While you'll do your best to plan even the smallest details your wedding day, unexpected events might still pop up. When a minor mishap happens, it'll do you good to remember your old Girl Scout training, where you were taught to always be prepared. Pack a wedding emergency kit with some of the things you might need. Armed with essentials, you can calmly and gracefully deal with the situation.

• Safety pins                                     
  
• A pair of scissors
  
• Needle and thread matching your wedding attire
• Extra hairpins and elastics
• Tissue or baby wipes (for small stains and smudges)
• Powder or chalk (to cover up small stains)
• Band-aids
• A sanitary napkin
• Clear nail polish (for chipped polish or stocking runs if you're wearing pantyhose)
• Lipstick or lip gloss in the shade you'll be wearing
• A compact mirror
• Pressed powder
  
• Mints or breath freshening strips
• A bottle of water
• A handkerchief (in case you get teary-eyed at the wedding ceremony)
• Oil blotting paper or oil removal film
• Makeup remover or baby oil (to remove smeared makeup)
• Cotton swabs
  

Make sure to pack everything before the big day. Ask a member of the entourage to hold your purse for you, and you can just approach her for what you need.
