I was reading a wedding day must have the other day: Straws! I thought what a great idea to be able to pull that out for a client!

I was reading really quick, but I also have a lint roller.

So many great ideas I will have to make a note...I always like to take an extra tie to match in with the colour scheme of the wedding as you never know who may misplace it just before the speeches! Standby cufflinks are handy to and as I am in the UK a big white golf umbrella :o)

I scanned through the other responses real quickly, so I'm sorry if this is a repeat but I always bring extra white linens with me in case there is an ugly, or just uncovered, table.

As a wedding photographer, I always have a ton of AA and AAA batteries on hand. I am in the process of filling a small tackle box for bobby pins, hand sanitizer, safety pins, buttons (a groom lost a pants button once) and other often overseen nick-nacks.

I'm curious how everyone is keeping their kits organized for fast, easy access to items? I used a tackle box, but I still have extra items that don't fit. Any additional ideas?

I have had a few different containers - the first one, the "Magic Basket", got stolen - so it must have been amazing.  That was a picnic basket that I got at an estate sale.  The next, and current one, is a vintage cosmetic case (luggage from the 60's) - it is the perfect size with locks.  I am a great believer in repurposing and upcycling ...

Bug spray (be sure it has leaves no spots and has no smell or smells nice)

I was wondering if some one would mention it.  Working on destinations weddings mosquitoes are horrible to deal with.

Some excellent ideas and tips (white chalk; who knew?) to which I would add:

*healthy snack-packs (nuts, raisins, granola/energy bars) for brides/kids who haven't eaten

*a "floral repair emergency kit" including floral wire, floral tape, and wire clippers

*Leatherman or other all-purpose tool

*parasols/spray bottles/sunscreen if an outdoor wedding in warm weather

*pens/notepad

*if you know there will be computer tech provided by the couple or friends/family of the couple, extra USB/Firewire cables, an octopus adapter, and an extension cord with surge protector

*digital camera and connector cable

* a CD/mp3 player with some ceremony/prelude music choices

 

Thanks all for your contributions, and may you never need your emergency kits!

Call me crazy, I didn't even think an emergency kit was necessary!
