Offer favor box dies for weddings
Posted by Jen Cramer
If you are a retail store with a die cutting center, be sure you are offering dies to tap the wedding market. By having a variety of dies for invitations and favor boxes -- and making sure you let people know you have them -- you will be able to sell more cardstock and other embellishments.
Here is a new die that came out in January that I just love for wedding favors: Box #26.
It comes in two sizes, is a nice "squatty" (is that a real word?) shape so you don't have to spend a lot of money to fill it up with candy, and it has the most adorable scalloped top. Let's look at two projects showing the two sizes.
The jumbo-size box is 2 1/2" wide x 2 1/2" long x 1 1/4" high. This Monogram Favor Box is a classic example using a monogram letter on the top -- this one uses a 2" Uppercase Roman alphabet. The bride can also make her own seals for the top of the box using a computer or rubber stamping a letter on the top or simply add a die-cut or Prima flower.
I also like the super jumbo size for a larger favor box -- it's 3 1/4" wide x 3 1/4" long x 1 5/8" high. It would also make a nice size for attendants' gifts to hold jewelry and other smaller items. This Happy Couple Box shows how you can incorporate a photo of the couple into your favor. Black and white photos are always a nice touch.
