Well, a bit of spot remover would have been useful at the reception, for one of the bridesmaid’s dresses was attacked by an hors d’oeuvre — but club soda took care of the worst of the stain.

And in the hot sticky summer weather, I was glad I’d packed a tiny fan in my purse so the bride didn’t melt on her way to the altar… but until your comment, I’d completely forgotten about a post I wrote last year about the Wedding Day Emergency Kit, however: very cool. It definitely goes back onto my standing gift list for when the next bridal shower comes around!
