Whats usually in an Emergency kit?

I would love to get my wedding party a Tee-Shirt with there title on it and a tote bag. In the tote bag I would love to include a decent zip up pouch with things in it in case of an emergency. I have heard of brides having one and sometimes their party. So what should I include in the bags? Bride one and the BM one?

I think the bride and bm ones can be pretty much the same. Mine had: Safety pins Bobby pins Nail file Clear nail polish Small sewing kit Band aids Blister block band aids Double sided fashion tape Straws Earring backs Chapstick Tylenol Alergy medicine Tums Tissues Eye drops Tampon Hairspray Mirror Wet wipes Stain removing pen All of these things I got from the 99 cent only store. I bought a box of bandaids and divided them up, they sell tylenol in a box that has four individual packs of two in it, the bobby and safety pins come in packs of 50, etc. I spent about $45 and made six kits total, I had made them for our wedding and for someone elses. I found little black purses for a dollar as well, and that's what I used, a makeup bag would work really well too.

I'm going to make sure I have deodorant, toothpaste/toothbrush, tampons (just in case), bobby pins, hairspray, kleenex, needle & thread, scissors, safety & straight pins, aspirin, mints, extra pairs of black men's socks cause I just know one of them will try to wear white ones, bottled water, snacks, q-tips, lotion, perfume, lip gloss, baby wipes, oil reducing pads for my face, and clear nail polish. If you're wearing panty hose I'd suggest bringing more than one pair with you

So you don't mess up your lipstick too much I think.

Yep! You will be all made up with perfect lipstick and want a drink of water. Somemone will probably hand you a bottle of water, and ta-da! You have a straw there so your lipstick doesn't get all smeared.

The most important thing: Model-in-a-Bottle makeup setting spray!!! It will make yours and your bridesmaids' makeup stay put all day without touch-ups (well, except lipstick of course - you'll have to re-apply it once in a while). Here is thte link: http://forprincessbride.com/store/product2.html Good luck and enjoy your wedding!

Hey I don't think I can wear that. I have really sensitive skin. Right now I am having really bad issues with my hands and have to wear gloves to even use Windex. That's a great Idea though. Does it even work on airbrush make-up?
