Every detail in a wedding should be as special as you can possibly make them. If it is a first class event, everything should be first class all the way. This also applies to the packaging of your wedding favors as well. Unlike the usual gift wrappings, wedding favors are small gifts or tokens but the way they are wrapped and even the way they are presented are totally different from the usual gift-giving.
Firstly, considering the size, the material and the type of favor, your packaging should be composed of all or any of the following:
The main packaging should be a favor bag or box. Typical favors that are placed in boxes are jewelry boxes, coasters, and key chains. On the other hand, you can use small favor bags for chocolates, almonds, or soaps. For some, such as soaps or nuts, you can use boxes or bags interchangeably. You can make your own favor bags or boxes using regular materials such as fabric or regular cardboard.
For a softer appeal, use ribbons or lace to tie the bags. You can use ordinary ribbons or have the ribbons printed with the details of your wedding such as date and venue. Choose a color that is on the same shade as your color motif or one that will complement it.
One of the most popular wedding ideas for favors is to use favor labels to make your favors personalized. You can put a special quote or just simply your names on them, whether on mini cards, hang tags, or sticker labels. For boxed favors, it is best to use mini cards. For bagged favors, choose hang tags tied along with the ribbon. And for favors that are presented by themselves, use sticker labels or hang tags.
If you want a little extra in your packaging, you can add charms or embellishments on them. You can have small heart pendants tied on the ribbon as you finish your packaging. Use beads to accentuate your bag packaging or use glitter around the borders for the text on the mini cards.
No matter what your wedding favors are, it is important that you put special thought into choosing them and the packaging that you will use. Even if you have a great wedding favor, but do not have a good packaging to complement it, it may not have the same effect or it may just look sloppy. Make an impressive wedding favor by having impressive wedding favor packaging, whether personally made or ordered in stores.

Make Your Own Wedding Favor Packaging
Sewing your own wedding gown is not easy, and cooking the food for the wedding reception is really challenging, if not impossible. But if you fancy being hands on in some aspects of your wedding, preparing packaging for the favors should be easy enough to do. Making special packaging for your wedding favors will truly be exciting especially if you enjoy arts and crafts. If this is your first time, do not fret as the basics in wedding favor packaging is just the same and as simple as packaging for any other type of gift.
When making personally made packaging, check your schedule to make sure you have ample time to make them. The last thing you’ll want is to run out of time for taking care of the other details of your wedding because you allotted way too much time to preparing the packaging. To make things less complicated, stick to the simpler designs or styles when making boxes or bags, and use materials that you are already familiar with. This way, you will not spend too much time experimenting or re-doing some pieces.
At the same time, be mindful about the durability of your packaging. Making the packaging out of paper or out of fabric is a major consideration. Protecting your wedding favors will depend largely on how well they are packed and purchasing other materials to complete your packaging will depend on this as well. If you are dealing with edible favors, make sure that the packaging you will use will prevent breakage and spoilage of the food item.
Choose which packaging would be best for your wedding favor, whether bags or boxes. For fragile items such as crystals, the best thing you can do is simply place a specially printed ribbon around it or place it inside a padded box.
Complete your packaging by creating favor labels that are suitable for your favors. If there is space in the body of the favor, you can place sticker labels directly on them before placing them in boxes or bags. This way, you need not double the favor label by attaching a hang tag or mini card.
Packaging your own wedding favors will truly make your guests feel appreciated for the time and wishes they have bestowed on your special day. Making these packages will be a creative outlet that will let you improve your crafting skills, and give your favors that one of a kind packaging instead of the ones that your guests normally see from department stores or bridal shops.
