Advice: Cute saying for bathroom basket?

Mrs. B for real :), on September 4, 2012 at 7:41 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8

Hi ladies,

Major brainfart and creative juices are not flowing right now...

We're getting married in a hotel and the bathroom can technically be used by the guests of the hotel. I wanted to include a little sign in the bathroom letting our guests know they are free to use the items in the basket and also potentially deterring our basket from growing legs and walking off...

Something like sometimes the unexpected can happen. We want you to know we expected the unexpected for you. Please feel free to use the items you need in the basket and return what you have not used for the next guest's unexpected mishap.

I'm lost...help ladies! Thanks!

    I think Hayley has something of that kind on her profile, but this could be advertising. So I'll refrain.

    I love the idea, but I'm really not sure you can prevent it from growing legs :-(

    Like Mrs. S said, I'm pretty sure there is no way to prevent it from growing legs. :-/

    However, I do think it's a really cute idea, and I do vote you should check out Hayley's profile because I'm pretty sure I saw it there as well.

    You can lie and say you had a camera on it! Lol. If hotel guests can use it too, I would nix the basket idea, because other people will not care if it is for a wedding if they think they can get away with taking something.

    Thanks ladies

    I bought a cheap basket knowing that there is a good chance it may not be there at the end of the night. The place where the bathroom is does not get a lot of foot traffic as it is near the conference rooms and ballrooms and there will be signs and areas blocked off for our wedding. So I know its a possibility and won't be upset if it walks away. It is worth it to me to potentially provide something for a guest of our wedding that has tummy issues or a pantyhose run, etc..

    How does this look?

    This is what the sign says:

    WE UNDERSTAND SOMETIMES THE UNEXPECTED CAN HAPPEN!

    WE WANT YOU TO KNOW WE EXPECTED

    THE UNEXPECTED FOR YOU

    PLEASE FEEL FREE TO USE THE ITEMS YOU NEED FROM THE BASKET

    AND RETURN WHAT YOU HAVE NOT USED TO THE BASKET

    FOR THE NEXT GUEST’S UNEXPECTED MISHAP

    THANK YOU

    Justin & Lindsay

    That sounds just fine. If this is the one you were looking for. It was posted by Marie S. I used it for Catae's basket.

    Today is a special day!

    But should something happen to go astray,

    Please help yourself to the contents within:

    hair spray, hand lotion, and even aspirin!

    Use only what you need and leave the rest,

    it may also be useful for another guest.

    So repair the damage that may have been done,

    then hurry on back and join in the fun!

    And the poem for the men...

    If you've stained your tie, your hair is out of place,

    You've got bad breath or whatever the case,

    We've put together a basket to help you along,

    Now hurry back before you miss the next song!

    Thanks ladies. I hope this timid responding is only temporary, this is the only community I've used b/c of the sense of family I feel here. This PC answering crap is for the birds!!

    xo ladies you're always wonderful to me Smiley smile

    Haha Mrs B to Be! You crack me up.

    Honestly if you think of the perfect saying that's fine, but it's so not necessary. I think a bathroom basket is pretty self explanatory. If somebody is going to be a jackhole and dump all the tampons into their purse on the sly, they'll probably do it whether you put a cute sign on it or not. Smiley smile

    If it's a shared bathroom you could probably just write something like:

    "Welcome to our wedding guests!

    Compliments of Mr. & Mrs. B"

    ....but if a random hotel guest direly needs a mint they might swipe one anyway. Smiley smile
