I was shocked while in high school about the girls who already knew exactly what they wanted in their weddings, had their dress and cake picked out, and all that was lacking was the groom. While I’ll tell every bride that you need to plan your wedding, I’m not sure that it should really be done that early. If you’re in high school or college, then why not just enjoy where you are? But I digress. There are really a ton of great advantages that you have when you plan your wedding. Perhaps the best advantage is that you can really have your hands in it and you get to enjoy all those little planning details that you’d miss if somebody else was doing it all for you.

So, here is a compiled list of everything you should consider packing in your emergency wedding day kit, look through it, not all of it will be necessary depending on your situation, but then again, it’s always best to be prepared.
