How would you wrap this?

How would you wrap this?

It's about 4' in height.
We also got matches (since we met on match.com)

Should we leave it in the box with the matches & wrap it in paper?
(The favor goes with the theme of the room. So I am not crazy about paper since I thought it would be nice to see it while actually in the room)

Wrap the whole box in tulle? (so can see the favor)

Or Take the candles out of the box and wrap it in tulle?

I would tape the matches to the top of the box. I would keep the candle in the box and put the entire thing in an organza bag -- they sells them at great prices on ebay and papermart.com (I think).

What about taking it out of the box and using cellophane or something?

Re: How would you wrap this?

I think it would look nice in cellophane and you could see it better than if you used tulle. I was going to post something earlier but, I drew a blank on the word 'cellophane'.

I agree. An organza bag with it in the box. You can tape the matches to the top with double sided tape.

I would leave it in the box and just tie ribbon around it with the matches through the ribbon

Re: How would you wrap this?

do you already have your placecards? You can take them out of the box and use them as placecards?

Re: How would you wrap this?

I like the idea of the organza bags. I would take it out of the box, put it in the bag, and thread the match book through the ribbon.

You can find most of these bags in a .99 cents/ craft stores too. I've seen them in packs of 3 depending on the size you might need ofcourse.

Even oriental trading has them, they have a section just for brides. It all depends on your color scheme though. Paper mart is good too.

Have a great day.

I am not sure which side would work best, that was why I was going to go with just ivory tulle.

--Each glass candle measures 4” tall x 2” wide and the gift box has a clear window and measures 4.5” x 2.5”.

I like the idea of attaching the matches with ribbon.
