Wedding Reception
Wasn't Impressed on my Wedding Day with This!

As I sit here thinking about the wedding day, I really couldn't think of anything I could complain about until I remembered this.

One of my bridesmaid's mom and sister made me a beautiful wedding day survival kit as part of my wedding shower gift. So I thought I would make use of it and leave it in the bathroom for anyone who might need any of the items in it ie. guests, bridesmaids, or myself.

Well low and behold while one of my bridesmaids were in the restroom, they watched from inside a stall two girlfriends of my Husband's friends stuff their purses with all the items from in the basket. And ladies there were a lot of things, including some awesome lip glosses from bath and body! It didn't make it pass the dinner. When my girlfriend came out and told me who they were I was so shocked ... I really didn't think anyone would do that. Well the next day, a friend told me that one of my bridesmaids was in the restroom with another bridesmaid later in the night, and the same two girls were in there that stole the stuff. So my same bridesmaid (who's mom had given me the gift) was like "I can't believe someone would steal all of the stuff from the basket, like how pathetic can you be!?!? It's was meant for EVERYONE!" Apparently the two girls walked out immediately looking guilty.

So the lesson of the story is girls, if your going to provide a survival basket for guests make sure to leave a sign or poem like this (I totally forgot to make one as it was on my list minute things to do):

So happy you?re here to share in our special day!!!
But should something happen to go astray,
Please help yourself to the contents within,
Hair spray (or Wet wipe), hand lotion, gum and even aspirin,
Use only what you need and leave the rest,
It may be useful to another guest.
So repair the damage that may have been done,
Then hurry on back and join the fun!!!
Compliments of the Newlyweds

Some people are unreal.  I hope this does not happen at my wedding cause I will have no problem walking up to them, tell them to give me back everything and than tell them to leave with or with out their bfs I dont care.  That is just rude and childish what they did.

I told my husband about it during the reception and he begged me not to say anything because they are good friends of his, so I didn't, but I so wanted to say something ...

OHhhhh H*ll no!!!! I can totally see some of my FH friend’s girls doing that.....and I'm the Bride that would say something. It's sad but I know way too many females that would do something like that. (not friends of mine). I just don't understand some people. Thanks for the heads up... I will definitely be making a sign now

There was pretty much nothing left in the bathroom baskets from our wedding either lol!!  But I guess it's my own fault cause I just put signs in these cute little picture frames that said "Compliments of the Bride & Groom"...I didn't think people would literally take the entire bottle of something...but still I guess it's my own fault and they figured they could help themselves to the whole thing!!  It was actually a bigger problem for us in the men's bathroom...I still at least had the whole bottle of lotion and hair spray and some other things left from the women's bathroom, but pretty much everything had been taken from the men's basket...go figure cause at first I wasn't even sure if they would pay attention to it at all lol!!!  The poems might help...but then again, by the end of the night people might still walk off with something if they figure nobody else is gonna use it by then if the wedding is almost over!!

Now that is embarrassing. Why in the world would they do something like that? Only a question for your suggestion with the poem, if they want it that badly, their still going to take it regardless. That's sad...Why do people do the things they do? I have no answer.

True I know they would, but maybe the thought it was compliments of the venue or something who knows. Or at least they'd wait until the end of the night to pocket stuff, but not even make it past dinner ... like common! So I think a sign may deter people earlier in the evening so some guests can appreciate the items, then go wild later. I mean I didn't expect to get everything back ... it was the point for everyone to use, but no one get to even use anything.

This happened to me as well.
My mom really wanted to make one for the washroom, (but I hesitated because I KNEW it would get stolen... and so it did!)

I heard that you have to watch the guest who carry large bags.(purses)
I never heard of such a thing. I'm afraid to order the large castle centerpieces for every table: I may loose control if someone takes one. I want to reuse my centerpieces for my daughter Homecoming Queen party. I know she will win.
