Guest at Special Occasion: Things to Bring

I attended a wedding last night at a first-rate catering hall that had a thoughtful, well-stocked basket in the ladies room on the sink counter. Included was hairspray, a sewing kit, safety pins, small first aid kit, and assorted supplies that a lady-in- distress would be grateful in finding.

It's been quite a while since I last attended a wedding and I thought to jot down a short list of things to bring that might end up coming in handy, based on past experiences and something that another guest had needed last night but no one had.

Guest at Special Occasion: Things To Bring

1. Invitation & Reception Card

2. Wedding Gift

3. GPS (pre-programmed)

4. Print-out of directions (in case of GPS-failure, which has happened to me!)

5. Single dollar bills to tip valet parking

6. Tissues

7. Extra pack of pantyhose (happened to me before, got a big honking run in my stocking, ran late trying to find a local store to buy another pair).

8. Aspirin

9. Wrap or sweater (we sat under the air conditioning vent and it was freezing!)

10. Camera (fresh batteries, empty memory card)

Again, this is a short list and might not included EVERYTHING that you would ever need as a guest at a wedding or special event. The key is, you don't want to go overboard either and pack too much!

What other things can you think of that came in handy as a guest at a special occasion (or, that you really wished you would have brought to make things a whole lot easier for you?). Feel free to leave a comment below.
