50 Amazon Must-Haves for Your Wedding Day Emergency Kit
Do you expect your clients to remember every little detail and essential item they need on their most important day? No! Thankfully for them, they have amazing wedding planners like us to look out for them. Just like Mary Poppins, we have “bag of tricks” (more like box) that holds all of the basic and essential items need for their special day. Event planners have to be ready for anything so why not get a box together that has the essential needs for your couple on their wedding day. Below, we’ve included our favorite, must-have items for your emergency kit. As you gain experience, you will learn, tweak, and fine tune your box to match your needs.
1. Let’s get our box
I like to use this stackable storage/tool box for my events because it is portable! The key to an element emergency kit is how easy it is to carry from one place to another. You can use both of these boxes for weddings or use one as a floral box and an event box or for whatever you will need. As wedding planners, we have a ton of stuff we have to bring along so having a wheeled and compact tote to carry all your items will save you time and your back! Once you have the box, let’s get some organizing containers for inside.
2. Organize
Who said the containers were only for food? These are a great way to keep everything in your emergency kit organized and contained. You want to be able to find items as easily and quickly as you can I love how these come in different sizes in order to fix our bigger essential items. From the bag itself to the way you organize the items within it, sticking to a tried-and-true process is always key. Consistency and compartmentalization are your best friends.
Yay, now we having everything to start our emergency kit! Below, we’ve compiled a list of what we have in our kit and how we organize it.
