What are the little 'must have' extras you are doing?

Even if people think they are impractical?

I am doing bathroom baskets, menus, and possibly petal cones. I didn't realize how much I liked the idea of bathroom baskets and I went to a wedding where I was desperately wishing they had one (tampons, hairspray). They also didn't do menus, which I like to see also.

I would love to have a VH - we'll see how we'll manage the budget until menu picking time comes
bathroom baskets are for the guests like it has floss tums pads etc.slipper baskets are for when the guest feet get tired

oh, thanks!
had no idea ppl actually do that

I never heard about them until I joined LIW, but I know that if I went to a wedding and saw one, I'd be so thankful!!!

Re: What are the little 'must have' extras you are doing?

Wow you ladies have such great ideas!

I didn't include RH extras, but I was just talking to my FSIL and I think I am convinced to add on the sundae bar and Viennese platters...Unless I can negotiate the price for a full Viennese, I just don't know if I want to pay the DJ overtime

Those water bottles are

Re: What are the little 'must have' extras you are doing?

I feel like I have tons

Flip-Flop Basket
Bubbles w/ Basket
Bathroom Basket
OOT Baskets
Candy Bar
Sax Player
DIY Asile Runner

I'm going a little overboard on favors.. aside from hand painted wine glasses, the seating card holders are also handmade wire vases and will each contain a real flower...

I know there will be more..

Re: What are the little 'must have' extras you are doing?

Menu cards, programs, OOT gift baskets, I am considering a slipper basket.... and I guess I should find out if my hall provides a bathroom basket, if not I'll do one those.

Re: What are the little 'must have' extras you are doing?

Hmmm I'm doing bathroom baskets, extra hour ALMOST DEF- we're going to review the funds right before we order invites, but at this point, fh & I both think it would be really worth it. poss/prob personalized napkins, grooms cake, OOT packages, and most likely a photo montage.
