What to Include in Your Wedding Day Purse

Are you wondering what to include in your cute little wedding purse?  Here are a few of my recommended essentials.

A Compact Mirror

You want to be sure that your wedding pictures don’t capture your smile with a piece of spinach in your teeth. So, consider keeping a compact mirror in your wedding day purse.

A Tube of Lipstick

After your marathon kissing ensues with your parents, family members, friends and your new groom, you are going to definitely need lipstick. It will be great for touchups as your wedding day progresses.

Sugar-Free Mints

You will hold a lot of conversations on your wedding day. So, keep some sugar-free mints in your purse. You absolutely, positively do not want gum!

A Pretty Handkerchief

If you get one of those pretty ones owned by your grandma or aunt, your hankie will do double duty as your “something borrowed” and your means for dabbing away your special tears.

Two Aspirin

You don’t want to endure a headache your entire wedding day! Keep a couple of pain killers in your purse to help ease the pain.

Two Safety Pins and Two Bobby Pins

Keep two safety pins in your wedding day purse for a possible dress mishap. Keep two bobby pins in your wedding day purse for a possible hair mishap.

A Little Bit of Cash

You may find that you need some cash for a last minute purchase or a vendor gratuity.

Skip the Cell Phone

As tempting as it may seem, don’t keep your cell phone in your purse. Let someone else take your calls for the day!

Allow Someone Else to Carry Your Wedding Day Purse

Okay, now that your purse is well-stocked with your wedding day essentials, let someone close to you carry the clutch for you.  You don’t want to have to worry about keeping up with your purse during the entire reception.
