Was at a wedding recently had deodrant, mints and plasters in it - Thought it was real good idea. But then heard one of bridal parties giving out cos mints went missing!!

She was going mad, felt like saying relax probably only cost a euro or something

Unless your Bmaid wanted to do it. Wouldnt worry about it most people have their own bits in their bag.

Heya
I ot the idea on here and I love it!!It took me aut 30 mins one day to buy the stuff and about 40euro max!Ceap basket from heatons,tissue paper and there you are!
Can't rem everything I have for it but have the following for the ladies
Min bottles of perfume-asked pharmacy for loadsa samples
hand cream
brown clips
tights-tan coloured from pennys in 3 dif sizes, you get 2 pairs in pk I think so first one with the ladders wins them

tic tacs from lidl
rennie
deo
lollipops from tesco
hairbrush
clear nail varnish
smal samples of make up-y'know when you get a free gift with lancome etc and they give you small mascara etc
Can't think of what else I have in it but if you do a search here you should find loadza ideas
for the boys I'm putting in mints,rennies, small aftershave and gel shots from bryllcream and deo.
Hope this helps

To be honest its just another thing to worry about and i'm not bothering. What i am doing thought is putting scented candles in the ladies. I just love the smell.

i know it sounds like a great idea but to be honest another €40 -50 is still another expense and i'm sure my guests will be able to sort themselves out.
It's these little things that are really putting up the budget - i keep forgetting that on their own they don't cost alot but when all added together it is pricey.

Just make sure that if there are children that you leave the tablets at reception and just put a note saying they are available from there on the basket.
We are doing this, haven;t got much worked out though. See this thread;
