Wedding boxes carry the small things guests remember: a favor at each place setting, a slice of cake to take home, an invitation that arrives like a gift. Couples, planners, venues, bakers and stationers buy wedding boxes in favor, invitation, bridal party and welcome formats. We make custom printed wedding boxes in your palette, with names, a monogram or the date foil stamped on the lid. Planners can order wedding boxes wholesale for several events, and bakers or venues can have wedding boxes with a logo printed inside. Buy now or request a quote.
Wedding boxes are decorative boxes made for wedding celebrations, used to hold guest favors, invitations, bridal party gifts, cake slices and welcome gifts. Couples, wedding planners and wedding businesses order them printed in the colors of the event, often personalized with names, a monogram or the wedding date.
Most orders fall into five types, and many weddings use two or three of them in a shared design.
Small boxes at each place setting hold candy, chocolates, sugared almonds, mini candles, soaps or other keepsakes. Cubes, pillow shapes, small gable boxes and two-piece boxes are the usual styles. Our favor boxes page shows the range of shapes in more detail.
A boxed invitation suite holds the invitation, reply card, details card and envelope in a shallow lidded or hinged box, sometimes with a ribbon or a pocket. It suits formal and destination weddings where the invitation sets the tone. See invitation boxes for constructions and sizes.
“Will you be my bridesmaid?” boxes and groomsman gift boxes are mid-size boxes, usually rigid or mailer style, filled with small gifts and a card. They are often printed with each person’s name or role.
Slim boxes for a single slice of wedding cake, or small cartons for cupcakes, macarons and cookies, let guests take dessert home. Bakers who supply weddings order these alongside their regular cake boxes.
For destination weddings and hotel room drops, a larger box holds snacks, a weekend itinerary, a map and local treats. Corrugated mailer styles work well, since they are carried, stacked and sometimes shipped.
Give us the color references rather than a description, because “sage” or “dusty blue” means something different to every printer. A PMS number is the most reliable. If you only have a fabric swatch, an invitation sample or a paint card, tell us what you are matching and we will advise on the closest ink.
PMS inks are the best route for solid palette colors. CMYK suits watercolor florals, photographs and illustrated venue sketches. Remember that the board changes the result: the same ink looks brighter on white SBS paperboard and softer and warmer on kraft.
A wedding design usually centers on one personal element, and it pays to keep it simple. Common choices include:
Foil stamping in gold, silver or rose gold is the classic finish for monograms and dates. Embossing or debossing gives a quieter, tactile result on a single-color box. Check spelling, the date and the year on your proof with a second reader; those are the errors that matter most on a wedding order.
Size each box around what goes inside it, with a little room for tissue or shred. As a guide:
Gather the actual contents first if you can. A candle that is a quarter inch taller than expected is a problem multiplied by every guest. All sizes are made to order, so you are not tied to these figures.
SBS paperboard is the usual choice for favor and cake boxes, because it folds crisply and prints delicate designs cleanly. Kraft board suits rustic, garden and barn weddings and pairs well with twine and a simple stamp-style monogram. Textured and pearlescent papers can be used to wrap rigid boxes for a formal look.
Rigid chipboard is the right material for invitation boxes, proposal boxes and anything meant to be kept as a memento. Corrugated board is practical for welcome boxes that need to carry weight. If the boxes will hold unwrapped food, tell us, so the board and coating can be chosen with that in mind; many couples simply use a paper liner or wrapped treats.
Order by the guest list, with a margin on top. Favor and cake boxes are normally counted one per guest or one per couple, so decide which before you request a quote. Add extras for late replies, vendors, assembly mistakes and the few you will want to keep.
On timing, earlier is better. Work back from the date you plan to fill the boxes, not from the wedding day, and allow time to review the proof without rushing. The production timeline is confirmed on your quote, so share your wedding date when you get in touch.
Folding boxes ship flat, which means someone has to put them together. A few habits make that easier:
If hand assembly is not practical, ask about styles with simpler closures or pre-glued bottoms.

Yes. Names, monograms, dates and short messages can be printed or foil stamped on the lid, sides or inside. We produce exactly what is approved on the proof, so please check spellings and the date carefully before signing off.
PMS inks give the closest match for solid colors. Send a PMS number if you have one, or tell us what you are matching, such as an invitation or fabric swatch, and we will suggest the nearest available ink.
Favor and cake boxes are typically SBS paperboard or kraft board. Invitation, proposal and keepsake boxes are usually rigid chipboard wrapped in printed or textured paper. Welcome boxes are often corrugated board because they carry heavier contents.
Many favor boxes are about 2 to 3 inches square, which holds a few chocolates or candies. The right size depends on your favor, so measure the item, allow a little space for tissue and order to fit.
Paperboard favor, cake and gable boxes ship flat and are folded by hand, which keeps them clean and saves space until you need them. Rigid invitation and gift boxes are delivered assembled and ready to fill.
Count one per guest or one per couple, depending on how favors will be given, then add extras for late replies, vendors, assembly errors and keepsakes. Ordering a small margin at the start avoids a second run later.
As early as your design is settled. Work back from the day you plan to fill the boxes, leave time for proofing, and share your wedding date with us. The production timeline is confirmed on your quote.
Foil stamping in gold, silver or rose gold is the most requested, followed by embossing and soft-touch or matte lamination. Spot UV can add a subtle shine to a pattern, and gloss suits brighter, more playful designs.
Boxes can be designed with ribbon slots, and custom inserts or dividers can hold candles, jars, glasses or several small gifts in place. Tell us what each box will contain so the insert is cut to those items.
Yes, they are widely used for wrapped candy, chocolates, cookies and cake slices. Let us know if food will touch the board directly so suitable materials can be discussed, or use a paper liner or wrapped treats.
Minimums are low, which makes custom printing realistic for small weddings and elopement parties as well as large receptions. Your quote will show the quantities available for each box type you choose.
Yes. Every order receives a digital proof and a 3D mockup. Ask a second person to read the names, date and any wording, because production starts only after you approve and changes are not possible afterward.
Send artwork as PDF, AI or EPS at 300 DPI in CMYK. If you have only a monogram, your invitation design or a color palette, our design team can prepare the box layout for you at no charge.
Yes. Planners, venues, bakers and stationers order wedding boxes for their clients, sometimes with their own logo printed discreetly inside or on the base. Repeat orders in a house style are straightforward once a dieline is set up.
