Let me start by saying that almost everything purchased CAME FROM THE DOLLAR TREE! If it did not come for the dollar tree it came from the bargain bins at Michaels or Walgreens. Seriously, shop sales people.
Makeup remover cloths. We all make "oops"es. Best have something to fix that with.
Microfiber towel: lint free & great for just about anything. & Two packs of tissues.
Baby Powder. YOU NEED THIS SHIT. You might as well cover every part of your body that is covered by clothing in it (especially since her wedding is the end of June. It's HOT people.)
Lint Roller! Because all that dog and cat hair loves to stick to you when you're about to have pictures taken.
Stain remover pen. Again, we all make the "oops"es
Nipple Covers! Oh you mean you can't wear a bra with that? NO PROBLEM.
Box cutter! Because you never know what might need a knife
Micro toothbrush with toothpaste already on it. Freshen that breath and make your teeth look better before you have to smile so hard your face hurts.
Alternate lint brush. Sometimes the sticky kind JUST DOESN'T WORK.
Q-tips, cotton balls, cotton sheets. Because any of those might be necessary in the application or removal of makeup.
Scissors. You know you need them.
Safety pins! Because you never know when something decides to break. It's the duct tape of clothing repair.
Ivy Green Nail Polish. This is specific to my bride. She's doing an all ivy theme, and I know she wanted to get ivy stenciled on her nails. So...I thought I'd give her this with its thin brush to do the detail work.
Wet ones. Because who knows what germy things might need to be cleaned (Walmart $1 bin)
Tea lights & Matches. You can get a set of tea lights (about 5) and 24 boxes of matches at the dollar tree. I still have these matches left from the LAST bride I made a bridal emergency kit for. It just helps to kind of chill out and relax you while you're getting ready.
Mini-Mani Kit & Cute Nail Files. These are actually REALLY good kits, and again, $1, dollar tree.
Mini sewing kit. $1.50 at Michaels in the bargain bins. Sometimes they have them for $1-$2 at kroger or dollar tree or michaels.
Bobby Pins! These are a girl's best friend. They were 2 for $4 (I remember when they used to be 2 for $1. Now that's CHEAP to get them 2 packs for $4... -_-). I got both packs so that we'd have a wide array of colors for everyone's hair.
Double sided "fashion tape." Basically it keeps your dress from falling, lol.
And last, but not least, I bought 4 water bottles and two packs of glitter letters. The 4 bottles were $1 each at Dollar Tree. The letters were $4.99 / pack (but they were like 120 letters/numbers per pack. I just wanted to make sure I had enough of all the RIGHT letters. And I did open and use both packs but it was more for consistency and cuteness than actually running out of anything. And, I have all the others to use in the future. They were self-adhesive and hard to get off. As long as you didn't dishwasher these bottles (handwash should be fine) they should stay on for a good long while. But at the very least, for the day of. Because you don't want to spill on dresses! So something with a lid is necessary!)
For some reason I don't have the Bride one for the Vertical side, but it says "Bride" in pretty script letters. It doesn't have her name. Not sure why I decided to do that, lol.
But there you go! A bridal bugout bag! Take my ideas or add in some of your own special to your bride. I promise she will appreciate the sentiment.
