DON'T FORGET YOUR BRIDAL EMERGENCY KIT

This is one of the best shower gifts I received. A friend of mine made this for me. I will list all the items and I will post 2 pictures. I absolutley love it
The list below was taken from the KNOT. This is just a list of items that you can include in your own

ESSENTIALS

Band-Aids
Bottle of water
Chalk (to cover up any last minute smudges or smears on your dress)

Extra earring backs
Hair pins/ponytail holder
Hand towelettes
Hem tape
Matches
Mini sewing kit
Safety pins
Scotch tape
Sedatives (don't ask!)
Small folding scissors
Smelling salts (while we don't expect anyone to faint, it has been known to happen)
Spot remover - SHOUT WIPES!
Static-cling spray
Straws (so the bride can sip something without messing up her lipstick)
Tissues

The maid or matron of honor should keep the following items on hand in a small evening bag at all times for the bride:
Breath mints/spray
Cellular phone

Linen handkerchief
Make up (for touch-ups)

Here I go again trying to post pix. The sizing restriction here is so much that trying to attach a decent size pix is crazy. I re-sized it and it is so small Last try

It is so darn tiny you can hardly see it. I think it is way cool of her to do this for me. Sorry I could not make it larger for you ladies to see it better. Here is a pix of it with the items all inside. She even personalied it by listing all the items and putting my FI's name and my name and our wedding date

Love this Idea!
Unfortunately (or fortunately) I won't need one. My limo company supplys the items in a bridal kit included. Plus an extra bout. for the guys if we happen to need it.
Good luck to all!
