The royal wedding has me thinking...What to bring for a wedding day?
Assuming you are in a tux (or have a small purse) what do you pack?

An appetite, great thirst and a flask for the wedding party. (the other gear stays in the car)

The original question is tough. I originally thought "man bag", but not with a tux! (A nice man bag with a suit might be OK.)

With a tux, I'd bring minimal gear:
  • thin pocket knife
  • fauxton flashlight
  • car key (not full set of keys)
  • cell phone
  • money clip with credit card, ID, etc.
  • some business cards
  • square pocket (doubling as handkerchief)
  • sunglasses
  • 2 or 3 bandaids (Why not? They use no room.)
  • camera (if cell phone camera is insufficient)

Cash.
condoms (I know, wishful thinking given the stress of the wedding day, but I can dream can't I?).
pocket knife (had to trim some threads...).

I guess we girls have a slight advantage. No pockets but purses, although there's not much room in a clutch bag (At least I think that's what those little purses are called.) and we are handicapped by those silly shoes!

Tylenol/advil, bandaids, hankie, small knife/multi-tool, micro photon, mini bic, compact with mirror, pack of lifesavers/few hard candies, cash, coin, condom...

Is lipstick flammable?

You need hankies for the inevitable tears.....I must have passed out four or five at my brother's wedding.

Good start.

A knife with good scissors so nervous hands don't take a chunk out of a bridesmaid. Safety pins for those emergency repairs and alterations. Lighter for the cigars and candles. A bandanna has lots of uses. A small flashlight that rolls because rolling the light causes dropped jewelry and other items to sparkle.

A shotgun is handy for keeping feet warm.

If you have to give a speech of a toast, don't wing it. Write down and take a copy on cue cards.

Edit Reason: Typos. They don't matter so much on your cues unless it's a biggie.
