The Duty Of A Bridesmaid

Since I'm now of an age where being honoured with bridesmaid duties means making sure that all of the hard work and organisation pays off - I'm in the process of putting together the Emergency Kit to pack for the day for my Godsister's wedding this Sunday. This should include...

• Sewing Kit, including safety pins and small scissors

• Clear nail polish (helpful for stocking runs)

• Nail file

• Nail polish in the bride's shade

• Makeup (you'll probably have this there anyway!)

• Straws (for drinking without messing up lipstick

• Extra stockings

• Hairspray

• Brush and comb

• Bobbypins and hair elastics

• Tissues

• Lint brush

• Earring backs

• Baby powder (also useful for getting out last-minute spills on a white dress)

• Eye-drops (look for redness reducing)

• Contact lens solution

• Skittles (Brides choice!)

• Mints

• Perfume
  

• Tampons and pads

• Headache medicine (bring two different kinds in case one of the bridal party is allergic)

• Plasters

At this rate, I think I'll need my old D of E rucksack...
