What Is An Emergency Bridal Kit?

A list of vendors
Have a couple of lists printed (not on a phone!) which has numbers and names of all your wedding vendors. If there is any issue, you can just hand this list to someone and ask them to co-ordinate and manage. Don’t get into co-ordination yourself on the day of the event. Sit back and chill!
