Bridal Crisis Kit

Murphy's Law states that if anything can go wrong, it will, at the worst possible moment. But you can break Murphy's Law on your wedding day by being prepared for unwanted emergencies. By putting together a crisis kit, you can save your time, energy and nerves should something start to go wrong.

To create your crisis kit, decorate a bucket or basket in coordinating colors. As you think of all the possible things that could solve your wedding day emergencies, take the items and put them in your bucket or basket. Before you know it, you'll be more than prepared. Some of the items are available in travel sizes for convenience. This crisis kit also makes a creative bridal shower gift.
