Give your guests a little something extra with a well-thought-out & special wedding bathroom basket.

The weddings we remember are the ones happy couples put some thought into. Those considered little details that show care has been given. And while a wedding bathroom basket may be small, it's such a thoughtful touch to offer your guests, and one they'll certainly appreciate.

A good wedding bathroom basket should be filled with everything your guests might need, want, or have forgotten to bring to your celebrations. From plasters and painkillers to hairspray and breath mints. It's these kinds of small items that can help to give your loved ones that feeling of being looked after, while also giving them confidence all night long.

We believe wedding bathroom baskets are a real life-saver and a crucial detail to include in wedding planning. A task that shouldn’t be overlooked.

When putting together the perfect wedding bathroom basket, it’s best to think about everything that could go wrong. Be it an allergic reaction, ripped tights or a surprise visit from Auntie flow… Prepare for the worst, and you'll guarantee guests have the best time.

As the wedding organisers, you should make sure you have enough supplies to go around all of your guests, within reason. Make sure to assign someone to keep an eye on the basket/s throughout the night, and restock them if necessary. You may also want to add a little sign that lets your guests know items within the wedding basket are complimentary.

You could even consider putting together an 'end of the night basket' as take-home gifts for your guests. Things that will help them relax and unwind after the festivities such as make-up remover wipes, tissues, hotel style flip-flops and sleeping masks. Little gestures they'll surely appreciate.

In general, don't over do it – avoid creating unnecessary waste, and make sure you take all the leftovers back to your house after the reception. And possibly divide up the haul between family and friends.

What kind of Wedding Bathroom Basket should I buy?

You can use any type of basket, but it should match the look and feel of your big day. You could even personalize the basket with you and your partner’s last name and use it as decoration in your home after the wedding. Make your bathroom basket a part of your wedding day decor by the flowers you've used throughout. Or by incorporating the details from your reception tables.

We would suggest choosing a basket that can be easily disinfected, i.e., stainless steel or plastic. These types of materials may not offer the most decorative or luxurious of looks. But it’s good to have a clean basket that you feel comfortable with multiple people touching.
