The emergency kit pins on our Pinterest boards are some of the most saved we’ve ever made — because small things go wrong at every wedding. Pack once, hand it to the right person, and stop worrying.

For the groom and groomsmen
Spare collar stays, a spare tie, cufflinks, socks, a lint roller, a small sewing kit and the tip envelopes.
The printable emergency kit checklist lets you tick items off as you pack and print a copy for your maid of honor.
The venue bag
Pack everything a week before, not the night before, so there is time to buy what’s missing.
General information, not legal, medical or financial advice. Confirm details with your vendors, venue, officiant and local authorities.
