    Wedding Sporran Advice

    ok so my wedding is now only 17 days away! and i was looking for advice on sporrans... not not advice on which type of sporran to wear or proper height, but rather what to have inside of it! so im looking for advice from past kilted grooms, groomsmen, and other wedding guest of what key things should (or shouldn't!) be inside the sporran for this special occasion. normally i just keep my cell phone, wallet and keys inside. but have you ever been to a wedding and just wished you had _________ with you?

    and in case you were wondering this is the sporran i'll be wearing

    I don't think I can bring myself to write what immediately came to mind.

    SR,
    Tissue or some such for your self or your bride, some of hairpins held with a hair tie and half a dozen safety pins and a lighter or matches.If a lighter wrap some tape around it in 3 or 4 inch
    legnths.Let a groomsman hold the flask and keep him close and have your bestman with a small pair of scissors or small Swiss Army knife,some double sided or garment tape,and super glue(new and unopend to prevent leaks).Tell the moms,dads and the maid of honor what you carry.
    Also ask the mother of the bride or groom to take a small sewing kit with thread that matches(or near enough) everyone's dresses,jackets,shirts.At my resort I have a Wedding emergency kit that has saved the day a number of times(in april we rebuilt a stepped on tiara at t-5min) but that
    should cover a whole bunch of last minute wardrobe or accessory mishap and on the spot reception repair.
    That's my 2p
    Best of luck

    Car keys and wallet. Those are necessary. Flask - good option. I agree with brewerpaul = ditch the phone. There is enough going on w/o adding that distraction.
