"Make Your Wedding Special: The Charm and How-to of Custom Tote Bags for Favors"

What are you doing about your wedding favor bags?

Wedding favor bags are one of the must-have items for weddings. Although they can usually be purchased at the venue, they tend to be a bit expensive, ranging from 250 yen to 600 yen for each bag... For instance, if a wedding venue charges 400 yen per bag and you need 60 bags, that would amount to 24,000 yen. Since they usually come with the venue's logo, you might not find many opportunities to use them afterward.

The cute Tiffany wedding favor bags are particularly famous, and there are brides who bring these instead of using the venue's paper bags♡ If you order wedding favors from Tiffany, you receive a bag for each item, which is quite a bargain◎ The Tiffany blue bag also serves as one of the "something blue" items for good luck♩

However, it’s not guaranteed that you will find wedding favors to your liking at Tiffany, and it feels wasteful to pay a high price for unattractive bags at the venue. Right now, among brides, there is a trend of using original tote bags as wedding favor bags♡

The charm of wedding favor tote bags＊

Wedding favor tote bags are commonly referred to as "thank you bags." The charm of thank you bags lies in their originality! Creating a unique design exclusive to your wedding for the wedding favor bags shows wonderful dedication.

Another appealing point of wedding favor tote bags is that they can be used even after the wedding♩ The venue's paper bags tend to be quite bulky, making them difficult to use, and you may not find many occasions to use them. In contrast, sturdy tote bags can be easily carried around, making them very practical◎ They could also be used as shopping bags for groceries＊
