An emergency kit acts as a stress-buster and enables you to calmly deal with unexpected situations. Knowing that are prepared for any unforeseen disasters at your french wedding will help you relax. Hopefully no matter what arises, you’re bound to have something in your kit that can deal with it!
Despite checking and double-checking everything…twice and military-like planning like in Mission Impossible everything…twice, problems can will arise on your wedding day and even possibly at a french wedding. However, being prepared with a [spin]|bride’s[/spin] emergency kit will mean that whatever happens at your french wedding, you will be ready for it and you can carry on with your special day with a smile on your face.
Keep all items in a spacious box, bag or basket so it’s easy to find everything at a simple glance and you don’t have to rummage around.
If you have a destination wedding, you may want to ask your wedding planner to ensure that there are all of the health items on your list if these are hard to come by.
The best type of maid of honor is like a boyscout – always prepared and always helpful. She should ideally earn her merit badge and put together a bridal emergency kit, full of those oh-so-useful things everyone needs.
Just in case your maid-of-honor prefers boy watching to boy scouting, you could either ask someone to help you put this bridal emergency kit together, or pull it together yourself or as a last resort delegate it to your wedding planner. If she is going to be there for the entire day, drop her an email and check that she has all of these things in her kit and tick it off. Especially on a destination wedding, if she has it covered you or your bridesmaid do not want to have to worry over it.
