What to put in reception restroom baskets?

[StephSFL]

This probably sounds like a very strange question, but I have decided to make my own necessities baskets for the restrooms at the reception (one for them men and one for the ladies).
From your experiences (wedding,s black tie events, the PROM), what would you suggest I put in them?

how about lotions, maybe some kind of special towelettes, trial size colognes and perfumes... I went to a prom that did this.

I attended a wedding that did this. The bride also had a cute little poem in the basket that basically said not to steal anything so everyone could use it. I can't remember the exact wording...

The basket contained:
Feminine products
Blotting papers
Lotion (three or four different kinds: scented, unscented, extra-moisture, etc)
Aerosol deodorant and a few travel size deodorants
Sunscreen
Small packets of Blistex (little foil packs with just enough for one or two applications -- these were meant to be used and thrown out, obviously, and not shared)
Breath mints and gum
Tissues
Individual eye drops
Contact solution
Hairspray
Bobby pins
Perfume -- several different types (this bride had Chanel No 5, Dior Poison, Clinique Happy, Buglari, Michael Kors, etc lots of high end stuff and probably the reason for the "no stealing" poem!)
Safety pins
Small sewing kit
Nail files
Clear nail polish (for runs in stockings?)
Shout wipes
Band-aids and antibacterial ointment


There was probably some other stuff-- it was very well stocked but very tastefully done. I didn't see the men's baskets but I would bet they were very similar (minus the feminine stuff and substituting cologne for perfume!)

Hope that helps!

That sounds really neat! Steph, are you renting the 3rd floor to use those bathrooms as well, or just the regular bathrooms outside?

 

[StephSFL]

DVCGirls49- we are renting the third floor which I hope will work out ok!

Auroraborealis- thank you so much for the list. I would never have though of half that stuff!

Princessdisneybelle- thanks! Should I use scented loctions or do nonscented?

 

[StephSFL]

Thank you all so much for the help! Went shopping today and got all the stuff!

 

[DVCGirl49]

Excellent! Let us know how it works out!

I am not sure how to answer this question, maybe someone else can, but I would contact your WP.

I was just thinking. Asking your Avon rep if you have one for samples would work good in these too. Then you could just let people have them.
