Help with Navy Blue Favor Bags

[frndshpcptn]

Does anyone know where I could purchase favor bags for a wedding candy bar that are navy blue in color and seal up top?

I wouldn't think it would be hard to find...but I'm stumped! I'm finding them in white / frosted clear or brown, but so far nothing in Navy Blue...

thanks!

I'd try Michaels or Joann's. Failing that, I'm pretty sure that The Oriental Trading Company has stuff like that! Good luck!

I don't know if you are thinking organza though

I was thinking more paper vs. organza.

The idea is to go along the candy bar and fill your bag with candy (then be able to close it so it doesnt spill on the way home that night!)

Michael's was a no-go. Will try Joann's next.

I've been researching this since I'm doing a candy buffet for my SIL's shower. Oriental trading company sells different coloured bags and you could get stickers with your monogram to seal them. I haven't found any paper bags that seal at the top yet but I'm still looking.

It sounds like you're going to have a fun wedding!

The organza bags have pull strings to close, but if you want paper try Micheal's in the gift wrap area as well as the wedding area. I think they have small colored gift bags, you could always have seal stickers to close.

I think the problem you'll run into is that they general don't come with a seal; not in colors, anyway. Plain paper bags in navy you can find, but not with a seal. What you would really want is coffee bags (with the fold-down wire seal), and you'll be much more likely to find those in limited colors. Have you considered going with something like white or silver, and putting a custom-printed blue sticker on them?

If I were you, I'd go with Chinese takeout boxes if you can afford them. They are much neater for the bar, and easier for people to carry because they have a handle and a closure top. You can get them in a lot of colors, too, but it is probably cheaper and easier to get frosted clear.

I'm not the bride - just a happy helper bridesmaid.

I think she has her heart set on Navy Paper bags that seal - but I really like the sticker idea - perhaps she can customize it with her event date too

Well, she CAN get them, the problem is how much they are going to cost. A food packaging supplier can make coffee bags in any color, but they are going to require a minimum order, normally at least about 3000 bags.

I did find you some navy bags, but they are plastic, not paper. The minimum order would set her back a little over $200. http://www.signaturebag.com/products.php?cat=8

Now if she contacted a company like this and asked for a custom run, she could probably get the navy paper, but I'm guessing that it will be somewhere in the neighborhood of $700 to get them custom-made. For that she could get fabric ones.

Yikes - that may be out of her budget.

I emailed her with the sticker idea - hopefully she will like it!

I can't believe how hard these bags are to source!
