About This ProjectEveryone is on the lookout for unique and personal expressions of who they are as reflected in the special day. At each place on the dinner table, it is nice to place a wedding favor to mark the day and provide an interesting take-home piece to remember the festivities in days to come. The favor is also a great way to say, "Thank you for coming and being part of our day". |
Personalizing Ideas
Here are some great ideas for personalizing a Pyramid Box Favor:
(1) Paper Choices: Order your die-cut Pyramid box forms to coordinate with your wedding colors. Assemble box according to instructions provided.
(2) The Frame: Using a sharp blade, carefully cut a window out of the center of the second cardboard square, leaving a 1/2 inch frame. Cover this with another 3x3 inch piece of handmade paper. Make a slot in the center of the paper covering the window and wrap the edges around the inside and the outside edges of the frame.
Choose paper to match the theme and tone of your wedding, or, if you have ordered your paper or invitations, coordinate the Pyramid Boxes with your wedding invitations and stationery.
(2) Box Closures: All Pyramid Boxes come with a hole punched at the tip of each side of the pyramid. The holes provide an easy way to tie the pyramid closed, keeping the contents secure until opened. Use one of these ribbon and tie ideas to close the box:
- CLASSIC:
- Sheer ribbons for a romantic look
- Raffia for a natural look
- Satin ribbon in the wedding colors
- WHIMSICAL:
- Shoestrings for the wedding of an athlete
- Wool strands for a knitter/weaver
- Dental floss for the wedding of the dentist
Another great idea for personalizing the Pyramid Box is to tie a bead or a metal token to each tie end or glue a dried flower to the tips of the ribbon. This is a very cute idea which adds extra interest to the favor!
(3) Box Fill Ideas: The sky's the limit for filling the Pyramid Boxes - anything that fits the box goes! Here are some of our ideas:
- Small candies - jelly beans, mints, gummies, 2 or 3 Jordan almonds, a couple of exquisite chocolates, chocolate kisses
- Wedding cake wrapped in decorative foil or cellophane
- Seeds for your favorite flowers and planting instructions, perfect when presented in a Plantable paper box.
- A few beautiful marbles and a set of instructions for a marble game
Pyramid boxes are available online, delivered to your door.
Boxes are shipped flat, come scored for easy folding and include instructions for folding.
