One more useful tip: opt for travel-sized and sample-sized tubes and bottles to make your wedding emergency kit smaller. And make sure you have a nice bag for the kit!

You don't have to be responsible for your wedding day emergency kit yourself, delegate it to your maid of honor or wedding planner. However, it will be a good idea to make sure it contains everything you might need during your big day.
