What must be at hand on the wedding day, but what is so often forgotten? It is the so-called emergency bag or emergency kit . We've compiled a list of things and accessories that even the best-prepared couples can find useful. Who should provide such a bag and who is responsible for it during the wedding?

What is a wedding day emergency purse?

If no one knows what is in Queen Elizabeth II's little black purse, which she keeps so carefully every time in her white gloved fingers, then the composition of the wedding suitcase is not a secret. On the contrary, it should be known and prepared in advance to avoid unexpected and unplanned surprises at the moments when they are least needed. The wedding day is the long-awaited climax, so it's better if nothing overshadows it, right? It is by no means anticipating negative scenarios, on the contrary, by playing out various situations - from the curious to the truly alarming - with the ushers or the wedding planner in time, you can ensure yourself step by step against all the "what ifs".

Who is responsible for the composition of the emergency purse before the wedding and during the celebration?

It is best if they are ushers, bridesmaids or a wedding planner, as these people are involved in various wedding activities in one way or another. Parents, relatives and even the closest friends can be too emotional, so the less responsibility on their shoulders, the more joy they experience. Prepare one bag for the bride and one for the groom, as the dressing and dressing usually take place in different rooms or even places. Currently, the survival kit can even be designed according to the wedding style.

If time and other resources allow, you can embroider the names of the bride and groom or a common logo, design each item using the wedding color range, paper and other design elements. Of course, a couple can provide such emergency purses for each other. Let's be honest, most often it will be the bride who will take care of her husband-to-be, but not always. The main thing is that this work is done and all the necessary things are provided.
