• Superglue

Stay dressy

• Lint roller – For the groom, of course.
• Handheld steamer
• Sewing kit

Primp

• Tweezers
• Mirror

It’s not a bad idea to keep some blood sugar boosters around as well: think granola bars and trail mixes. Make sure you have extra water on hand and are staying hydrated throughout the day to avoid fatigue.
