You know those handy dandy baskets of goodies in the bathroom at the last wedding you went to? The bride, family members, or friends took the time to put that together to add an extra special touch to the big day for the wedding guests! Yes, it is optional and not something you HAVE to take the time to offer, but I wanted to do one for each bathroom for guests.
Here is what went in my wedding – women’s restroom basket (for other wedding planning bride-to-be’s):
What you need:
- Basket – (mine was from Christmas Tree Shop called the stacked storage basket by Nantucket distributing ) Rope basket, plastic baskets, handcrafted basket, or even a clear toiletry box would all work well!
- Sign – A few options here, here, and here!
- Ribbon
- Tissue paper
- Tape
Whats in it / shopping list:
- tampons
- pads
- mouth wash
- small cups (for mouth wash)
- hair spray
- bobby pins
- brush
- elastics
- first aid kit
- sewing kit
- tums
- aspirin
- q-tips
- tide stain stick/pen
- chapstick
- lotion
- body spray / perfume
- nail file
- gold bond powder
- deodorant
- teeth flossers
I went to the dollar store, Christmas Tree Shop, and CVS and stocked up on all these goodies for my guests. I used the ribbon and tape to display the sign propped up around the basket and put tissue on the bottom to cushion all the products.
We got lots of compliments and I even had a moment to use the hairspray, file, and a few other items. And the leftovers came home with us at the end of the night!
Happy wedding planning!

This is awesomely brilliant and mega mega thoughtful! But I’d expect no less from someone as hip and as on the ball as you.
Just my two cents, but a few condoms would really make the basket totally complete. You know that way you’d be totally prepared – and maybe one of those mini travel size KY jelly would also be helpful. They sell the mini travel KY at the Christmas Tree Shop and I always travel with one.
My motto is never leave home without a small tube.
Ha yea that could work – gotta know your audience – our crowd is mostly married with kids.
Lortissima must run in a different circle.
Michelle I love your answer.
It’s so true about understanding your audience, although an emergency condom comes in handy if you’re been drinking.
Open bar can lead to lots of things ha 🙂
Yup my dear….alcohol makes more things loose than just lips
