It’s your big day! Have you thought of everything?
If you feel your stress level rising at the mere thought of your upcoming wedding, imagine what it will be like on the big day. Of course you want your wedding day to be fabulous, and the best way to ensure that is to be prepared for every eventuality. Here are a few things to pack and have on hand for the big day:
• Makeup kit and makeup removal pads
• Pocket mirror
• Glue for false nails and eyelashes
• Pre-moistened wipes, deodorant, and lip balm
• A toothbrush, toothpaste, and breath mints (avoid chewing gum, especially during the photo session!)
• Transparent nail polish, nail file, and nail polish remover
• An extra pair of glasses or contact lenses, including the case and lens solution.
• Tampons
• Curling iron, hair straightener, or hot rollers
• Bobby pins (to control rebellious curls and to affix your veil)
• White and black thread, sewing needles, safety pins, and a pair of scissors (for clothing repairs)
• Iron and ironing board
• Extra pair of pantyhose
• Pair of ballerina shoes (for the end of the evening when your feet ache after all that dancing!)
• Tissues as well as acetaminophen or ibuprofen (for unexpected headaches)
• Super glue or something similar, masking tape, and transparent adhesive tape
• Finally, because you know just what your man is capable of, include a pair of black socks in case he had the bright idea of wearing white sports socks with his tux! Collect all these things in one spot before the wedding day. Why not use one of your grandmother’s magnificent hat boxes or that travel bag you spotted in your favourite store?
