Favors are the Finishing Touch

The finishing touches you choose to add to your favors can transform them from “blah” to “beautiful”. Don’t fret if you can only give your guests a votive candle or a bag of candy. Below are some clever and inexpensive ways to wrap your favors in order to add elegance and personality.

The Wrapping:

• Tulle. Commonly used, tulle adds elegance to any favor. It comes in different colors and can be bought on a roll or in circles. Although circles cost more, consider going with those because it gathers into a fuller look than its roll counterpart.

• Cellophane. Inexpensive, cellophane is a shiny material manufactured in a variety of patterns and colors. With its brightly colored options and designs, cellophane screams fun, especially when paired up with matching curling ribbon.

• Fabric. From a lacey look to gingham check, this option empowers you to be super creative, without breaking the old pocketbook. On the downside, because you’ll need to cut your own squares, it also requires more work.

• Corrugated Cardboard. Wrap votive candles in corrugated cardboard of the same height, then secure with ribbon wrapped around the middle and tied in a bow. It makes a smaller votive look instantly more substantial.
