Looking for the perfect bridal gift for that friend who is getting married? Look no further than a thoughtfully constructed, wedding day emergency kit!
Wedding day emergency kits are a cute, practical way to show the bride that you care. If she winds up needing any of the items (and chances are she will need at least one of them), she will be thankful that you spent the time and effort putting it together just for her special day.
