1. Emergency Bridal Bag
Every bride should have an emergency kit. This is the one I put together for Suzy (this week's bride) and I will be delivering it to her today. Inside is (hopefully) everything she would need should a mishap occur. A few of the items tucked in the bag are a mini sewing kit, lint brush, mints, bottle of water, washcloth, cotton swaps, mirror, tissues, Tylenol, and personal fan, This could also make an awesome shower gift. What's the worse wedding mishap you've heard of? I want to be prepared for anything that comes our way!
2. Lights, Camera, Lashes!
I've fallen in love with a new mascara by Tarte - Lights, Camera, Lashes! I'm telling you, this magical stuff definitely makes my eye lashes look longer and fuller. Tarte says it's a 4-in-1 (lengthening, curling, volumizing and conditioning) plus it's dermatologist - and clinically - proven to increase the appearance of lash volume. I believe them. If you're in the market to try a new mascara, I can't recommend this one enough!

3. Body Deodorant Towelettes
You know when you've been outside and it's like 100 degrees and you get kind of sweaty?!? Well, these little babies are the answer to stinky pits. I love having these in my purse and if you're out and about and need to freshen up a bit, just whip one of these out and wipe yourself off. Great way to stay feeling fresh on those hot, humid days.

4. Personal Air Conditioner
Speaking of hot, humid days -- I just purchased a couple of these to use this weekend during the wedding pictures. The plan is to head to a local outdoor area for pictures and the forecast is saying it's going to be 91 degrees. Just a bit toasty! I don't want the bride to get overheated in her beautiful wedding dress, so my plan is to blast her with these mini air conditioners. Eric and I have tested them at home and, sure enough, the air is pretty frigid coming out of these little gadget. For $11 I thought they would be a decent investment. I'm also thinking ahead and planning on taking them with me on my upcoming float trip. Who says you have to be hot outside?

Thanks Penny for brightening my day and I love your sense of humor and what you share! You sound a lot like me in some of the things I ponder almost daily! Happy Friday and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteAn extra pair of nylons and clear polish - those were two things I had my bridal emergency kit. Every bride needs one of those and I'm always surprised to hear some don't use one at all.
ReplyDeleteI would love one of those personal air conditioners! We are traveling to the south next month and I know it's going to be HOT down there.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I need to get that personal air conditioner AND the deodorant towelettes. Those are both perfect ideas for a hot summer!
ReplyDeleteOne of the bad things that happened at my wedding was that a couple who had RSVP'd just the 2 of them decided to bring their 2 kids and take over other people's spots at the reception. So if you're helping with that, be kind and make sure there's an overflow table just in case - which we had but they decided to take matters into their own hands. Best advice I can give!!
ReplyDeleteI love the little air conditioning units. I have been visiting relatives and they are way more comfortable in the heat than I am - I am going to order a couple of these today to get me through the next 10 days!
ReplyDeleteThat Personal Air Conditioner seems awesome! I might have to pick one up before my trip to Florida next month. I'll be there for two weeks and it's going to be a high of almost 100!
ReplyDeleteYep an emergency bag is a wedding day must have!

I definitely have one of the portable air conditioners. When I moved to SoCal from Minnesota it was a rough transition. It works pretty well just make sure you bring a water bottle with you cause it's like a swamp cooler :-)

These are great fins. I like the idea of doing a bridal bag. The personal air conditioner sounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis list is awesome. Number's 1-4 is what I need to have in mind on my wedding day. I actually like the idea on emergency kit. I'm not sure if wedding planners here in our country are preparing this kind of kit also.
ReplyDeleteThe personal air conditioner would come in handy here since it's really hot. These kit can really be handy for weddings.
ReplyDeleteI have done this before, but a few of these things weren't included. They are going on my list. I need a personal AC for myself. Love the idea.
ReplyDeleteYour comments on the towelettes definitely made me chuckle :) But seriously, that personal a/c looks like the winner of this list to me!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post and appreciate all of the great tips! I love the emergency bridal bag idea. That is such a thoughtful gift for a bride to be
ReplyDeleteI love the Tarte - Lights, Camera, Lashes mascara, too! That reminds me: I need to buy more mascara the next time I'm at the store.
ReplyDeleteI like products that have cute names. That mascara sounds like it's nice.
ReplyDeleteI've wondered how those towelettes work. I think they're interesting!
ReplyDeleteThe worse wedding mishap I've known of happened to a niece. A family cat clawed the netting overlay. It was just horrible. A friend who was an excellent seamstress came to the rescue and saved the day!
ReplyDeleteYour bridal kit sounds like such a blessing!
I found you through MO Women Bloggers.
Visiting from Missouri Women Bloggers. I have to find that mini AC!
ReplyDeleteOmg that mini ac!!! I want it so bad!!!! It's been so unusually hot here in WNY and not everyplace has AC! Would come in handy
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list. I especially love the Bride Emergency kit idea! I'll have to try that the next time I'm in a wedding.

ReplyDeleteThis is really a wonderful post.
