The wedding is your very special day. On this day, you want everything to look perfect, and the wedding favours at the reception are certainly no exception... Instead of just putting them on the table, why not put them in beautifully decorated gift boxes! If you are not exactly sure which box is right for your wedding, here is a few nifty wedding favour gift box ideas.
It is pointless putting tiny little boxes on a large 12 seater table; they will disappear and not attract any attention at all, so one of the first things to consider is the size of the guest tables, and how they are decorated. The wedding favour gift boxes should match the décor of your wedding to enhance it.
For example, if your wedding colours are white and silver, it would make sense to also have silver or a combination of the two colours on your favour boxes. A good idea with these colour schemes is to consider wedding favour containers like mint tins, or aluminium tins, miniature hat boxes, or gift boxes dressed with metalized paper, ribbons, and topped with flowers or crystals.
Here is another great idea - how about using round ...
... boxes, what we used to call hat boxes in the olden days? These boxes are every popular, and the great thing about them is guests tend to keep them, and store keepsakes in them long after the wedding receptions has come and gone.
What are you putting inside the boxes? If it is chocolate, it is important to make sure you also add a sheet of grease proof paper, you don't want melted chocolate running over your beautifully decorated table cloths and mess on your guests. Other Popular wedding favours to put into gift boxes are mints, candles, wine or other liquor and special items like the bride and grooms favourite CD of music, a photo frame or seeds and soil, to plant symbolizing the growth of the new marriage. When you plan to hand out small individual items it is best to put them into gift boxes.
If you are really creative, you may want to decorate your boxes personally, however it can be very time-consuming so most people choose to have professional gift packaging specialists wrap the boxes for them. A very popular trend these days are personalized printed satin ribbon, with a special message from the newly weds, that guests can keep, and even use to tie up a gift to give back to either spouse on a future special day! Make sure the gift boxes are wrapped and tied up with ribbon, stick on bows and cards tend to fall off way before the boxes ever make it to the wedding reception!
For more ideas on what wedding favour gift boxes you should choose, consult your family and friends for advice. After all, they will be guests at the wedding, and you want them to like how the wedding favours you give them!About the Author
