How to Elevate Your Wedding: The Magic of Wedding Bathroom Baskets

Having spent more than a decade as a wedding planner in Alaska, there’s one detail that never loses its charm for me – the wedding bathroom baskets. These little enhancements add a thoughtful touch for your wedding guests, making their experience even more enjoyable. What’s more, they’re incredibly easy to assemble, and they become a lifesaver when your wedding venue is nestled in a remote location, where the nearest grocery store might be a 20- or 30-minute drive away – a common scenario in Alaska.

One of the most memorable examples that comes to mind is from Ragen and Cole’s wedding back in April. They opted for adorable little tubs and went above and beyond by creating a “his” and “her” basket, showcasing their attention to detail and care for their guests.

If you’re considering adding this thoughtful touch to your wedding, here are some ideas for items to include in your wedding bathroom basket:

• Aspirin: For those unexpected headaches.
• Band-Aids: Just in case of minor mishaps.
• Deodorant (Spray): A quick refresh for those dance-floor moments.
• Floss Picks: Because no one wants spinach in their teeth during photos.
• Hairspray: To keep those locks looking fabulous.
• Hair Ties: For when the dance party gets wild.
• Lint Roller: For a last-minute touch-up.
• Mints/Gum: To keep those breaths minty and fresh.
• Nail Files: For any wardrobe malfunctions.
• Pepto Bismol: In case of an upset stomach.
• Safety Pins: The unsung heroes of wardrobe emergencies.
• Hand Sanitizer: Always handy for a quick cleanse.
• Tampons/Pads: A thoughtful inclusion for guests in need.
• Tissue: For those emotional moments (happy tears are inevitable!).
• Tide Pen/Shout Wipes: To tackle unexpected stains.

The list could go on and on, but let’s stop here. With these essentials on hand, your guests will truly appreciate your consideration. Simply add a sign, and your wedding bathroom basket is ready to make your celebration even more special. It’s the little things that make a big difference on your special day!
