Wedding Emergency Kit
I was lucky enough to be Jen's Maid of Honor at her wedding a few years ago. Wanting to be the best sister ever, I tried to make the biggest baddest wedding emergency kit anyone had ever seen. As my friends have gotten married over the years, the emergency kit has been downsized and upgraded and tweaked, but always manages to save the day. This is the version I brought to Hillary's wedding.

The wedding took place during a major rain and wind storm (50 mph gusts) at an outdoor venue that lost power. Items used the most: tissues, Kleenex moist wipes, mints, first aid kit, Tide-to-go pen, deodorant, bobby pins, and hair spray.
Next time, I'll improve my kit with drinking straws (to prevent ruining make-up), more hair spray, a variety of bobby pin colors, a crochet cook to make bustling the dress easier, and a larger flashlight.
