I like the idea of bathroom baskets, I think they're a nice touch and they show that you've really thought about your guests.  But for those of you who are already married, did anyone actually use what you put in them?  I'd hate to add another project to my list and find out that they were a waste in the end.

Thanks!  :)

They used some of the stuff.  I thought it was a nice touch regardless.  I have read posts here that have gone both ways - where the basket was totally emptied, and where nothing was touched.  I think ultimately, if you want to do it, do it.  Ours probably cost us a total of about $90 which was more than I thought it would be, for both of them.  And now we have all the leftover stuff in our bathroom or our parents'.  I was glad I had that stuff out, that was one of the little details I was hoping would make my guests feel appreciated.

Yeah, I think I'm just going to do them because they're an easy project and a nice touch.  And I agree, jmc, the people who will use things probably really need them.  :)

I also have this post by Mrs. Beagle bookmarked for others who want more information: http://www.weddingbee.com/2009/12/18/last-minute-project-bathroom-baskets/#more-122494.

I think I'm going to do them just because even if there's only a couple people who are saved by these things, it will make their whole night a lot more fun!

Of all the weddings I've been to, none of them had a bathroom basket...but there were times I wished they did!

If you are going with a very limited bathroom basket, safety pins should be on your list. It took us over a half hour to locate enough safety pins (by asking ladies who carried big purses!) to find enough safety pins to "fix" a bridesmaid dress that tore right up the back seam while on the dance floor! It would have been much easier if there was a bathroom basket!

At another wedding, 2 different people locked their keys in their car - its not really a bathroom item, but it's a good idea to have a wire coat hanger around/ or atleast the number to the nearest locksmith~

I also think it's helpful to have some kind of headache medicine and some kind of indigestion medicine - both likely to happen to someone between wedding day stress, catered food, drinks, dancing & loud music :)

Good idea to buy dollar store/generics, but you could also just buy the brands you prefer - that way if there's any left over, you can just use everything in your home after the wedding!

None of our weddings had them. But I also never go out without some bobby pins, a couple safety pins and some Immodium in my purse! haha

I'm excited for ours. I love to be prepared. haha I'm that girl who usually has most of that stuff in my purse anyway.

Wow u ladies are spending a LOT of $$$ on these baskets.. I am planning on spending a maximum of $25 for both.. ((BUT IM CHEAP)) lmao
