Wedding Survival Kits

I am planning on giving my friend a wedding survival kit for her bridal shower, do you have any funny ideas, things that I can add to her kit......im looking for funny, and useful everyday things....any interesting or creative ideas??

Get a cheap (or used and spray paint or decorate it) tool box.

On the top level include:

Clear Nail Polish
Fuzzy bunny slippers (glue a little tulle veil on them)
breath mints
a disposable camera (glue some white sequins on it ) this way she can make sure she gets pics of the day from her perspective..not just the photogs.
hair spray (mini)
umbrella

underneath the top layer:
condoms
a vibrator with batteries (in case groom is too tired)
a get out of jail free card
socks (in case she has cold feet)
green m&ms
handcuffs
a ridiculous size name tag with the grooms name on it...so she can put it on his tux (this way she won't say the wrong name like princess diana did)
a female urinal or depends or poise (because who can actually use a public toilet in a gown like that?)
a business card for a local taxi co..as a back up to make sure she gets to the wedding. (the person who was supposed to take me had their car break down that morning!)
a shot glass and a little bravery in a bottle (tequilla nip)

at spencers i am sure you can find some more funny stuff...like fart b gone..etc.

What would you put into your survival kit? Or if you were a bridesmaid, what would you expect to find in it? I bought cute little pocket books for my girls...and I'm making them into little survival/emergency kits. Thought it would be a cute idea.

I have a little bit of an idea of what to put in them, went shopping at the dollar store yesterday and picked up some stuff: toothbrush, hairbrush, lip gloss, advil, mini manicure kit, mini sewing kit, some mints and some gum.

Can you think of anything else I can put in them? Am I missing anything?

Thanks for your help in advance!!

Of these things, we used the sewing kit - a few groomsmen had loose buttons, the advil, bandaids, tape, baby wipes, deodorant, tissues, most of the hair stuff, all of the makeup, and the food.

One of the neatest things I had, which I used because my curls needed retouching, was a cordless curling iron. http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.a sp?pid=77381&catid=80575&trx=PLS T-0-SEARCH&trxp1=80575&trxp2=773 81&trxp3=1&trxp4=0&btrx=BUY- PLST-0-SEARCH

Now I keep it in my desk at work for quick touchups if I need them (like rainy days!)

I am going to a wedding shower in a few weks to a friend I know, but not very well. Since I had no idea what to get her, I got an idea about making a wedding day survival kit filled with things she may need like mini sewing kit, asprin, make-up wipes, manicure touch-up polish, band-aids, and double sided adhesive tape. I am looking/asking for ideas for any thing else that could be needed. Any previous brides out there who found/needed something at the last minute? Thanks everyone!

Gel deodorant!!
Tide stick/ bleach pens!
Clear nail polish for runs in hose
A bottle of water
Protein bar or protein that's easy to eat, like nuts, because brides are nervous and protein digests slower and won't make blood sugar rocket the way carbs will.
I had more ideas but I can't remember them now!!
Try theknot.com, I bet they have some stuff on there!!!
