SDCC starts in a week (cue panic), and con prep is in full swing.
No matter how many cons I’ve gone to, I live and die by packing lists and checklists. We’ve written our fair share of convention survival guides and have scoured the internet for the best of con prep advice.
Here are 10 of our favorite resources in one easy place (feel free to bookmark this for future cons, too!):
1. Deciding what to wear can be one of the most challenging steps of packing for any con. Melificent shows us all how to put together geeky outfits that are cute and comfy and perfect for non-cosplay days.
2. For our cosplaying friends, Mallory from Malaray of Sunshine created the cosplay survival guide you need.
3. Sometimes you just need a little con kit, and sometimes you need an entire convention bag. Anomaly Podcast has created the convention bag checklist of your dreams.
4. And here’s a checklist for that little DIY con kit we talked about.
5. And another one (courtesy of Dorkly) for good measure.
6. Don’t forget your beauty essentials!
7. And because everyone has different needs, here’s another beauty checklist for you.
8. SpeculativeChic has created one of the most well-rounded convention prep guides we’ve found. For con prep, con crud, and con drop.
9. Speaking of post-con, here’s our post convention skincare routine (which you can start on the last day of con in your hotel room).
10. And for your travel home . . . a Post Convention Playlist from Jordandené.
BONUS: If you’re a comic con newbie, listen to our convention survival podcast episode with Rachel Parker!
