This kit that I made had things that I found useful on my wedding day. Gear your kit to your bride. My bride-to-be was someone who enjoyed coffee, if yours doesnt, try those single serve Crystal Lite packs. Doesnt eat chocolate? Try package of peanuts. Choose a sanitizer and lotion scent that your bride-to-be enjoys. If she's a smoker, maybe spend a little extra and throw in a lighter and pack of her brand. Or, if shes a smoker, add an inexpensive purse body spray.
I used old pill bottles (washed out, of course!) for things that I already had and just split up: bobby pins, tums, ponytail holders
