Wedding Favor Boxes Can Enhance Your Wedding Favors

Once you decide on your wedding favors it’s time to find the perfect wedding favor boxes to present the favors to your guests. Wedding favor boxes are a great way to set out items on the guest tables and have them blend in with the decor. Maybe you are offering leather key rings but the color of the key ring doesn’t really match the decor. By putting the favor into a box you can chose the color and presentation that is displayed and keep the color palate of the wedding intact.

Wedding favor boxes don’t have to be expensive. There are plenty options of favor boxes that are affordable and don’t’ look cheap but are quality products. You can usually find them in paper, plastic and tin. These don’t even mention other types of boxes that really are part of the favor as well and not just fancy packaging.

For example, you could place a wine stopper and coaster set inside a miniature picnic basket as a nice favor for your guests at an outdoor vineyard wedding. The picnic basket really is the favor box but is stylish and functional too! Its’ possible to find wedding favor boxes that actually enhance the favors inside, as seen in my example with the picnic basket.

Wedding Favor Bags Can Enhance Your Favors

Once you determine what wedding favors you are going to give your family and friends, your next task will be to determine how to present them. A great option is to use wedding favor bags. Wedding favor bags solve many problems. Maybe your favors are small, don’t come in packaging of their own, or don’t match your decor.

With the use of wedding favor bags your problems are solved. You prevent your guest from loosing their tiny trinkets, everyone has something to carry their favor in, and now you can add personal touches so that the favors blend in with your decor seamlessly.

Organza wedding favor bags are an elegant choice. They add a little flair and color but they still let your favor shine through because they are sheer. They are easy to enhance and embellish as well. Try adding ribbon in the colors of your bridal party or maybe a charm to the bags. Your guests will love the fine details. They are especially great to use for favors that you may have made yourself.

Wedding favor bags look great at every place setting at the reception. Choose favor bags that make a statement and impress all of your guests.

Major House Cleaning

One thing that always ends up being one of the last things to get done is the major cleaning before the holiday guests arrive.  My mother in law is coming to stay with us for the holiday weekend and I want to make sure the house is nice and clean.  I would hate to have someone come over to my house and not have it be clean.  I need to straighten out the guest room and add more towels to the bathroom.  I like to leave out a few different lotions and soaps for people to choose from when they come over.

I don’t want my mother in law to take a shower in a dirty shower so I really need to scrub it out.  I wish those automatic shower cleaners worked really well.  If they did I would have one in all of the bathrooms we have.  Once I’m finished with the shower I need to scrub the toilets and mop all of the floors.  Dusting is another thing that really needs to be done but doesn’t get done often enough.

There is nothing like a host guest coming to get you to clean your house.  My house isn’t dirty I just like it to sparkle when we have company.
