride! Hairpins are something that you can never have enough of. With those updos, hairspray, and curls, having extra hairpins lying around might be a smart idea. Oil blotting sheets can be very useful as well. People may not think to bring them but if you have them, they will certainly get used. If your wedding is in the summer or springtime, things might get hot. Even if you have a fall or winter wedding, chances are with multiple girls getting ready in the same room and the nerves of the bride, the oil blotting sheets will be put to good use.
Sewing and Stains
The next item is something that you probably see on every ‘wedding day survival kit’ list: a sewing kit. Don’t make fun of this cliché item because it could very well save the day. There are countless opportunities for this sewing kit to be put to use with the bustling around of so many people. A tear in a dress, straps that are too big, or a suit button about to fall off are just a few examples of what could happen. Stain remover is another lifesaver that could easily fix a spill or some other misfortunate instance.
Protein and Hydrate for Strength
Please, please, please don’t forget to give yourself energy! With all of the hustle and bustle of making sure this day goes perfect, it is very easy for a bride to forget to eat or drink. We wouldn’t want this to spur a bout of queasiness or lightheadedness once you are standing at the altar! Even if you don’t feel like eating, force yourself to eat a healthy, high protein snack. Granola bars are easy to pack and can be eaten quickly. And don’t forget to drink water! Make sure the bridesmaids and mother of the bride are all sufficiently fueled and hydrated as well. The bride isn’t the only one who could faint during the ceremony!
Meds
A few other handy tidbit items include pain reliever, a lighter, bug spray, and chapstick. With so many women together in one place, someone is bound to be having cramps or even a simple headache. Popping a few pain relievers could get someone right back on track! An extra lighter can be used to light candles at the ceremony, reception, or can even fix stray hems. If you have an outdoor ceremony or outdoor reception, packing a can of bug spray could mean saving your ankles. Your guests might even thank you if you put a few extra cans in a place that they can use so those pesky mosquitos don’t bite. And lastly, chapstick can be a lifesaver during those dry and cold months. Keep applying that chapstick to make sure your lips are pretty and perfect for that famous kiss!
