There’s not enough pinot grigio in the world to make up for being stuck at a garden wedding without bug spray, or dancing the night away in your hottest heels with no Band-Aid relief in sight. Enter the Wedding Restroom Amenity Basket. Yes, once we felt like these were reminders of seedy restroom attendants who’ll do anything for $1, but the more weddings we attend and plan, the more we love the concept.

What goes inside? Think of anything you might want in an emergency. Here’s a helpful shopping list:

• Tylenol/Advil
• Antacid/Pepto Bismol
• Benadryl(antihistamines are good to have on hand in case of allergic reactions)
• Gas-X (we love the individually wrapped meltaway squares)
• Cough drops (Ricola!)
• Band-Aids
• Antiseptic/Neosporin
• Lens solution
• Eye drops
• Aerosol deodorant
• Hypoallergenic moisturizer
• Colgate Wisps (disposable “toothbrushes”)
• Floss
• Mouthwash
• Toothpicks
• Hair spray
• Sunblock (for outdoor events)
• Bug Repellent
• Body Spray
• Feminine hygiene products
• Sewing kit
• Nail Fil/Travel Manicure Kit
• Inexpensive combs
• Hair elastics
• Bobby pins
• Safety pins
• Shout wipes/Tide To Go pen
• Mints/Gum

To personalize the package, consider framing a fun poem nearby:

So happy you’re here to share in our special day,

but should something happen to go astray.

Please help yourself to the contents within,

Wet wipe, hand lotion, and even aspirin,

Use only what you need and leave the rest,

It may also be useful to another guest,

So repair the damage that may have been done,

Then hurry on back and join in the fun!

Whether your skin feels dry or your hair out of place.

You’re not feeling so fresh, or whatever the case.

We’ve put together a basket to help you along.

Now hurry back out before you miss the next song!
