Am I being crazy?

Am I being crazy?

I can't pick a wrapping paper for my favors. I keep deciding on one, then changing my mind. I want color, then I want black and white, then I want solids. Every time I change my mind, i change my mind on the color of the personalized ribbon as well. Needless to say, I'm getting married in 3 1/2 months, and I haven't ordered the ribbon or decided on wrapping yet. 270 favors to wrap, at the minimum, so I should make my mind up, right? UGHHHHH...FH was yelling at me today to just pick one and order it. He said no one is going to care because it is paper, and it gets ripped off. I thought that if I chose different papers and ribbons, it could add to the decor of the table. Am I being crazy?

I'm picky like that too but try not to make yourself nuts.... in the end FH might be right about this one...

What about a solid paper with a patterned ribbon?

What are your colors/theme???

Honestly, I’m just wrapping mine in white paper and maybe getting one of those label stickers in our color (names and date) on it. I don’t think you should focus too much on it.

Pink and black. My friend died of brain cancer and a foundation was created in her name. The colors are pink and black, but I wanted incorporate white as well. So, I was going to do solid pink, black, and white paper, and alternate ribbon colors on the boxes. I hope it will look okay,

Re: Am I being crazy?

Thank you. I'm just going to order it right now, so I can't change my mind! You girls were such a help. I stress about such stupid things sometimes, and other stuff (that I probably should stress about), I don't!

We are doing a pair of reversible candle holders. They hold tea lights, and if you flip them upside-down, they hold taper candles. We also did a donation.

That's an awesome favor!! I think they'll look gorgeous with the wrapping you described. I didn't even think of wrapping my favors.

Re: Am I being crazy?

Yea I am definitely a picky person but I didn't drive myself nuts on this part. I just picked something that I thought was pretty and moved on. I would listen to your FH on this one, when it's all said and done the wrapping on the favors is the last thing that people will be dwelling on lol. GL!
