I think I made the decision for my OOT boxes... (in case you're interested)
Even though I think the wine and cheese boxes ARE cute, and they would cost me less... I'm going to make myself a little compromise.
I'm not going to go all out on the Beach themed box ($3/box for cardboard is ridiculous), BUT... I'm going to go with the plain, WHITE, glossy box, which is priced right in the middle. I'm not going to waste the $25 on the shred, which I would have bought for the wine and cheese box, so I'm justifying the extra $$ there... I'll use burgundy tissue paper I have already instead. And I'm going to put one of our nice, monogrammed wedding labels on the plain, white box to keep it in the theme of our wedding! I can't wait to see how they'll all look! Plus, I'm figuring all the prices from the other thread on 30 rooms... we might only get about 15 rooms booked, so I'll wait until a month before the wedding to order the boxes so I don't waste the money. This way, I don't have to rush to order the clearance boxes before they run out and end up with extra boxes I may not need!
So, the final OOT box will be this white box, with burgundy tissue paper, with an OOT label glued to the box, with clear cellophane tied at the top - filled with a wine bottle, Yankee peanuts, gum, Advil, chocolate, a Long Island Candle Factory candle, a candy apple, soda, water, etc.![]()
I can't wait to make them!
Thanks for your help, ladies! You ROCK!
