Most of the items on this list that I’ve listed, I have used at the weddings I have coordinated and planned. They are practical items that can help in many situations. Every wedding is different of course, but a lot of similar situations happen and if you research these kits, a lot of the lists contain the same items. Take it from people with experience. These items can really save the day. Be prepared for anything and enjoy everything.
