What do you carry in your bag for wedding emergencies?

Awesome thread. I want to subscribe so I can keep on the updated list, but have a few additions that a photographer recommended to me:

12 pairs of cheap dollar store sunglasses for the wedding party between shots
Tide to go pen
White and dark garbage bags for ladies to sit on


Also, what's a leatherman?

Check them out, and one BTW..you can buy a copy, but seriously...These are worth every dollar!

Remember that you can get into trouble giving anyone medicine!! So watch it. Once you use makeup powder unless you have seperate puffs it cannot be sanitary, same with eye drops or other personal toiletries
I have a shi* bag for just this reason. Some other things to consider,
Clothes pins, hair pins, duct tape, gaffers tape, Nylons (new) black, white and red bow ties for tuxes, tux buttons, hemming tape, zip lock baggies all sizes, saran wrap (saved table top in the rain) spare pens, pencils, crayons, lots of batteries (had to replace the mike batts for the video weenie once he failed to prepare properly), Super glue, hair spray, clean or new combs, hair clips, Tampons and pads, UMBRELLAS!!!
Cheese and cracker packets, bottled water, tea bags, preparation H (great for reducing zits), first aid kits, 3x5 cards, rubber bands, hack saw, double stick tape, garment tape, moist toweleltes, hand cleaner, rubber or nitrile gloves, garbage bags, c clamps, hand clamps and magic arm, sand bags, god know what else...

WOW, Les...but a great addition to our list.

I think I will get busy and start to fill a bag with some of these items and add on as I go.

I am thinking some of the meds listed are for the photog, not anyone else, but put the disclamer up there to be sure.

Thank you so much

good one with the garbage bags! Check!

How bout extra shirt/pants/shoes. You never know what will happen. Probly keep them in the car.

I always take spare shoes in the car. During my first wedding the sole came off the pair I was wearing!

So you put your heart and SOLE into it? Good job te he.
On the meds issue I agree, I am Type II diabetic and many of my meds
have adverse effects on my tummy. So imodium is ever present. I too keep spare clothes in the truck.

I also view my truck as equipment. May I make suggestion that you take a short course in make-up application too. I work very close with one the best here in Northern CA and have learned boat loads re: sanitary issues etc.

As I printed my list and started to get a few things together

I thought of one more

small sewing kit...

Just recently had a little flower girl rip the hem out of her dress before the wedding, the sewing kit was great to tack her back up till after the wedding ceremony.
