DIY Wedding

Bathroom Baskets

Cute!! I really want to add some bath and body works coconut or tropical spray to my bathroom baskets.. that's a really cute idea!

I really like your baskets:)  Great job!

I think its a great Idea, actually when I go to a wedding I always pray that they have something like this at it. I find im always getting caught with the something in my teeth or flat hair! :) good job.

Hey there, your baskets looks absolutely LOVELY and I know your guests are going to love them - especially with all the B & B products in there!!!!!!!!

I just thought i'd make a suggestion as I am always compelled to do when I see brides post bathroom baskets -  I always make a suggestion of including a cute little sign that goes something like this ...

So happy you’re here to share in our special day!!!
But should something happen to go astray,
Please help yourself to the contents within,
Hair spray (or Wet wipe), hand lotion, gum and even aspirin,
Use only what you need and leave the rest,
It may be useful to another guest.
So repair the damage that may have been done,
Then hurry on back and join the fun!!!

The reason I suggest it is because from personal experience at my own wedding I wish I would have had a sign like this framed or something - I would have NEVER in my wildest dreams thought it would happen, but a few guests {my husbands friends girlfriends} were caught stuffing their purses full of all the items. No one said anything to them because it is an awkward situation all around.  I  can truly say that I don't think it was completely intentional, i know these girls not to be thief's but more thrifty, so I am led to believe that they thought it was complimentary items provided by our reception hall. It had some awesome stuff in it - particularly B & B products. It was a shame because my baskets were empty before dinner even started so most of my guests did not even get to see it or make use of anything in it. Had there been a sign, I really think it would have made a difference.

Sorry for the long winded message ;) I just want to be of use from experience. But either way ... they are super pretty ... you did a great job on them!

I just wrote the longest comment ever and it all got deleted so here we go again ... fingers and tossed crossed that it works this time! I think it went something like this ....

Your baskets are absolutely AWESOME ... you did a wonderful job on them! Your guests will really appreciate them  - especially with the B & B products in them!

From personal experience at my own wedding, I always feel compelled to offer my advice when I see brides posting about their beautiful bathroom baskets. I always suggest printing out a cute little sign and framing it with a poem similar to this one below {just an example} ...

The only reason I suggest this is because I had a beautiful bathroom basket of my own filled with so many awesome things {including B & B products} and it was all taken. Yup, you heard me correct - it was very sad! A bridesmaid of mine came up to me and said she was in the bathroom stall and between the crack in the door could see two girls stuffing their purses with most of the items. She didn't say anything because it would make for quite the awkward situation. When I asked her to point out the girls she pointed to my husbands friends girlfriends. Now I don't know these girls very very well, but what I do know of them is that they aren't really thief's, in fact they pretty straight girls. The best way to describe them is thrifty and nerdy rather, so I was simply led to believe that they just assumed that our reception site had provided them with complimentary items.

I think would I have had a sign saying like the one above ... they would have used anything they needed and left the rest for the other guests. it was such a shame because the basket was empty before dinner started so most guests probably didn't even get to see what was in them or make use.

So yes, just a little suggestion that you may like to consider. Either way, wether you choose to or not, these baskets are totally great - good job on them ;)

Oh my sorry for all the comments .... ughhh .... it told me there was an error and when I checked it showed none, so I reposted and none you have a bazillion and by that I mean 3 lol SORRY ;)

Thanks Aimee - that's honestly SUCH A GREAT IDEA! I cute sign in a little frame is such an awesome suggestion. I had never even considered that people would take some of the stuff! HA
