What do people usually put in the bathroom at a wedding?
The bathroom amenities basket is one of those details guests notice without realizing it was planned. It serves two purposes: solving a small emergency (a broken nail, a loose heel, a stain) and adding an extra touch of hospitality to the event.
What Luvory's units already include
Before you put your basket together, it's worth knowing what the unit already provides, so you don't duplicate it:
- Basic and flush toilets: essential function only, no additional amenities.
- Super-luxury, VIP, and presidential: include soap, cloth towels, and hand sanitizer as standard. Presidential units also have warm ambient lighting and a well-lit circular mirror for makeup touch-ups.
What you add in the basket are the emergency and courtesy items no rental unit includes by default.
Full list: emergency items
- Basic sewing kit (needle, white and black thread, safety pins)
- Stain-remover pen
- Band-aids in various sizes
- Double-sided fashion tape (for the dress)
- Pain relievers
- Hairspray
- Bobby pins and hair ties
Full list: courtesy items
- Tissues and wet wipes
- Deodorant wipes
- Mints or gum
- Sample perfume (optional)
- Hand lotion
- Sunscreen, for a daytime outdoor event
- Pads and tampons (women's restroom)
- One-size flip-flops (optional, much appreciated after hours of dancing)
What are the 7 things a bride should carry?
This is a related but different question: the bride's personal emergency kit (not the guest bathroom basket). There's no single "official" list, but the 7 most commonly cited are: a sewing kit, safety pins, a stain-remover pen, band-aids, hairspray, pain relievers, and double-sided tape. It's worth placing a scaled-down version of this same kit in the bathroom basket too — any guest might need it, not just the bride.
How to set it up
- Use a basket or tray that matches the wedding's color palette.
- Place it on the sink or a side table next to the restroom unit, never inside the stall.
- Check and restock it halfway through the event — that's when it runs lowest (hairspray, band-aids, and pads/tampons go first).
- If you have separate bathroom zones (e.g., VIP and general), put the full basket in the VIP zone; a scaled-down version is enough for the general zone.
