Stuff to take to venue

Options
Hi all,

Thinking on from another thread, what things did you lovely lot find useful to have with you on the day/day before or plan to take with you?

Obviously I have thought of the usual paracetamol, plasters etc, but what else?

Thanks in advance :)

    Perfume (you'd be surprised how many people have BO!), gel heel cushion things from primark for a quid, hairspray and my phone. I always seem to lose people right when I need them!

    The day before I just did my normal daily stuff.

    My phone can jog on! As long as I can see OH and DD I'm good! I don't have a primark near me but you can get them from Superdrug, my heels aren't that high though!

    Hairspray I'll have in my room upstairs if required. perfume is a good one - thanks! :)

    A mini sewing kit in case you or the bridesmaid have any dress issues (broken zips, buttons coming off etc.)

    I took a bag for me and all BM's to the venue night before in it was :-

    Gel pads for heels
    Blister plasters
    Normal plasters
    Pain killers
    lipsalve
    nail glue
    sewing kit
    spare tights
    Perfume
    Deodrant
    hairspray
    wetwipes
    tissues
    heatburn/indegestion tablets

    think that was everything got most of it from poundland or primark

    Bottle of fizz in the fridge, something nice with no garlic to eat the evening before, and definitely NO CHOCOLATE especially if you have small bridesmaids!
