Planning a wedding involves countless details, and it’s easy to overlook some of the smaller, yet crucial, elements. As wedding planners, we've seen it all, and we want to help you avoid last-minute surprises. Here’s a list of often-forgotten items that can make a big difference on your special day. Make sure not to forget these Wedding Day Essentials!
1. Emergency Kit
Create an emergency kit with essentials like safety pins, a sewing kit, stain remover, pain relievers, and extra makeup. These little items can be lifesavers in case of unexpected mishaps. Many times your coordination team will have these items with them on wedding day.
2. Wedding Rings
It might seem obvious, but wedding rings can easily be forgotten in the excitement. Designate a responsible person to keep them safe until the ceremony.
3. Vows and Toasts
If you're writing personal vows or speeches, make sure to print them out and keep them handy. Consider a designated spot in your bag or with your coordinator so they’re not lost in the hustle.
4. Tissues
Weddings are emotional! Whether it’s tears of joy or happy laughter, having tissues on hand is a thoughtful touch. Consider placing them in your bridal bouquet or having them readily available for guests.
5. Comfort Items
Weddings can be long days, so pack a pair of comfortable shoes or sandals to change into during the reception. Your feet will thank you later!
6. Food and Water
With all the excitement, it's easy to forget to eat and stay hydrated. Arrange for snacks, breakfast, lunch, and water to be accessible for you and your bridal party throughout the day.
7. Guestbook and Pens
Make sure your guestbook and any necessary writing utensils are set up at the reception. This is an easy detail to overlook but important for preserving memories.
8. Personal Touches
If you have specific decorations, family heirlooms, or special items you want included, double-check that these are packed and ready to go.

The wedding day can be a whirlwind of excitement and emotions, making it easy to forget essential items. By planning ahead and creating a checklist, you can ensure that your big day goes smoothly.
