Today is my last day of shock-and-awe house cleaning. Tomorrow morning is my pedicure/manicure appt. (at 930am, but I probably won't be able to sleep late anyway) then the wedding rehearsal at 5pm followed by the rehearsal dinner at 630pm. *breathes deep*

So I need some opinions. These are the favor boxes for the wedding guests (they are filled with pink M&Ms with my son and his fiancee's name, the wedding date and two little hearts on them!) but I can't decide -- do the ribbons on the boxes add anything to the overall look? Do they look better plain? I'd appreciate any suggestions.

With the ribbon it looks more finished, and prettier ^_^

I was going to say "boxes with ribbon", but I was distracted by Alex O's bare chest.

Thanks for using check boxes instead of radio buttons, so I could vote for both ribbons and Sheppard/McKay!

Also, the boxes with ribbons look really lovely.

Oh, is that how that works? I'm glad because I did want folks to vote for more than one thing. Especially McKay/Sheppard!

The ribbons look lovely, BUT, if tying all of those ribbons is going to drive you insane, then I think you can totally get away with the unadorned boxes.

Enjoy the mani/pedi -- I hope it offers a small oasis of relaxation in what is likely to be an otherwise pretty dense few days!

I'm almost done but I think I'm going to run out of ribbon! When this is over, I'm never setting foot in Michaels again!

I ticked everything but boxes without ribbon =)

Enjoy your day and repeat often "it will all be over soon and I'll be able to look back fondly" or something like that! ♥

I barely remember my own wedding and I'm so nervous about this one, wanting everyone to have a good time, enjoy the food and venue, etc. I'm really going to try to absorb everything and have a good time. Thanks.

The ribbons are sooo pretty. I then proceeded to check all except 'boxes plain' and would have checked alcohol twice if I could have. ;)

Enjoy your day tomorrow and best of luck with the rehearsals! Everything's going to be great.

Thank you so much! And I wish I could check alcohol twice myself. : )

I am the laziest person reading this post! The ribbons are pretty, but all I can see is extra work, so I voted for no ribbons.

I appreciate that - you voted for less work for ME!

IMHO the boxes with the ribbon looks prettier. But of course it is up to you to weigh the benefit (pretty boxes) vs the workload (hands getting tired from tying and cutting all those ribbons). :)

(Fangirls will be happy with McKay/Sheppard or Alex O instead of ribbon on their box. ;) )

Haha. I miss McKay/Sheppard so much. But Alex makes me feel a little better!

Boxes with ribbons look perfect!

Have fun tomorrow and stay calm, I'm sure everything will go smoothly.

The favors look more festive and finished with the ribbon. Of course, they would look really good with Alex's bare chest or a touch of McShep, too! :) Good luck and have a great low-stress, high fun weekend.

Definitely. If only I could work some Alex into the festivities!
