Whether you are planning a Wedding or a Bar/Bat Mitzvah, you want your special day to be flawless.  While I don't wish you anything but perfection at your event, it is always better to be safe than sorry.  Even the most girly-girl need to think like a boy scout and "BE PREPARED".  That is why if you are not using a party planner who comes prepared with their own "Emergency Kit", I recommend putting together your own kit to keep at your event venue.  A little pre-emptive planning which anticipates all possible "minor" disasters will be well worth it .  A well stocked "Emergency Kit" should include:

• Pain Reliver such as Motrin or Tylenol
• Band-Aids for everything from blisters to blood
• A bottle of water
• Clear nail polish for stocking runs
• Dental floss and/or toothpicks
• Eye drops and/or saline solution
• Extra panty hose/Spanx
• Bobby pins, barettes or ponytail holders
• Hand towelettes
• Hem tape
• Mini sewing kit
• Safety pins
• Scotch tape
• Small scissors
• Smelling salts (my brother fainted at my wedding, we could have used these)
• Shout Wipes or Tide Stick
• Static Cling spray
• Straws (stay hydrated during photos without messing up any lipstick)
• Tissues
• Tweezers
• Mints and/or Breath Spray
• Comb and/or brush
• Cash
• Hairspray
• Nail File
• Krazy Glue
• Perfume
• Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Blotting Sheets - one of my all-time favorite products
• Tampons/Pads
• Hollywood Fashion Tape (for straps & hems)
• Antacid
• Foot Petals (another one of my favorite inventions)
• Insect repellent for outdoor events or outdoor photo sessions
• Chalk (to cover any last minute smudges on a wedding dress)

After your event, you can refill any items that you used and pass it on to a friend who is planning a special event of her own.
