There are lots of unique ways to show your guests you appreciate them while also showing your personality and style. You can create easy, beautiful packaging for your favors by using store-bought fabric, bags and ribbons or by using a die-cut and paper from your local scrapbooking store to create different shaped boxes. Other great packaging resources are: www.myownlabels.com and www.bagsandbowsonline.com

Also, a wonderful way to personalize any favor and to really thank your guests is to attach a short, hand-written note to your favor.
