Chris-

I don't think you need a bathroom basket at FH. They have a bathroom attendant who has all that stuff.

Jess what is a cake bag?

it's a bag that holds cakes/pastries. it's basically a wax paper bag, but I am going to use them for my favors I think (and put a pastry in them)

I wasn't sure about that. Thanks for clarifying. I still want to have them though, b/c I'm sure I can think of a few things that they won't provide.
