Energy Bars – You and your groom will barely have time to stop and eat throughout the day. Of course you’ve ordered in some brunch for your wedding party while they’re getting ready (hint, hint) but if you’re getting ready early morning and your cocktail hour doesn’t start till 6 – it’s good to have quick grab and go snacks on hand.
Chalk – for removing grease spots from your groom’s shirt or your dress.
Baby wipes – if you’re taking pictures prior to your ceremony, you run the risk of your dress/train getting a bit dirty; baby wipes are gentle enough for the fabric.

Happy Wedding Planning!
