Wedding First Aid Kit

First-aid kit idea + printables for including in wedding welcome bags

There is nothing worse than spilling a drink on your cocktail attire, getting a blister from dancing the night away, or having the strap of your dress break. Give your guests a first aid kit to save the day!

After all, a marriage celebration is 'in sickness and in health.' Creating this first aid kit tag takes a few extra steps.

Stick your label on a piece of white cardstock paper. And very carefully cut around the edges of the tag. Create a hole at the top of your tag using a hole puncher. Then, use a piece of string to attach the tag to your first aid bag.
