As a veteran wedding planner, I've had the opportunity to orchestrate countless celebrations. It’s the little details that make an impact on the overall experience for guests. One often-overlooked yet is a sometimes invaluable addition of a bathroom basket.

I was at Target yesterday ( I mean who wasn’t?!?! ) and I overheard a bride-to-be chatting with her mom about whether or not to have a bathroom basket at their upcoming wedding this fall…I chimed in.

We are PRO bathroom baskets… here’s why!

Anticipating Guests' Needs - Wedding days are long and guests may find themselves in need of personal care items they didn't anticipate. From hair spray and breath mints to pain relievers and feminine hygiene products, a well-stocked bathroom basket ensures that guests can address unexpected needs without missing a beat. Anticipating these needs demonstrates your commitment to creating a seamless and enjoyable celebration.
Maintaining a Polished Atmosphere - the venue boasts stunning décor and carefully chosen elements that contribute to the ambiance. To maintain a polished atmosphere, it's essential to extend your attention to detail to every aspect of the celebration, including the restrooms.

Here is a list of some of the essentials we recommend in a well stocked bathroom basket:

Antacids
Baby wipes
Bandages
Cotton swabs
Cough drops
Eye drops
Pain reliever
Feminine products
Tissues
Breath mints / gum
Floss picks
Mouthwash
Blotting sheets
Deodorant
Hair elastics / bobby pins
Hairspray
Lotion
Makeup remover wipes
Nail glue
Fashion tape
Lint roller
Sewing kit
Stain remover pen
Static spray

Now source a pretty basket, bucket or really any kind or container & some cute signage and you are all set! Now obviously the baskets for the men’s and woman’s restrooms won’t contain the same items so shop accordingly.

In the grand scheme of planning, bathroom baskets may seem like a small detail, but their impact on the overall experience is undeniable. By anticipating and meeting the needs of your guests, you not only enhance their comfort but also contribute to the creation of lasting memories that go beyond the vows and celebrations. Elevate your wedding day by paying attention to the details that make a world of difference—your guests will thank you for it.
