courtesy baskets

I don’t know what it is about those little courtesy baskets couples leave in the bathrooms at weddings, but I love them! It’s so fun rummaging through them to check out all the miscellaneous odds and ends, and usually, they’re displayed in such a pretty way.

Every bride wants their wedding to be “unique,” which is a tricky feat given the endless ideas that are out there. But I say the way to separate your special day from the pack: it’s all about the details.

Bathroom courtesy baskets add a special extra touch to your decor – filled with helpful toiletries and arranged in a pretty container, they make guests feel pampered and appreciated. You can place a basket in both the mens’ and womens’ bathrooms with gender-appropriate products. Include mints, gum, band-aids, Tylenol, Tums, tissues, Q-tips, deodorant, stain remover (like a stain stick), and even a lint brush in both. Give the ladies a few personal hygiene products (just in case) along with small bottles of perfume or body spray and lotion. You can even have personalized lip balms or hand cream made with labels that include the date – a really adorable touch.

Arrange the items in a basket or pail, and be sure to leave a note to invite guests to help themselves. You’ll be sure your family and friends will take notice of this extra little detail.
