Question for anyone who has ordered favor boxes from papermart.com

What kind of boxes did you order from papermart.com that you were happy with for your favors? I need some recommendations.

I'm looking at the white glossy boxes but the picture looks like it is more of a natural color and not a stark white - which is good because I need it to look more ivory - is that the way it really looks?

Thanks!

I ordered those exact boxes, and they are a stark white. The boxes are JUST what I wanted! PERFECT!

BUT, you would wrap them, right? So you can always wrap them in ivory paper. They sell paper there, too.

I also ordered Chinese 1/2 pint containers for my candy buffet. I loved EVERYTHING! And the ribbon I ordered from them, too!

I ordered boxes from papermart. They do look white.

Thanks so much!! That is what I was worried about - I didn't want them to be stark white. I was trying to find an ivory box so I could just put a ribbon on them but I'm not really finding that...so I guess the new plan is getting white boxes and wrapping it.

I couldn't believe how much they charged for shipping

How did you figure out how much paper and ribbon you needed? I have no clue

Re: Question for anyone who has ordered favor boxes from papermart.com

I took a VERY wild guess... plus their wrapping paper roll is HUGE (it's actually still on backorder, so I haven't received it yet).

I made them notate my account, though, that I would only be charged the weight difference for the shipping since they sent everything out BEFORE calling me to let me know the paper was on backorder. They were going to charge me the base shipping rate PLUS the weight of the paper, so I convinced the girl to just charge me the difference. It's only right since their site said that the paper was in stock. If I knew it wasn't, I would have told them to wait to send everything together so the shipping rate wasn't ridiculous. My wedding's in November... I'm not in too much of a rush!

ETA: the rolls of ribbon I ordered were HUGE and the PERFECT width and color, so I'm very happy I ordered from them!

Which wrapping paper did you choose?

How many rolls of ribbon did you end up ordering?

Thanks for all the help

I ordered 2... I don't remember which width or how long it was. I can check tonight when I get home.

I chose the glossy white paper. (again, it's backordered)
