Does anyone have a list of things the bride should have with her on her wedding day? I remember seeing a web site for it, but now I forgot it!! I figured I'd ask since I had a nightmare last night about not being prepared or ready!!

Re: Bride's Supplies
Are you talking about what the Emergency Kit should contain or everything?

BRIDES EMERGENCY KIT
This actual kit can take many forms: overnight bag, paper bag, basket, or a really big purse. In general, the kit is left in the bride's dressing/changing room for easy access at the wedding site and is assigned to a mother, bridesmaid, or guest to bring to the reception.
HEALTH Antacid antihistamine, cold remedy, any prescription medications aspirin, Tylenol, or Advil Band-Aids hard candy (better than medicinal scent of cough-drops) Pepto-Bismol or other antacid/upset stomach aid smelling salts tampons, pads
BEAUTY/GROOMING dusting powder for before pictures are taken hand lotion, wipes-wipes Kleenex bobby pins makeup baby powder (also works great for spills on your white dress--just dab with water and then baby powder) makeup remover for face and for clothes lint remover (someone said it even takes makeup off of tuxes!) deodorant perfume makeup kit with extras for 'maids with different coloring/complexions nail polish in shade worn, & remover nail file small hand towel (put them around the neck when doing makeup to avoid stains) hairdryer (not just for hair, also dries dresses from stain removal) gel, hairspray (good for runs in hose too), brush, water mister, barrettes and/or bobby pins toothbrush and toothpaste
ATTIRE 'throwaway' garter clear nail polish for runs in hose earring backs emergency buttons flat shoes or ballet slippers (if necessary) iron pantyhose (extras in case anything happened) safety pins and a sewing kit with thread the color of bridesmaids' dresses, as well as white masking tape or sewing tape(last-minute ripped hems) small sewing kit, thread for all dresses of wedding party small scissors (for thread)
MISCELLANEOUS directions to reception - extra copies phone numbers of all service folks small flashlight spare hat pins (in case florist forgets them for corsages) spare change for phone cooler with juice and sodas (include club soda for stain removal) oranges, crackers duct tape (works on falling hems, broken bouquet handles, wobbly unity candles) champagne - and glasses a list of outstanding to-do's that can be turned over to someone else. (e.g. call ahead to the reception site to tell them that we are on our way; pay clergy and organist; etc.)
