Wedding Emergency Kit Essentials

items Every planner has one — mine is lovingly known as the Mary Poppins bag. It’s packed with the little things no one thinks about until they suddenly need them: wardrobe fixes, stain rescue, comfort items, quick refreshes, and practical event-day proble...
A mini sewing kit is one of those small items you don’t think about until a button, hem, or strap issue happens right before photos. I like keeping one in an event emergency kit for quick wedding-day and setup-day fixes.

Fashion tape is a wedding-day lifesaver for dress straps, necklines, loose fabric, and quick outfit fixes before photos or walking down the aisle. I’d keep this in every bridal, planner, or event emergency kit.
Hollywood Fashion Tape
Safety pins are one of the easiest event-day saves for loose straps, broken bustle loops, popped seams, slipping table linens, or quick outfit fixes. I always like having multiple sizes on hand.
Safety Pins For Clothes
Stain remover pens are a must for wedding mornings, cocktail hour spills, makeup smudges, and tiny accidents that can happen before photos. I like keeping a few in the emergency kit so someone can handle the issue fast without making a scene.

Lint rollers are a quiet event-day essential for suits, black attire, linens, and photo-ready outfits. They’re especially helpful before ceremony photos, formal portraits, and vendor/team touch-ups.

Double-sided tape is one of the most versatile tools in an event emergency kit. It can help secure décor details, signage, ribbons, lightweight linens, loose hems, and countless last-minute fixes when you need something to stay put quickly and discre...
Double Sided Tape
Mini scissors come in handy for tags, loose threads, ribbons, packaging, floral tape, zip ties, and quick setup fixes. I prefer keeping a small pair in the emergency kit so no one has to hunt for scissors during event prep.
Mini Scissors
Bobby pins are essential for quick hair touch-ups, securing flyaways, fixing loose curls, and helping hairstyles last through photos, ceremony, and reception. I like keeping extras in the emergency kit because someone always needs one.
Bobby Pins
Zip ties are one of the most versatile items in an event emergency kit. They’re perfect for securing cables, attaching signage, stabilizing décor, tightening loose pieces, and solving unexpected setup challenges quickly.
Zip Ties
Command hooks are great for temporary, venue-friendly fixes like lightweight signage, small décor pieces, emergency cable management, and quick setup adjustments without damaging walls or surfaces.

A handheld steamer is a wedding-day essential for dresses, veils, suits, linens, robes, and last-minute photo prep. Wrinkles show quickly in photos, so having a steamer nearby can make everything look more polished before the day officially starts.
Handheld Steamer
A must in my “Mary Poppins bag.” Wedding attire and food, makeup, grass, or an accidental spill are not always the best of friends. A stain-remover pen is one of those tiny things you’re very glad to have when you need it.
Tide To Go Pen Instant Stain Remover
For when the shoes stop being cute and start becoming a problem. Blister bandages are a small but mighty addition to my Mary Poppins bag — perfect for keeping the couple, wedding party, or anyone else on their feet and enjoying the celebration a litt...
Dr. Frederick's Better Blister Bandages, 12 ct
Tiny bottle, surprisingly useful. Clear polish can help stop a run in hosiery before it travels any farther and can sometimes tame a small snag long enough to get through the event. One of those old-school tricks that still earns its spot in the Mary...
Clear Nail Polish | Glossy Transparent Nail Lacquer - ORLY
For the very real side of event day. Long hours, warm venues, nerves, dancing, and running around can catch up with anyone. Deodorant wipes are an easy little refresh to have tucked into the Mary Poppins bag when someone needs a quick reset.
