The Essential Wedding Day Emergency Kit

As anyone who has recently been married will tell you, there are so many things that can go wrong on your wedding day. Most of disasters are inconveniences rather than show stoppers, and can be taken care of with a little bit of planning and foresight.

Think of your wedding day emergency kit as your insurance policy — an instant solution to any niggling problems that might arise.

Be sure to save this handy checklist and tick off each item as you add it to your pre-packed kit which should be entrusted to a responsible person to look after during the day.
