Bride survival kit - help me source...

8 replies

I’m a bridesmaid planning a hen do for my lovely bride friend and as a prize for one of the challenges we want to put together a little ‘brides survival’ tin like the one in the pic below.

However I’m really struggling to find a plain lunchbox/suitcase tin like the one in the picture below. Happy for it just to be in silver. Does anyone know where I could source a cheap one? (Doesn’t need to be personalised or anything - we’ll decorate). Also any good ideas of what to put in are welcome!

Safety pins and a small sewing kit. I did this for my best friends wedding and one of the others bridesmaids dress split literally 20 mins before walking down the aisle.

Also other good things to include : nail glue, eyelash glue , spare hair grips. A little hairspray and a small deodrant.

I just kept it in a little cosmetics bag and kept it with me, not her. I told her I had it for emergencies!

Good luck, I hope the wedding goes well.

Google for aluminium protective cases for cameras

You'll get lots of hits like this

Various sizes available, quite useful afterwards (obviously much stronger than a lunchbox, various price points)

Or searching for army/ soldier lunch tins gives a few options too....

Paperchase?

Got something similar for my friend at The Works.

Thanks all for your suggestions - I’ve managed to track a few options down now. Thanks also for the ideas of what to pop in there - @Snowflake9 good to know they do genuinely come in handy sometimes!

Pliers. I needed some to get the ribbon through my lacing, and when a bridesmaid’s zip got stuck!

Any old metal biscuit tin and a can of silver spray paint ?
