Wedding Day Emergency Kit - Set Up Kit

Today on The Bride Link, you can find out exactly what you need to pack in your wedding day emergency kit! For a quick cheat sheet, get your FREE copy of our Wedding Day Emergency Kit List! 

To be as prepared as you can be for your wedding day, it's best to create two different types of kits. Today, we're addressing your Set-Up Kit, which lists everything that your set-up person should have while decorating for a wedding. Also called your decor kit, it helps solve easy problems as soon as they pop up. If you've opted to have a friend or family member do your wedding decor, they'll have access to common items and won't need to bother you, the guest of honor, while you're getting ready on such an important day. We discussed building your Personal Kit on a separate blog, which focuses on what you need on hand while getting ready. It's full of items like bobby pins, hairspray, deodorant, and that's for you as the...

You should be ready for anything on your wedding day, especially for an emergency! That's why we suggest creating a wedding day emergency kit and have it close by just in case you need it.

We'll discuss the second kit on a separate blog,  which will be your setup kit or your decorating kit. Your setup kit is more for the person doing all of the decor/setup.

How to Decide on the Right Decorations for Your Wedding

How big should the centerpieces be? What accent colors do we use for the banners and signs? Are my vintage decorations worth the additional cost? These questions and a million more like it run through the head of couples trying to plan their perfect wedding. Most brides begin visiting venues with no idea what decor they plan on using or where to start. Take a few minutes to stop and think about decor before you start touring potential locations!

COVID-19 Action Plan for Weddings and Events

We have gathered some suggestions to help you navigate the pandemic situation and created a COVID-19 Action Plan for Weddings and Events we wanted to share with you. Our advice is only advice, so please consult a lawyer on legal questions.

  • Event insurance is not currently available, but consider getting event insurance in the future if your date is far enough into the future.
  • Contact vendors you work with to make sure you are on the same page about how to handle cancelations and especially postponements.
  • Review your contract to see if you are entitled to a partial refund or a full refund if you cancel. If you postpone, see what restrictions or penalties you have listed in the original contract.
  • Start with your venue and then contact your wedding pros that will be the hardest to rebook (for example, a caterer may do 5 events in a day but a venue only does 1).
  • Limit in-person meetings and switch to phone meetings only if possible.
