Brides, what else should I put in my emergency kits?

I'm an up and coming Wedding Planner...fully certified but this is my first wedding! It's on June 12 and I feel like I'm getting married all over again! I want everything to go PERFECTLY and I KNOW it'll be an amazing ceremony. So, what other things should I put in my emergency kit? So far I have: a first aid kit with band aids, pain relievers, Neosporin etc, then I have a box that I filled with: Tissues, tampons, red bull (at groom's request) Axe body spray, sewing kit, safety pins, lint roller, lotion, tooth brushes and tooth paste (groom's a smoker so bride requested that) mints, nail file and clippers, hand sanitizer, waters that I'll have in a cooler in my car, Tide pen, shine control papers (I recommend these if you're getting married the the summer- they take the shine w/o taking the makeup...inexpensive too!).

I think I have my bases covered but... what else?

Update:

Knew thought about that super glue! That's an awesome idea! Thanks!

Update 2:

Oh yea, I do have hair pins/ bobby pins, thanks for the reminder.

Update 3:

I even have imodium for diarrhea and gas relief....lol it came in the first aid kit.

    Preparation H--sounds silly, but if either bride or groom didn't sleep the night before b/c of nerves it takes away the eye puffiness.

    Lip gloss

    Small mirror

    Tweezers

    Congratulations and best of luck to you and your husband-to-be. What a exciting time for you. may you be blessed on your marriage. i imagine that is an somewhat nice idea to furnish your bridesmaids a wedding ceremony survival equipment. It sounds to me like you've seen fantastically a lot each and every thing. per chance a %. of shuttle length tissues or a keepsake handkerchief can be a delightful addition. you could purchase cloth handkerchiefs at shops that carry "mature" women's outfits inclusive of JC Penney, Sears, or Macy's. in case you do not have time for that, very few shuttle length tissues may be high-quality. Have a pleased wedding ceremony day!

    A small piece of white chalk...sounds crazy but it works really good I wore a white shirt to my baby shower (even after many spills on my tummy over the months I still wore white...don't ask why lol) and of course I was munching in the car on the way to the shower and got chocolate on my shirt we ran into shopko and I washed what I could with water and remembered the white chalk trick bought some and no one noticed the chocolate at the shower.

    Nylons, if someone gets deoderant on a piece of clothing you can rub the nylons on it and it will disappear!

    clear nail polish

    crackers, for the turning stomach

    double stick tape/double sided clothing tape, to hold straps in place, or otherpeices of clothing in place

    hairspray

    small mirror

    How excited you must be! Good luck!

    Sounds like you have just about everything covered! What about a travel size deodorant, chapstick, bobby pins...that's all I can think of right now. Good luck!!!

    clear nail polish if anyone is wearing hose that might run

    super glue in case someone cuts themselves in a place where a bandaid would be too noticeable (hand)

    Some blister relief, like moleskin or something

    hairspray

    good luck!
