When you got married (or someone you know) what was missing that you wish you would have had with you at the rehearsal, service or reception? I'm helping my cousin plan a "just in case" bag and would love ideas from you wonderful women on what to put in it.”

  • I didn't need it, but white chalk can cover a smudge (lipstick, chocolate, etc) on a dress. And everyone always need safety pins. I did find peppermints handy - not only do they keep your breath fresh, but during pictures, it keeps you from getting a dry throat without ruining your lipstick! (Any hard candy will do)

  • SNEAKERS!
    Uggg the end of the night, as we were all going to the after party, all I wanted were my flip flops or sneakers!
    hee hee
    Also, bottled water in every room.
    The limo home only had booze. At that point, we were DONE!
