For the Forgetful…

For the Forgetful…

December 12th, 2008 @ 6:23 pm by Ms Fondue

I usually carry around Tylenol in my bag, just in case a situation arises where I need some. However, as my luck goes, whenever I have a headache, I will usually remember that I had removed the bottle the night before because Mr. Fondue needed some. As someone who never has exactly what she needs when she needs it, I love the idea of having bathroom baskets in the restrooms at our venue.

Like most everything having to do with the wedding, I wanted to have them match our theme. I purchased some cheap wooden trays at the craft store and spray-painted them white.

I then used my damask stamp and some acrylic paint to stamp our damask pattern on them and adorned them with ribbon.

However, the damaskness of it all doesn’t stop there.

Somewhere along the line, I found some cute damask-printed paper guest towels at Gallery 19 and bought a few packs. It was also around this time that I discovered MyKleenexTissue.com. I personalized four boxes of Kleenex with our fabric pattern, names, and wedding date: one for each dressing room (hey, sometimes guys get emotional, too) and one for each restroom.

Thus, you get this conglomeration of three different damask patterns in one area. Something I didn’t really consider when I was putting it all together. But I honestly don’t think it looks that bad, especially when you consider the myriad of products that will be scattered amongst all the damask.

I haven’t made out lists yet of what kinds of products to put on the trays. What are you using in your bathroom baskets?

I’ve been saving that link to my kleenex tissue until after we did our e-photos. Now that I have them, I’m going to design my boxes. I thought it was such a cute idea, especially since my wedding is in a botanical garden–people might actually need them!

I totaly LOVE the Kleenex boxes!
Not only am I going to use them for the wedding and everything going on there, my daughter is making some for her girlfriends.
I had not even thought about putting things in the bathrooms - one more thing to stress out about but better now then that day!
Thanks!

I did these bathroom baskets, and they were a huge hit! We included kleenex and towels like you, but also threw in gum, mints, deodorant (the spray kind, not the stick), hairspray, tampons, pads, pain killers, bobby pins and hair elastics. Everything had been opened by the end of the night!

I actually hopped in the bathroom once to use the deodorant. I sweat up a storm dancing the night away, and needed to freshen up myself!

How did you get your pattern on the tissue box? Do you have the pattern scanned somewhere?

@Christa: I was wondering the same thing. This is a cute idea!
