To ask for suggestions for a wedding "care bag"

[MummytoKatie]

Ok - I blatantly am but I'm going to do it anyway!

I'm being a bridesmaid next weekend and am planning on putting a bag in the women's toilets with stuff for all the guests to help themselves to like plasters, hair grips, safety pins, a small sewing kit, lip balm etc.

Does anyone have any good suggestions? (noting that my parents will be at this wedding so my book of "ten top positions for your one night wedding stand" is probably not appropriate!)

lol at what's in it for me.

I love weddings when I know and care about the people getting married.

But - going to a wedding when it is your DP's business partner's daughter getting married? Count me out. Long day, dull food, new shoes, boring.

I am really glad - that hat was a bit marvellous. You must have been thrilled to have got so many compliments.

not wedding related I can remember years ago the cloakroom attendant in out local disco (they were called discos back then ) had her little box of deodorant lip sticks and perfume she was about 90 and would sit doing her knitting as half pissed women trundled in and had a scoosh of her opium perfume

I find it boring too.
Is it really called a care bag as thats not v glam sounds like something you give to someone going into a home

I like weddings when I don't have to DO anything. Alas, this is never the case. I love and adore my friends and am always thrilled and flattered to be involved, but I have forgotten what it's like to just rock up to a wedding to enjoy the day and eat and drink

Link to hat

Maybe some tena pads. ?

Get to be honest although it was really lovely I was worried that I'd looked like I'd tried to hard. I wasn't going to go for it to quite such an extent until the bride (who's my oldest and best pal) said "Oooooo i can't wait to see what you're going to wear: half the excitement is seeing what outfits people wear!" etc. etc. So i thought well, I'll do her proud, but i did stick out like a sore thumb slightly.

Ach, well. She's the last person in the world to fret about that sort of thing, and God knows no-one could have upstaged her. She's 5 months' pregnant and wore a floor length 30s silk bias cut gown she bought for almost nothing in an antique market, and there was something about this gorgeous glowing pregnant woman marrying the father of her child that knocked every other bride I've seen into a cocked hat

Now Jodie you see that sort of blatant love almost convinces me .

Care bag

Pop socks
Tena lady
Yardley's lavender or 4711 cologne
Polygrip ultra
Toupée tape (for wigs not tits)
Scholl corn plasters

I am like Ivy Tilsley

Someone deeply in love would prompt me to curl my lip and think 'that'll never last, you'll see'

Noddy this was the kind of wedding that would convince the most hardened cynic that everyone should marry IMMEDIATELY! Instead of gifts they asked everyone to bring their favourite dish of food, so the lobby of this ancient hidden church nestled in the middle of a huge city was crammed with astonishing home cooked food from all over the world. The vows were simple and direct, the groom wore a linen suit and no tie, the speeches were short and sweet and funny while the children played cheerily on the floor (including one little girl of about 3 who decided her party dress was uncomfortable and ran around butt naked for about 3 hours!), the groom's speech was one beautiful heartfelt declaration of love, we had a ceilidh, we watched Mo Farrah win on someone's iPhone, and at the end of the night we all drunkenly packed up this amazing food to sustain us over the weekend!

It was enough to make me want to divorce DH and marry him all over again

Get

Stressed is a millionaire, obviously.

Nah, do a search Sole: Stressed is a 62-year-old brickie with a weak prostate and an erratic wi-fi connection

I totally agree re jodie re brickie with a weak prostate.

It's a troll anyway and best ignored.

Get Orf PMSL just hope you do not wear her crinkly dtyle of jeans.

Jodie lol oh one if those new money types then lol

Arf @ brickies being 'new money types'

Oh God I love MN. . . you never know whether it's going to be 360 degree filthbeasts or a bit of Nancy Mitford, or both!

Not Ivy's crinkley type jeans, but am planning to have her kind of facial surgery.

Our Brian.

And the wizened look on her face whenever Gail came into the room.

She was a wonderful character, I haven't watched Coronatrion Street for years, has Gail turned into her?

DId anyone say hand lotion?
