Wedding & Party Decor Inspiration - using our gift boxes

Tuesday, 17 September 2019

wedding and party decor inspiration using gift boxes | Creative Bag and Historia Wedding and Event Planning

When Gloria Vazquez-Abrams from Historia Wedding and Event Planning showed us her mood boards for a styled shoot she was planning we were more than happy to take part in the event. Gloria's idea to use our Queen West gift boxes and gift bags in the wedding decor was so creative and inspiring and we think that you will agree once you have seen these photos that were captured by Samantha Ong Photography.

Our Queen West Blake boxes were topped off with beautiful crepe paper flowers from Floral Fantasy Studio  and used as centrepieces in the tablescape set up. The floral details in the gift boxes worked so well with the pastel mix and matched china, the floral menu cards and the floral details in the lollipop favour packaging.

The gold foil edging in the gift boxes also worked so well with the gold accents in the glassware, china and cutlery.

Let's Party to the moon and back

let's party to the moon and back - first birthday party | Creative Bag

Our customers really like to plan amazing parties. And whether you are a professional party planner or someone who just like to host fun birthday parties for your children, we have everything that you need to get the party started. 

Check out this adorable "fly to the moon" themed party that was pulled together by Janet Kwan from Janet Kwan Photography for her nephew's first birthday.

Janet had a little help from some of her creative friends with a number of the party details. I personally had fun creating a few of the diy projects for the party using some of our products. These "rocket fuel" milk bottles were created using swing top bottles, silver corregated paper "wings" and custom printed labels.

Chalkboards were hand lettered with quirky little saying by Doris Wai from Love Lettering.

You may remember seeing the phantom acrylic wish well in this wedding post or this baby shower post. We think that this is one of the most imaginative uses for this popular acyclic box and proof that it can be used for more than just a wishing well at a wedding. The box was embellished by Doris using water based paint and used as a riser for the amazing custom birthday cake.

The blast off cake and all of the adorable space themed party sweets were made by Tiffany Su from Made With Love.

Paper origami wishing stars where placed inside a shadow box that featured a custom watercolour illustration by Karen Wong Chiu from Oh My Inspired.

Assorted sizes of white paper lanterns were decorated with tissue paper polka dots and watercolour paint to look like planets.

Doris added her hand lettering and drawing skills to a number of items that were meant to be used as party decor keepsakes.

Guests went home with rock candy favours packaged in clear candy bags with custom stickers featuring the watercolour illustration by Karen.

We love it when our clients get excited about their custom bags. Take for example these non woven black and white tote bags that we just created for ReBash.

These non woven two colour tote bags are available in a number of different colour ways but we think that this colour combination is our favourite. It can be customized on either the black or white side (or both sides) with a maximum of two colours. The bag measure 15.5"w x 14"h x 6.25"d so it's ideal for holding lots of goodies inside. Minimum order to customize these reusable tote bags is just 100. You can contact our custom service department for more details regarding pricing and turn around time.

custom packaging inspiration from our customers

Tuesday, 15 December 2015


custom boxes | Creative Bag

Beautiful packaging always gets our office staff a little excited. And that is exactly happened when we started passing around these custom boxes for ICLS. 

Of course, I had to add satin ribbon and a little holiday pick to dress up one of the boxes for holiday gift giving!

The box is from our exclusive Urban Market collection and the logo was hot stamped in silver foil. If you were thinking about having custom boxes made for your business or special event contact our Custom Services to find out more.

Our friends at Petite and Sweet have published another online magazine. "She Entertains by Elle Daftarian" has a number of holiday entertaining and gift giving ideas in this winter edition. My diy project for adding gold foil dots to our canvas and linen bags is featured in the online magazine.

cotton candy favor inspiration

Monday, 25 May 2015

cotton candy favor packaging | Creative Bag

Who doesn't like cotton candy? Sugar spun into happy little clouds from Candyland. I was given some (yummy) organic cotton candy to sample from Janelle of Lola's Cloud a couple of weeks ago and now I keep seeing cotton candy everywhere I look.

Sweetapolita baking book - sweet inspiration!

I even saw cotton candy used a couple of times in this incredible baking book by Rosie Alyea. Rosie is the creative blogger/baker at sweetapolita.com. If you have not visited Sweetapolia's blog before you have to check it out - it's sooooo inspiring. 

cotton candy cloud cookies

Check out Rosie's pink cotton candy cloud cookies! They are on my list to make with my daughter this summer during school break. I also want to make her chalkboard inspired cakes and cookies ... including the edible chalk! You've most likely seen some of Rosie's layered cakes on Pinterest - they are the ones with all of the different colours of cake inside! So much fun. This book has so many great ideas and inspiration if you are planning a party or special event.

If you are thinking about having cotton candy favors, here's some inspiration using our bakery and candy packaging supplies.

 This first favor was created using clear containers with dome lids. This size is great for cupcakes but cotton candy looks great in these as well. The top of the dome has a flat space that allows you to add a round sticker to customize your favor. You can personalize these a little more by tying a ribbon to match your decor/theme around the middle section.

Our new econo hard bottom candy bags are great for creating cotton candy favors or packaging cotton candy for a sweet table. They come in a number of different sizes and you can easily cut the top of the bag if they are too long.

The top of the bag on this favor was folded over a couple of times and I used two sided tape to seal the bag to keep the cotton candy fresh. Ribbon was added to hide the two sided tape and give a finished look to the top of the bag. A custom sticker was added to the front of the bag and a gift tag was clipped to the top of the bag using a small clothespin.

Cotton candy on a paper straw was inserted into this candy bag for a party favor. A twist tie keeps the bag closed and a piece of ribbon hides the twist tie. I added a custom gift tag to the bag using baker's twine. This bag is not completely sealed because of the paper straw so this favor would be best to create close to the date of the party.

 Planning a party? We have lots of great new products to help you celebrate arriving weekly.
