Groom Survival Kit

Ooo, I like this idea ?. You seem to have most things covered - how about:

- a wee bottle of whisky / brandy (to calm the nerves as well!)

- something to make him think of a nice 'two of you' memory (eg, a picture, a poem, something small) (because it should make him feel ? if he isn't already!)

- a pen and paper just in case he still needs to write his speech ?

- a CD of songs he likes to play while he's getting ready

erm, that's my brain done for now, will see if i can think of anymore and let you know!

HTH x

PS - how do i make this stop doing the double spaces between lines?? It really bugs me!

Are you serious? Emergency cufflinks and rings? ?

Hmmmmm - mints - avoiding beer breathe for your "kiss the bride" kiss

wet wipes - great for anything!! from beer spills to great aunts lippy on his cheek!!

How about a a script to remind him of his lines

'I do' !!

Totally serious Spring! Is that weird??

Thanks for the ideas girls, will add them to the list! Keem them coming ?

{Only press 'Enter' once instead of twice to get single line spacings I think??

what spring said, you cannot be serious?? <said in John McEnroe style>

I think it's weird yes but i'll let you off because you're super duper organised.

I just think another set of rings etc is a bit OTT as you could do that for everything. Imagine he got you another dress or shoes just in case you spilt something on yours. It's just more expense.

I have never known anyone plan things to the 'nth' degree like you do. do you not stress yourself out?

OMG you're funny Hepburn.

I've never ever thought I might need spare rings!!

It's really not that weird, they came as part of one of those 'Best Man Survival Kits' as did the cufflinks. So really I'm not that odd.

I got H2B the kit when he was best man 2 weeks ago and have kept the rings and cufflinks for our wedding! And they are gaudy plastic things that are probably only about 1p each!

And planning the way I do isn't stressful at all, it's just who I am...

Hand cream - so you stand a chance of getting your wedding rings on!

I like the idea - I think my HTB would appreciate the list-i-ness of it...

I have the same idea but it was going to be a pair of thermal socks ( no cold feet for him lol) and a wee nip of whisky in a hip flask to put in his sporran (for dutch courage) i think it is a brilliant and funny idea it will lighten the mood (but not to much lol)

Oooh thanks, hadn't thought of handcream! H2B doesn't drink whiskey etc so that wouldn't work for him but a great idea none-the-less!! ?

i'm assuming they were going to be joke ones though. not his and hers diamond set platinum ones from ernest jones or something ?

this is Hepburn we are talking about though KTC?

?

I didn't read it that they were going to be joke ones. I read it that they were going to be there incase someone lost them. In that case i would ask my Mum to chuck me hers. If they are Haribo ones then fine

Ive never been a jewellery person anyway, I'd love a haribo ring!!?

They are definitley not diamond encrusted, they are just plastic fantastic!

I knwo my planning ways may seem strange but in my head it makes perfect sense!

And me but i don't think it would get as far as the Church though ?

I wouldnt bother

FWIW I have a spare shirt to change into in the evening, and a spare tie.. Men are pretty good at fending for them selves (this one is). Clearly I will have my wash kitbag with me, and it allways has everything I need in it with out even thinking about it.. I could grab it now and I would be ready

I am doing something similar -although hadnt thought of immodium! ha ha! ?

I am putting in a little bottle of brandy, some aftershave and nice molten brown smellies, groom socks and pants and socks for best man and ushers, framed Man Utd letter and a card from me. Main pressie will be some cufflinks from Tiffany which im having engraved.

I know some wouldn't bother but I know it will be appreciated but my H2B, regardless of what he has packed in his washbag, so I was just after some ideas ?

Thanks for the ideas and they have been noted!
