Check out Beaucoup, a stellar website that offers great ideas for every single aspect of your favor needs, including packaging! Here are some of my featured favorites:

The Candy Man Can

I don't know about you, but I am a HUGE fan of sweets, particularly baked goods and CANDY! Candy buffets are a great idea for a little something extra at your wedding. Here are some photos I found that I just love. I hope they offer you some inspiration if you are thinking about creating your own:

Do It Yourself Pom Poms!

Weddings are expensive, but there are lots of creative ways to use a little elbow grease and save money on things like decor. Here is one idea that I just love! Martha Stewart's do-it-yourself pom poms...they are relatively simple to construct and her step-by-step directions really take you from start to finish without any hiccups (provided below).

Welcome!

Scenario: your friends and family are traveling from far and wide to attend your nuptials in the San Francisco Bay Area...and you want to welcome them with bells and whistles! As well you should – besides taking the time out of their own lives to fly out to see you, a trip to SF is not inexpensive...flight, hotel, rental cars, and I won’t even mention the cost of gas... Okay, you see where I’m going here. We’ve all felt the economic downturn. That being said, here is a great way to thank your guests for making the trek...welcome baskets!

A Picture is Worth...

You know the old adage. Well, it’s true. There’s nothing like seeing a picture of a newly engaged couple – a good photographer can capture the love in the air and make it almost touchable! At PhotoWorks (a part of American Greetings) you can share your favorite engagement photo with those you love by creating adorable cards, save the dates and invitations!
