My bridesmaids are a very nosy bunch, so first things first:
UNICORN BRIDESMAIDS, read no further unless you wish to meet the same, sad fate as this poor, skewered bunny!

Are they gone?
Good!
DISCLAIMER: No bunnies were harmed in the making of this gory graphic.
I’ll start off with a little backstory. You may recall that I met most of my bridesmaids in college, with the exception of Bridesmaid S, whom I met in high school, and Bridesmaid M (aka Future-Sister-In-Law). Although it’s difficult to keep in touch with them sometimes, we always pick right back up where we left off. Many of these special ladies are going out of their way to come to our wedding. Bridesmaid A is even flying in from New York! I feel super loved given that they’re putting so much effort into being there for me on my wedding day.
Without further ado, I give you…
…the “Oh Shit Kit!”

| Personal photo. |
This handy little tote bag has been painted with each bridesmaid’s first initial, and that little white flower you see on the strap is actually a hair clip for them to use at the wedding.
Each kit contains:
 |
| Personal photo. |
-one lighter (because one of my biggest fears is that I will forget to bring a lighter for the centerpieces).
-one pack of mints
-one mini bottle of “Kinky Liqueur”
-one mini lint roller (because I have a grey and white dog that sheds grey and white hairs all over any dark clothing)
-two glow sticks (for the bachelorette party!!)
-two bubble rings (also for the bachelorette party!!)
-band-aids (for uncomfortable shoes and/or injuries sustained during the bachelorette party!!)
-make-up remover (to keep raccoon eyes at bay)
-a Wedding Timeline
-diagrams of the processional and recessional
-tissues
-little compact mirrors with built-in hairbrushes
-a thank-you note
-a meaningful charm and/or small gift
I really can’t spoil my ladies enough! I think I’ll probably throw in a gift card to a coffee shop or spa or something, too.
What do you think, hive? Is there anything else I should add to the “Oh Shit!” Kits? What did you give your bridesmaids, if anything?
those little wisp toothbrush thingies (spelling*) nail fail maybe some nice monogram towles personalised hangers for the hanging of the dress pic
That image is hilarious! And I think your bags a re very cute! Maybe add some bobby pins? And an emergency toothbrush and paste. Oh, and safety pins too. OK, I’m done.
Poor bunny! ha ha I’m cracking up over your graphic. Super cute bags!
I’m laughing so hard and feeling bad about it, but the graphic’s so fun!
Great ideas, ya’ll!
Once again, all credit for the mangled bunny graphic goes to the fantastic Mr. Unicorn.
The hair flowers I found at H & M.
Omg poor bunny. Besides that poor, poor bunny, I think those gifts are perfect!
The bags are great. It seems random.. but I agree with the toothbrush and/or floss. All 4 of us girls had issues and needed floss but couldn’t find any.
Bahahaha, love everything in this post. I think a little added gift card for coffee would be a great final touch!
I absolutely love the graphic, great job Mr. Unicorn! Also, you can never go wrong adding snacks 
Seconding @reggeatonqueen on the wisps toothbrush things! They also had those ones that went over your fingers a few years ago (no clue what they’re called) but they were GREAT. And bobby pins! Safety pins too? And maybe a hair tie or two, in case they wear their hair down and get too hot while they’re doing all of their dancing
Who knew a bunny skewered by a unicorn could looks so adorable?
I love you Oh Shit Kit! Such a cute, catchy name — I may just steal it! :p
Hee, I love your graphic! I’m with Pony, I think some kind of snack would be a great addition — everyone seems to forget to eat when they’re in a wedding!
The graphic is absolutely adorable and I love Mr. Unicorn’s comment about it: obviously we don’t need to feel bad about the bunny’s skewering now 
Also, I absolutely LOVE “oh shit” kits as wedding party gifts–it’s what I’m definitely giving my girls, too!
for the groomsmen’s oh shit kits… we’ll give them bags of dead rabbits 
Thanks for all the feedback!!! I immediately rushed out to buy wispy toothbrush things, bobby pins, and floss. I still have to get some snack food like granola bars and such.
Love the “oh shit!” kit… I can’t think of anything extra to add, I just have to say that the unicorn graphic reminds of happy tree friends. PLEASE tell me you’ve seen those before!
OMG. I did NOT know about happy tree friends…until now. Thank you, Coyote, for enriching my life. =D
Omg, your OH Shit! Kit is an inspiration! I was having trouble thinking of what to put in my girls totes. I love the idea of getting stuff for the bachelorette party! What are bubble rings? Like light up rings ?
Mrs. Unicorn, Atlanta, Georgia Age and Occupation: 22, Retail Sales Consultant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 22, Graphic Designer Engagement Date: November 27, 2011 Wedding Date: September 2012 Venue: The Farm About Me: I’m an impatient, impulsive person with a creative side and a flair for the dramatic. I’m very much a DIY sort of girl, and I have the messy craft table to prove it. I worked at a veterinary clinic for the better part of seven years before diving headfirst into the totally different world of sales. I must say, the change has been one for the better; I no longer have clients that bite or scratch, nor does my workplace smell of kitty litter. My true passion, however, is aerial acrobatics and dance, and I hope to open my own studio one day. Mr. Unicorn doesn’t bat an eye when he comes home from work to find his fiancée hanging upside down from a pole. Together, we enjoy shooting things (with a camera), playing Xbox games (my strategy consists primarily of button-mashing), and enjoying the company of our spoiled pit bull named Leeloo. We are planning a fall wedding with lots of DIY details and a rustic-chic vibe. Our budget is tight, but we know we can work around it to plan the wedding we want.
