Mazel tov!
Make sure to have snacks, some quiet games if the little ones are around, extra phone chargers, books, baby wipes for spills, and extra stockings and underwear.

You can never know. Rather be safe than sorry. It's good to be prepared, especially with little kids.

When your body is 40 but you dance like a 20 year old you might find out the hard way! Wink

Shout wipes
Bobby pins
Safety pins

Side tip: make sure your kids are fed before you go to the wedding. Order food if necessary. It’s the difference between kids behaving and not. Make sure you eat as well before the meal. The meal ends up being hectic with pictures and Mazel Tovs…

Wear a zip up or button down shirt when getting your makeup done so you don't have to pull it over your head.

If kids are sitting around the hall for hours before the wedding begins, it's good to keep them entertained.

Extra underthings can come in handy in case of rips or stains.

Not a packing thing but if the chosson and kallah are fasting, make sure they eat in the yichud room before dancing.
I was too nervous and didn't and it almost ended in fainting.

Stockings rip, yes you can’t see it under the gown but it can be uncomfortable depending how/where it rips.
Underwear I brought because I change out of my gown before leaving the hall, especially nice if you have a long ride home. If everyone is going home in their gowns then I would just pack for the really little ones.
On that note, if you have a baby or toddler bring a pack n play so they can go to sleep.

Hear me out: get a klonopin wafer prescribed for yourself for day off. Marrying off a child can gobsmack you emotionally. Better be prepared.
