Reception
It's easy to forget that most of your wedding guests will use the bathroom at some point in time during the reception. You don't want your guests to walk from a beautifully decorated room filled with gorgeous flowers and candlelight to a dingy bathroom that smells and repulses them. A few easy fixes can make bathrooms at the reception more welcoming.
Candles
Place a few scented candles on the bathroom sink to help to make the bathroom smell more pleasant. Choose candles according the time of year you're getting married and your theme. For example, if you're having a summer wedding with a seashell theme, use a beach scent. If you're having a fall wedding decorated with white pumpkins and leaves, choose a pumpkin pie or apple cider scent.
Hand Soap and Lotion
Jazz up the bathroom with cute bottles of hand soap. In addition, put out two or three lotion dispensers for guests to use after washing their hands. Dress up the bottles or containers with a decorative ribbon or a sticker with your new monogram on it.
Bathroom Baskets
Fill a basket with toiletries to anticipate guest needs. Include pain reliever, medicine for stomach upset, tissues, gum or mints, deodorant, facial tissue, a sewing kit and dental floss. For the women's bathroom, consider adding tampons and sanitary pads, blotting pads, hair spray and clear nail polish. You could also put in spot-remover wipes, body spray, contact solution and eye drops. If you're having an outdoor wedding, include sunscreen and bug spray in the basket. Most of these items can be found in travel sizes. Put a personalized note or sign next to or in front of the basket letting guests know you put the products there for their comfort, so they won't hesitate to use the items. Make sure it's placed in a prominent area so guests see it when they first walk in.
Decorations
Guys likely won't really appreciate floral arrangements and tulle in the bathroom, but if it's in the budget, add a floral arrangement to the women's bathroom. Only do this if there is plenty of room--you don't want to obstruct sinks with flowers. Jazz up doors to the entrance of the bathroom by putting a wreath or bow on the outside of each one.
