BATHROOM BASKET!!

i need your oppinions on this!! i see a lot of brides on here are doing bathroom baskets. i havent put too much thought into this, so i dunno wether i should put one together for my wedding?? is this a really popular thing to do and should i put one together for my wedding day? please help, i dunno much about this bathroom basket thing!!

Re: BATHROOM BASKET!!

I made one for a friends wedding and EVERYTHING was used! It was such a hit that her guests actually called her to thank her for supplying it!

I had a really cute poem in a picture frame to put next to the basket. I say do it! I got most of the stuff from the Dollar Tree!

Re: BATHROOM BASKET!!

Until I joined LIW I had no idea that these were supplied by the bride/groom!!! I always thought that they were supplied by the RH!!!!

I usually use the gum/mints and lotion or body spray!!!!

Doesn't WM supply them? Thanks!

Re: BATHROOM BASKET!!

I see you are getting married at Crest Hollow...first find out if you share the bathroom with another bride. I would hate for you to supply all that stuff and the other guests used it.

Re: BATHROOM BASKET!!

Do a lot of halls provide them? I just assumed I had to make one.

ETA - I called and my RH does not include them. I will be making them.

Re: BATHROOM BASKET!!

What would you put in it? I never thought about that. This website is going to have me spend a fortune! LOL

Re: BATHROOM BASKET!!

This was the poem:


So happy you're here to share in our day!
But should something happen to go astray,
Please help yourself to the contents within,
Wet wipe, hand lotion, and even aspirin,
Please use what you need and leave the rest,
It may also be useful to another guest,
So repair the damage that may have been done,
Then hurry on back and join in the fun!

With love,
Johnny and Suzie

Re: BATHROOM BASKET!!

IMHO: they were the BIGGEST WASTE of money in my entire wedding. None of my guests had ever seen anything like it and so they thought that it was something the RH put out. Our guests (my ILs included ) took the items out of the baskets to keep them (like you would take the toiletries in hotel bathrooms). This happened despite the fact that I typed up a nice sign that was clearly on each basket saying 'use only what you need, and courtesy of the NW'. more than $100 down the drain.

To each their own, but I wish that I never put them together and spent the money on them.

Re: BATHROOM BASKET!!

ohh i didn't even think of that, at crest hollow there will be 3 other weddings!! =[ so i hate to spend all that money and other brides and guests use them.. that is the only bummer about having a wedding there is that there will be 2 other weddings that day! =[

Re: BATHROOM BASKET!!

ALL MY FRIENDS PUT THE BASKETS IN THE BRIDAL SUITE AT CREST HOLLOW FOR THE BRIDAL PARTY. I WAS IN A WEDDING THIS PAST WEEKEND AT THE WATERMILL AND MY FRIEND PUT THEM IN THE BRIDAL SUITE. WE USED SOME STUFF... DON'T GO CRAZY

Re: BATHROOM BASKET!!

I made them for my wedding. Got almost everything at the dollar store. Some of the stuff was used, and a lot of the stuff was stolen, despite having a poem saying to use what you need and leave the rest for the other guests.

Re: BATHROOM BASKET!!

ohh doing a bathroom basket for the bridal suite is a really good idea! i think i like that idea better!

Re: BATHROOM BASKET!!

i started putting items together but completely ran out of time .. if u have time and u really want it, then go for it, but to us, it would not have made a difference, I don't think goodluck!

Re: BATHROOM BASKET!!

Get a bunch of sht from the dollar store but dont break the bank for a bathroom basket. Most people wont notice or care!
