Vintage Budget Eco Bride

Before you go tossing any of the packing material some of your Christmas gifts came in, you may want to keep some of it.  Or, you may have some of these left from previous years, saving them in case you found a use for them.  In particular, a cloth bag that a sheet set or pajamas came in, or a zippered plastic one that a bath kit or a sheet set came in would make a great travel toiletry bag to take on your honeymoon.  It can also double as a bridal emergency bag for the wedding day itself (or, if you have more than one bag, make up one for each).

Hair Accessories Travel Bag

Of course, you can always buy a bag, like this one from the SpoonSisters (it is really cute, and I'd be tempted if I didn't have several bags from sheet sets), but a free bag is always better than one you have to pay for.

If you are looking for a gift for a bride, you can always get a sheet set for her that has a bag, and suggest in the card that she reuse the bag for a wedding emergency kit or honeymoon toiletry bag.


Travel Nail Polish Remover

One of the things that you will want to include in your Bride emergency kit is nail polish remover-- and travel nail polish remover is the least likely to spill (spilled nail polish remover could cause a bigger emergency than your kit could deal with!) and the easiest to fit in your kit.  If your kit is also doubling as your honeymoon toiletry bag, so much the better.
