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!)

You could put a little note attached to the basket (like one of those 'sandwich' type flags), saying something like -

'Emergency supplies for xxx guests
'

Starwberry lube?

Such a good idea, OP.
Little pot of nail polish remover pads? Makeup remover pads for smudged eyes.
v.cheap hairbrush/comb? hairspray?
Like the wet wipes v. much.

(note -- you can really get carried away with this!)

I'd display it in a basket and with a note to explain what it's for (just in case!),if it was me, I'd put in:

Nail files
Spray deodorant
Tester size lip balms
Sanitary towels/tampons
Mints
Hand cream

Canesten

You could have a working class basket and a middle clarrrs barrskit.

Vagisil

What a terrible idea! Expensive, unnecessary, trying too hard, wedding madness. Does the bride know you are planning this OP?!

Flea powder.

Derbac M.

lol

Sorry OP for being a twat, you sound very nice even if some of us think it is a daft idea.

Flea powder femminie itch cream I wouldnt want them at my wedding unless they had been dipped first

Its a kind idea but people do go overboard at weddings. I think a care bag is a bit OTT if I'm honest.

People! Get over yourselves! I'ts just a bridesmaid trying to be thoughtful, it's not naff, or non-u, or too Hyancinth Bucket for words, it's just a nice gesture. FFS.

Nappy bags.

I've just snorted on my gravlax in the Ikea caff at "vagisil"

I laughed out loud at vagisil as well.

nothing worse than an itchy fanjo at a wedding :)

I didn,'t know what Vagisil was.

vagisil advert came on telly last night dd who is 14 just sort of looked like and looked down and back at the telly still with the look on

nothing worse than an itchy fanjo at a wedding

you just get on with scratching

Lol mrsjay I.m not going to ask.

OP, when I marry my second husband, Ewan MacGregor, I hope you're the bridesmaid :)

I'd go for:

• mini sewing kit & safety pins
• wet wipes
• blotting papers
• plasters yyy
• spray deodorant
• good plain hand cream (neutrogena)
• box o tissues

&fin, don't spend a fortune.

If there is an outside element to the day, a travel suncream, insect repellent wipes and perhaps sting cream. I had these available for a christening picnic, didn't use them at the time but sure have since!

Maybe you could put a prominent little note (in a photo frame?) to say something like, please use if you need them, but leave them for others if you don't?

Why is this thread in Aibu?
