little things you dont think of

Little tissue packages! no one had any on my wedding day and we were all tearing up! also, dryer sheets are easy to pack and do a good job at removing static. hair spray (just in case) and clear lip gloss is good too. scissors are good because most of the tags are left on everything until the last minute. oh, and I hope you don't run into this, but a stapler saved the day for the guys - all of their rented suits did not fit correctly so the stapler was the seamstress! actually ended up fine - I didn't even notice, they told me the next day lol.
