    What do you b2b thinks about organza bags and favour boxes. I am unsure of which i want. Organza bags looks nice but so do the boxes i have found some boxes i like from a well known auction site but they are 75p a box and i have over 250 guests for the vening recpetion so unsure of what to do.

    Suggestions needed xx

    I got organza bags in silver for our favour bags... I got 25 for £3.99 off ebay :) But I'm sure there will be other ones cheaper.

    I prefer them to boxes... for one you don't need to build them and they wont get look knocked etc.. :)

    You go for whatever you think you like more :) xx

    i like both although having favour boxes as only doin them for the wedding breakfast guests then for the evening ive got some mini jars fom ikea and gonna fill them with sweets an put them on each table x i think organza bags may be the cheaper option or how about making them yourself i was gonna do this until i found the idea for jars x

    personally I'm going for the cheaper option as although the boxes look lovely, our wedding co ordinator said they usually end up in the bin anyway once the goodies have been eaten/drank etc xx

    We chose bags, but then my mum found some nice boxes. Think she wanted them more than us, but then she said she'd buy them, so we're putting the bags into them.

    We're having purple and black boxes with purple or black chocolate hearts in them...we're having novelty favours for the children. We're only doing favours for the day guests...otherwise we'd be paying for over 250!!! Mine are included in the cost of my venue dresser xxx

    I like both, organza bags are cheaper, and are less effort, and I like organza anyway, lol. But boxes are sometimes percieved as "posher" lol. (I think so anyway)
    So I think i'm going for the organza bags :) x

    I've bought brown organza bags to fit with our theme, from ebay, for fraction of price I've seen them in wedding magazines.

    There are some cake/favour boxes shaped like wedding dresses and tuxedos in a certain shop where everything cost a pound. There are 10 in a pack so only 10p each x

    I think it depends what you're planning on putting in them. We're going with favour boxes because we're giving them fudge as their favour and that wouldn't go well in a bag, but if you want something that isn't perishable then a bag would be fine. Personally I prefer the look of boxes as well as I think they look a bit more formal but that's just me!

    I guess its down to your budget, I would have liked boxes instead of bags, but can spend the money elsewhere.

    I have pillow style boxes with the butterflies on them. Dad ordered some personalised ribbon to go with them. The boxes and butterflies were about £22 for 100. I have pictures on my profile if you wanna look.
