Wedding: What's In My Bag?



I think one of the big worries when you are a full day wedding guest is how much you need to take with you, do you pack light, do you pack everything? What do you do? So I thought I would run through everything I had in my bag for the wedding. Call it a wedding guest checklist?



  • Money 
  • Cards, ID, Emergency Card (In a small purse) 
  • Keys 
  • Phone 
  • Portable Charger, Cable (Charged) 
  • Glasses/Sunglasses
  • Perfume 
  • Lipstick
  • Foundation (Top Up, Just in Case - In Sample Pot) 
  • Powder (To Remove oil) & Brush
  • Suncream 
  • Camera (Olympus Pen E-PL8) 
  • Tampons/Pads (Because Karma, if you take them - it won't happen - hopefully) 
  • Paracetamol 
  • Hair ties/Kirby Grips 
  • Tissues


If I could take more - I would. I am the person who would have a suitcase given the chance! But I must admit I did use most of it.

Do you pack light for weddings? What are your must haves?

  7. I don't think I can add to this list. Next wedding the bride will be my best friend and I'll be responsible for her makeup, so other than everything you mentioned, I'll also be packing a full on makeup kit with me... yep!

  11. I usually have a little clutch bag and find myself only being able to bring my phone and a few bits of makeup. I've even forgot to bring money before so this post is great for me haha!

  14. The last weddingI went to I took a stupid box clutch that had space for literally just my phone! I had to organise it all so flat so it could close. Next time I will be planning a little better and getting a decent size bag so I can fit all this in! X

  25. Aaah, I can't go to weddings without a little snack haha, yes I may be an adult but Asian weddings can last a life time and the girl gets hungry. I usually end up packing sweets, nuts and a whole host of other things lol!

  26. I don't know what I'd do without my portable charger! I also love the Olympus Pen for special occasions as it's so good but just portable enough :)
