A Tisket, A Tasket, Our Bathroom Baskets

I put together two bathroom baskets, one for the women and one for the men, full of items that you just might need during the night. I mean, how many times wouldn't you have paid good money for a hair tie when you needed one?

Here is what we had in each:

Men's Basket:



  • gum
  • Shout wipes
  • Axe body spray
  • Scope
  • Wisp disposable tooth brushes
  • dental floss
  • shoe polish
  • cough drops
  • Tylenol
  • Tums
  • deodorant
  • bandaids
  • contact solution
  • hair gel
  • hair spray
  • hand lotion
  • combs
  • lint roller

Women's Basket:


  • panty liners
  • Shout wipes
  • Q tips
  • Tums
  • Tylenol
  • deoderant
  • bandaids
  • tampons
  • Wisp disposable tooth brushes
  • dental floss
  • Scope
  • gum
  • cough drops
  • contact solution
  • hair spray
  • hand lotion
  • nail file
  • hair ties
  • bobby pins

Not only are the baskets useful, but I also got to add a cute little poem:

It reads:

Whether your skin feels dry
or your hair out of place.

You're not feeling so fresh
or whatever the case.

We've put together a basket
to help you along,

Now hurry back out
before you miss the next song!

Looking at the contents of the baskets the day after the wedding, most of the items in the women's basket was still in the basket. The men's, however, was almost empty! Either the items got a lot of use or we had a lot of men with sticky fingers!

I really really wanted to do these for our wedding, but i realized that because we're having a brunch wedding it doesn't seem like they'd get much use. I'm still going to have a couple of bottles of water and some nice hand towels in there. The venue is open to the public so the bathrooms are not that nice. and by "not that nice" i mean they look like the bathroom at the bus stop. They don't even have mirrors... so we're going to prop some up behind the sinks so at least people will be able to see if they're a hot mess before they come back out to have some pancakes. don't get me wrong though, the venue itself is amazing. the bathrooms just suck!
