Ladies Room basket?

adrienne0925

Hi there! So who is doing one of these and what do you put in it?  So far I can think of:

Hairspray
Bobby Pins
Tissues
Safety Pins
Deodorant
Bandaids
Combs
Tylenol or Advil
Tampons/Pads

Any additions?

tissue

q-tips

ibuprofen

hair spray

deodorant

altoids

tums

brush/mirror combo

wisp mini toothbrush

2 tampons/panty liner

hair tie

lotion

chapstick

lint brush

bandaids

That does help, THANK YOU!

Thanks for asking this because I need to put together a ladies room basket too! Are you putting anything in the mens room?

Do we have to put together ladies room baskets? I've never used any of this stuff at a wedding before, so I don't really want to bother with it if no one is even going to use it, or notice if we don't have one.

<div>I'm just going to bring cute soap from Bath & Body Works and put out some mints, bobby pins and hairspray. Those are the only things I would usually use so honestly I don't really want to spend the time on doing on a whole huge thing.</div>

I asked this on another board before - I thought I was doing something wrong by not having anything in the restrooms. But everyone said no, they aren't necessary, just a nice gesture. I don't want to spend a bunch of money either if most of it will get left there and not used. Plus having to buy two more basets!! So I'm not doing it.

I'm not going to have Ladies room baskets.  I have never been to a wedding that has one of these.  I also don't think I would use anything that was left out. It might be cute to make individual ones for bridesmaids but I think it would just be a waste of money to leave in the ladies room.

I am not having a ladies room basket. Its not something that is common here. Plus my wedding is taking place where another room at the venue uses the same bathroom, so there will be a lot of people in and out all night.

I like the bath & body works soap idea, though! I'll be doing that!

<div>That's a great idea. I'm not a big lotion/soap person, so I have some gifts I've received over the last few months that I'd be glad to put to good use!</div>

southerncharm24

Im doing one, only because i love the idea. It was expensive. I did one for the mens room too.
I put in:
listerene
q-tips
bobby pins
hand sanatizer
static cling spray
wrinkle release spray
lotion
wet wipes
tide pen
tums
bandaids
advil
contact lens solution
gold bond
hair spray
chapsticks
tissues
gum
tampons
panty liners
pads
"cleansing wipes"
Febreeze
Manicure sets

Thats all I can think of!

These are all things that I will use if people don't use it. So it was just an investment for the future. A lot of items i did in travel sizes rather than full size.

Yeah, I've only been to one wedding where they had this, and while it was a nice gesture I didn't use anything out of it. I don't think we'll be doing one unless I'm just incredibly bored right before the wedding. ;-)
