Double sided tape is a new one on me. Good idea.

A Walther PPK 7.65 mm, of course.

The martini can be gathered in the library.

Cigars can be lighted with a candle.

Any chance of any trouble at all I'd go for a pair of knuckle dusters and some running shoes.
"If the radio tells you to go to a disturbance at a wedding - don't go" old coppers saying.
It'll be a bloodbath. In a fight in a bar only the few involved join in; but at a wedding everyone is someones brother/son/uncle/daughter....
And if feelings are so high they'll start fighting at a wedding.....

By Far A Vitronox classic keychain Knife with a pair of scissors. Loose threads and such become common with my dress clothing and most females I know dress clothing.

I was at a wedding where a bridesmaid got a spot of blood on the bodice of her dress. A few drops of hydrogen peroxide dissolved it immediately and saved her considerable embarrassment. I pack an eyedropper of H2O2 in my luggage to disinfect small wounds (though H2O2 has fallen from favour with medical types).

"...there's not much room in a clutch bag..."

Let me give you a little tip for hands-free and shoulder-free carry: thigh-high single leg pantyhose w/o the panty part.

The very comfortable wide elastic bands can carry a multitude of stuff tucked into them if you don't wear extremely tight skirts of extremely thin fabric: folding cash, condoms, tampons, a flat lighter, Photon, lip tube of Vasoline (for firestarting -- what did you think?). You can wear the flat stuff in front, but you'll have to shift the bulkier stuff to the inside a bit.

A small handgun like a "Baby Browning"/Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket Pistol could fit okay, but it may shift a bit, so you'll probably have to wear a fuller skirt, and be prepared to shift it occasionally (discretely, of course) after dancing or walking much. (I tried it with a small Beretta, but 5" is just a bit too bulky.)

I strongly suggest going with the widest band you can find, both for comfort and "storage" room.

Thanks Sue! Reminds me of that scene in Miss Congeniality where Sandra Bullock starts pulling out her guns to go into hair and make-up.

I'd much prefer to have gear on me than in a purse. I'm very likely to forget and leave that behind! No worries about a tight skirt here either. wink

Don't go without a nice fountain pen and some paper in your pocket.

And don't forget the car kit:

Obtain a spare car key (in advance)
miles of 550
old tins
shaving cream
confetti
rice
balloons
hydrogen gas (optional)
a moose head (or similar) - stuffed
cardboard or poster card
thick markers, multi coloured
gaffa tape
streamers


and then there’s the luggage kit, things which the bride and groom may have neglected to pack for themselves, but you could add to their bags for them .......

Sue, that ain't lady like.
The proper thing to do is to ask your partner to shoot the oaf for you.
