Avoid
Wedding Day Disasters - The Rescue Kit
June
09, 2009
The
wedding rescue kit, bag, box, bundle, sack or whatever name
you want to give it, is much of the time ignored or thought
of as one of those little unnecessary extras found stuck
on wedding organizing lists. Not true, I say! A Wedding
Rescue Kit can be a lifesaver not just for the bride but
also for the entire wedding party including the groom and
his attendants. In fact, it does not hurt to have a kit
just for the groom and the children in the wedding. The
idea is not to fill the kit up with everything but the kitchen
sink, the idea is to have rescue items. What is a rescue
item? A rescue item is anything that will rescue you from
a potential disaster or at the very least an uncomfortable
situation on the day of your wedding. On a day when all
eyes are on you, when everything is being photographed and
recorded for the world to see, why on earth take chances?
The
Rescue Kit is so easy to put together, just get a small
or medium size gym bag, label the outside of the bag in
big bold letters "Wedding Rescue Kit - Bride",
"Wedding Rescue Kit - Groom" and " Wedding
Rescue Kit - Kids" or the name of the child and start
packing your rescue items. Items that can spill put in zip
lock bags. Items that can spoil wait until the morning of
the wedding before adding them; items that will wrinkle
fold with tissue paper and sandwich between two pieces of
cardboard and tape. The idea is to make your rescue items
helpful not another problem.
If
you have children who are going to be in the wedding whether
they are your children or the children of a friend, make
up a rescue kit for them. Give your friend an empty gym
bag already labeled and tell them; please fill this bag
with rescue items. Here is a list to help you. Trust me,
you will be glad you did and so will they. How enjoyable
can it be for you when children are fussy and adults are
scolding and irritated? It is your day to relax and enjoy,
you have spent a lot of time and effort to make it right
so give yourself a little insurance and be prepared for
the unexpected.
