Weddingbee Blog

I’d like to apologize for my absence around the hive lately.  I was thrown into an Editor-in-Chief position at my new job (same co-workers, new company). Despite the fact that I’m able to work from home (woot, no more gas money going to waste!), I’m even busier than I was when I worked in an office and haven’t had much time to myself.  Although I’ve been quiet around here, I’ve gotten a lot of wedding-related stuff checked off my “to-do” list, which is good since the wedding is only a month away.  A month!  So exciting. 

*Despite my lack of posts, I am still a hardcore Weddingbee nut and will prance around the grocery store with a candy corn horse thingamajig to prove it!!

Since I’ve left you all in candy-coated withdrawal, I wanted to return with a thrilling post on *dun dun dun* …

BATHROOM BASKETS! This is a true testament to just how dorky I’ve become. I was really excited to go to Target and stroll my cart up and down aisles, collecting things for our bathroom baskets. It’s probably hard to tell, but that isn’t sarcasm. I was genuinely pleased to buy mini goodies. I’ve had to control myself and resist all temptations to snag the gum and fancy teeth-cleaners for myself.

Although spray-on deodorant takes me back to my 7th grade gym class days and gives me the heebie jeebies, I’m going to let that go for the time being and assume that it might be useful to someone smelly in need.

An aerial shot. And yes, I am absolutely obsessed and purposely bought condoms that match our wedding colors (hey, they still protect against unwanted stds just the same!!).

I’m also including vanilla air fresheners for both bathrooms, along with a glass container of robin’s egg soaps (which hopefully no one will actually use since they’re way too cute to wash your hands with!).

For those of you who are married, which bathroom items were used the quickest at your wedding (I’m going to take an educated guess and say the condoms and tampons)? And for everyone else, am I missing any must-have items that will make me smack myself on the head for forgetting?
