You know what we're talking about... that's the basket full of "grooming" goodies in the Ladies room at a wedding. Often overlooked, we are totally pro this little basket, and here's why!
Planning a wedding is a very strenuous and time consuming task, but let's face it -- most of that energy is really being channeled towards what YOU, the bride wants.... Nobody chooses their floral bouquet based on what other people may like (well at least they shouldn't :).... You're tasting the food and choosing what tickles your pallet the best way, you're outfitting yourself in the most flattering and beautiful dress for you... etc. etc.
And all this time your guests will be scanning registries in search of the most befitting gift for you, taking time to send off your RSVP, shopping (in their closet or in the mall) for an outfit for your wedding, showing up on time so they can see YOU walk down the aisle, and eventually dancing the night away for you.
SO why not show your guests that throughout all the time being devoted to you and your day, you have actually considered and thought about your guests. It's a little symbol to show you want to take care of people who have spent time and energy on/for you. It's a cute little surprise they can see when they enter into the Ladies room and c'mon who is NOT going to appreciate a free lip-gloss/hairpins/mint?
Here's a list of things you may or may not want to put in the little vanity basket!
ps: we're a fan of getting our goodies from the 99c store!
Hair elastics, hairpins, hairspray, hair-gel, hairbrush, hair-combs, personal lip glosses,chapstick, one use toothbrushes, dental floss, mints, personal mouthwashes, personal facial cleansers, makeup remover, personal nailpolish removers, tissues, tampons, panty liners, mini first aid kit, extra band-aids, sewing kits, extra safety-pins, q-tips, tide-to-go, advil, tums, perfume, spray deodorant, gum, candies, moisturizer, condoms ? :).......
