Wedding Bathroom Baskets

I think thats a great idea. It depends what sort of budget you've got for them, but i'd definitely recommend putting hair grips and safety pins in the girls ones for all the little hair and outfit mishaps. A small body spray can would probably go down well as well.

Great idea - I'd include a mini sewing kit for any outfit mishaps, and some plasters in case people are suffering with their shoes! Maybe also a box of nice tissues and some hand moisturiser, and some mints in a dish?

Some good ideas already, I would also think about a couple of cheap pairs of tights or some clear nail varnish for reparing ladders in tights, some tampons/towels, feminine wipes....erm..I'll keep thinking.

What about some Party Feet gel cushions?

Tooth picks! Nutella and I brought some from eBay, individually wrapped for £2.75!

I just found this massive list and cute poems...... hmm what would be most usefull? I'm not spending a fortune on them but I know what its like wearing new shoes that give you blisters and having such a small bag that you cant get anything in.

Bathroom baskets:
Breath mints and gum
Plasters
Antacids like Tums
Safety pins
Paracetamol - NOT IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN ATTENDING
Pocket-packs of tissues
Stain-remover wipes
Deodorant in aerosol can
Contact lens solution / Eye refresher spray
Facial wipes

Nail files/ Emery boards
Small sewing kit (with scissors)
Lint brush
Hand lotion
Combs

Tooth picks

Additionally, in the ladies' basket:
Hair spray
Hair grips
Hair bands
Tampons
Body spray
Facial blotting paper


Poem #1
Here is a basket for all of our guests,
To make sure everyone feels their best!
The hairspray will help hold your hair in place,
The bobby pins to keep your hair out of your face.
If you break a nail, don’t worry! There’s a file and some glue,
It can also fix a broken heel on a shoe!
The polish will stop that darn run in your hose,
Use the tissues to stop a runny nose!
We hope that you’ll find what you’re looking for.
Take a mint and now go hit the dance floor!

Poem #2
So happy you’re here to share in our special day!!!
But should something happen to go astray,
Please help yourself to the contents within,
Hair spray (or Wet wipe), hand lotion, gum and even aspirin,
Use only what you need and leave the rest,
It may be useful to another guest.
So repair the damage that may have been done,
Then hurry on back and join the fun!!!
Compliments of the Newlyweds

Poem #3
Compliments of the newlyweds,
To help you feel your best!
Just use a little...freshen up,
And leave for other guests!

Poem #4
If your skin feels dry, your hair out of place,
Your throat is parched, or whatever the case.
We've put this together to help you along,
Now get yourself out there before the next song

Ohh fantastic, loving the list!!

Thanks B,

I'm thinking most of this stuff I can get in the pound shop or just buy a bit each with with my weekly shop.

Googling for lists and this popped up! (Google works better than Hitched's own search!) Thought I would bump for others, is anyone else thinking of doing this?

I was thinking of doing this, but have had quite mixed reports, so it's kind of gone to bottom of my list, and will probably be a case of if I have time to sort it, I will. I had planned on maybe putting spray deodorant, body spray and mouth wash in the mens, and maybe same for ladies plus plasters? Only keeping it simple.

I bought some bits today from Home Bargain - cheap and cheerful

I did a small basket for the ladies. Hand cream, hairspray, combs, nail files, lint roller, spare tights, mints. All things I got from home bargains or Poundland. To be honest they didn't got used much but I got nice comments about them. I wouldn't spend much time or money on them but they were nice to have. X

I really love this idea! The poems are so cute too, such a good idea to be able to explain it to everyone!

I think it is definitely something that can be done for a relatively cheap cost too I am thinking to use the boxes from my Glossybox subscription as the baskets - I will just glam them up a bit first. I can't wait to start being able to sort all the fun little bits like this out!

Er--------------Dont forget the boys !

We'll be putting one in the gents too, not 100% sure what to put in that one though. Girls are much easier!
