What do you actually take to the reception hall?

I just scheduled our final meeting with our catering hall. We are getting married there as well as having our reception.

My list includes:

1. Unity Candle
2. Seating Chart
3. Place cards

I know everyone says you should have an emergency kit.

What goes in the emergency kit?

So far I plan to put:

1. safety pins
2. bobby pins
3. powder
4. lip gloss
5. some sort of clothing cleaner (i think tide has wipes for spills)

Am I leaving anything out?

Are you going to have a box or a bag to put the wedding cards in? I am just trying to help out.

OK, I'm new to this...what is the chalk for? The only thing I can think of is covering a stain???

Ohhhh chalk is used for stains?? I was wondering why everyone was recommending chalk!

Does anyone have any suggestions on stain wipes? I know they sell them. Was wondering if one was better than another.

I thought of some more things:

guestbook
listerine
comfortable shoes
extra stockings
card box
petal cones
confetti

slideshow (laptop or dvd, whichever we decide to bring)

One of my friends worked really hard on their slideshow and ended up forgetting the DVD from home. What a waste!

just to be on the safe side in case of any discrepancies you should have copies of all your vendor contracts.
