*Men's Bathroom Basket Above *

*Woman's Bathroom Basket Above*

Bathroom baskets are a nice touch at a wedding, it should include things that your guests might need. It's kind of like a first aid kit.. but not for life threatening things.. lol

Bathroom Basket:
- Mouth Wash
- Deodorant
- Hand Cream
- Hand Sanitizer
- Gum
- Tampons/Pads
- Mint's
- Wet Wipes
- Tide To-Go
- Hair Spray
- Bobbi Pins
- Advil

A little saying to go with the basket:

So happy you are here to share in our special day
But should something happen to go astray,
Please help yourself to the contents within,
Wet wipes, hand lotion and even aspirin.
Use only what you need and leave the rest,
It may also be useful to another guest.
So repair the damage that may have been done,
Then hurry on back and join in the fun!

Memorial Candle

Memorial Candle - Easy to do

I lost my uncle to cancer when I was young, we were soo close, you could even call us best friends..
So I'm going to have something like this made to remember him at our wedding.
I really like the idea of the memorial vase with the floating candle.. this way you can use it many times and just replace the candle when its done.

How-To:

- Find a nice glass vase that would hold a candle that you would like, any style/colour works.. the glass should be flat tho (no bumps or cut outs)..
- You can even add ribbon that is the colour of your wedding party and tie/glue it around the candle holder.. would be a nice touch..
- Take it to get engraved at any store.. and Ta-Da!!

* You can also buy them online, of course! :o)

Guest Signing Picture Frame

Here is a neat idea!
Instead of using the same old boring guest book at your wedding, buy a picture frame with a large matte and have your guests sign it.. Or you can buy them on e-bay for approx. $34.99!
This way you can hang it on your wall and enjoy it, rather then shoving your guest book in a closet somewhere! :)

DIY - Photo Centerpieces!

Candle Lit Centerpiece Picture Frames!

Directions:

They consist of three hinged photo frames set around votive candles. The black-and-white photos are printed onto ecru-colored vellum paper, which is translucent enough for the images to be visible by candlelight.

Disassemble three like-sized frames, setting aside their fronts and discarding their backings. Paint or stain wooden frames desired color; let dry.
Upload or scan photographs into a computer.
With editing software, make the images black and white, and resize them to fit your frames. Print them onto vellum paper with an ink-jet printer.
Slip the images into the frames. Using cloth tape, hinge frames together to form a triangle.
Stand frames around a candle in a protective glass holder.
