The paper bag garland doesnt necessarily have to hang from the trees. It can be draped on bushes, wrapped around poles, strung along walkways and more. Its very versatile, and when you choose bags which feature your wedding colors, you decorate at the same time you create the party favors. Online you can order plain paper bags cheap.

With the large selection available youre sure to find paper bags that matches or coordinates with the colors youve chosen for the wedding. Cut lengths of cord to make the garland. Fill each paper bag with the desired party favors. Some gifts you can place in the bag include candy, cookies, bath salts, a candle, soaps, bath fizzies, hot cocoa packets or other choices. Think about the weather before placing chocolates and similar things in the bags. After placing the objects in the bag, gather the "neck" of the bag, blow into it, and youll create a rounded look. Tie it shut with a ribbon and, if you want, curl the ribbon. First, position a piece of ribbon on the backside of the bag, then tie the main ribbon around the bag and additional ribbon. The additional ribbon piece will be used to hang the bag on the twine and form the garland. Tie the bags on the twine to make the garland. Space them somewhat close together but not so they are touching each other. The punch of color all over the garland instantly gives the yard or other area a wedding touch. As the guests leave remind them to take a bag with them. Remember to keep all the bags within easy reach.
