Wedding Day Emergency Kit for Grooms and Groomsmen

You never know what’s going to happen on your wedding day, so think back to your Cub Scouts days and be prepared for anything. Pack a bag to bring with you everywhere on your big day just in case the worst happens. Here’s everything you might need:

Attire

• Sewing kit
• Safety pins
• Lint roller
• Stain stick
• Boutonniere pins
• Shoeshine kit
• Handkerchief/Pocket square
• Extra socks
• Extra cufflinks
• Extra shirt buttons (white)

Health and Grooming

• Pain reliever
• Antacid
• Bandaids
• Tissue
• Hand sanitizer
• Eyedrops
• Extra contacts/solution
• Glasses cleaner
• Toothbrush
• Toothpaste
• Floss
• Mints
• Comb or brush
• Hair gel
• Shaving kit
• Tweezers
• Nail clipper
• Nail file
• Deodorant
• Cologne
• Lotion
• Lip balm

Miscellaneous 

• Bottled water 
• Energy drink
• Protein bar
• Alcohol
• Cigar and lighter
• Phone charger
• Copy of vows
• Deck of cards
• Umbrella

Put someone you trust in charge of the emergency kit—putting it together and getting it to your getting ready space and then your ceremony and reception venues.

Don’t forget to pass off the rings to the Best Man before the start of the ceremony.

Don’t drink heavily the night before or the day of the ceremony. You won’t look or feel your best. A few drinks the night before and a drink or two before the ceremony to calm your nerves is plenty. After the ceremony and after you greet all your guests, all bets are off and you can drink all you want.
