Wedding Day Essentials You Didn't Think You Needed But Are Glad You Had

Samantha, on May 28, 2019 at 12:56 PM Posted in Planning 0 6

Good morning!

I am trying to put together a list of things I'll need to bring with me the day of the wedding. I have the basics like, guest book, centerpieces, wedding favors etc. but was there something you didn't have that you wish you did or something you brought that was a life saver? For example, my florist said to make sure to bring zip ties to secure the flowers to the arbor...that's something I wouldn't have thought of!

Any and all suggestions or ideas welcome!

    One thing I will be bringing is my hot glue gun just in case something on the centerpieces decided to fall apart.

    I haven't had my big day yet, but some things I'm planning for are bobby pins, a tide to go pen, makeup wipes, a mini sewing kit, q-tips, safety pins, and scissors.

    This! I literally was just packing for our venue last night, and I saw my hot glue gun and almost didn't pack it, and then I was like actually, I feel like this may come in good use hahaha. You never know!

    I'd also add needle and thread.

    Zip ties are a great idea!

    I have been working on my list. In addition to what others have already said, I'm bringing fashion tape, hair ties, a power strip, band aids, a steamer, and chalk. I've read that chalk or baby powder can be good to have around in case of stains.

    We didn't have a 'one little thing.' But we did have a lot of small items. Maybe the biggest thing would have been if we had forgotten the bottle pens, our guest book would have been ruined. We couldn't just substitute a 'paint pen' with a regular one!

    My biggest suggestion is making sure they are all packed and labeled. Make sure they're with something that you absolutely won't forget. There are so many stories about people forgetting the cake knife, guestbook pens, etc. we had most of these in the same box as the favors and cardbox so it was much easier to organize later on.
