    I have been looking at different options for favours, do you think boxes or bags looks nicer?

    Was thinking of making then favour bags out of the left over chair sashes.

    Thank you all in advance xx

    doesn't really matter to me i think they look as good as each other, the only plus to bags is that they squish down in a small clutch handbag boxes are a bit harder to transport home, just a thought

    I've got bags, but I actually wanted boxes lol... they're both nice... I agree with Soon to be Mrs Mann, you're likely to get a lot of boxes left behind, just because its harded to put them in a bag or a pocket.. :) xxxx

    Ive gone for boxes as I can decorate them better to match my theme!
    Ive also got little boxes spare for the guests to put their napkin rings and glass charms in if they want to take them home

    I have got boxes where the two sides of butterfly wing attach together to close the lid. But I agree they are both really as lovely as each other. xx

    ive got both but unsure which i want the boxes ive made myself was thinking of putting the bags inside the boxes with confetti and stuff in that way when they open the boxes it doesnt go everywhere and as already stated the favour bags fit in to handbags easier without getting squashed ive got all the bags ready just unsure of the boxes grrr xxx

    i think both are as good as each other.

    as was said before, boxes can be decorated, which is a bonus :)

    brilly, those are FAB!! did you decorate them?? if so, was it with a stencil and spray paint?? they look so expensive!!

    We've got boxes now as i found a bargain but i did get a really good deal on ebay for 100 organza bags had to wait for a month or so for them to arrive as they were from china, I only like boxes more because they will stand up on their own so it'll look a little tidier on the table... x

    it really depends on what you put in, and how you design the boxes. Some boxes look stunning, some dont, sometimes wraping in tulle looks amazing, sometimes it doesnt. It all depends on what it is for and how you do it hun. Maybe have a play about and decide which you prefer.
