			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a title="Gift Packaging for Weddings" href="http://www.reddotgiftpackaging.co.za" target="_blank">Gift packaging </a>is synonym with weddings.  Invitations, favors, wedding gifts, confetti and numerous other items needs gift packaging.</p>
<p>Brides spend months in advance planning their big day and how gift packaging will be used.  Invitations are handmade or printed and posted in gift packaging.  Favors for guests come in gift packaging, whether it is Organza gift bags, <a title="Gift Boxes Gift Bags" href="http://www.reddotgiftpackaging.co.za" target="_blank">gift boxes or gift bags</a>.  Once the theme for the wedding is decided on, gift packaging can be planned accordingly.</p>
<p>Visit reddotgiftpackaging.co.za for a wide selection of gift packaging available for brides.</p>
<p>Receiving invitations in special gift packaging makes the guests feel special and urges them to attend.  Collecting of gift packaging is a hobby for grannies and future brides.</p>
<p>Romantic weddings with lots of Organza ribbons ask for gift packaging complementing the theme.  Modern weddings ask for more straight lined gift packaging.  60’s weddings ask for round and curved lines and your gift packaging will then include hat gift boxes.</p>
<p>Ribbons, raffia and other accessories need to compliment the gift packaging and bring out the colour you decide on.  A designer rule when looking at your colour and planning your gift packaging is the 80/30/spot principle.  For example your wedding is Purple, white and pink.  Use 80% White, 30% purple and touches of pink on your decorations and gift packaging. White tables in this instance will be in perfect harmony if your gift packaging is purple with pink ribbons.  Whether choosing organza ribbons or Satin ribbons is up to the theme you wish to portray.</p>
<p>Visit reddotgiftpackaging.co.za for a selection of organza ribbons, satin ribbons and raffia to choose from.</p>
<p>In the end your ambiance will be perfect if you keep to these principles in your décor and gift packaging. </p>
<p>Modern brides have list at favorite stores where guests can purchase gifts for the couple.  Plan your gift packaging so that guests can have their gifts placed in your choice gift packaging.  Your gift packaging can then afterwards be used in your home for storage.  This will remind you of your big day and help you organize your first home.</p>
<p>Very often we receive double of the same gift or an item we honestly can’t see ourselves using.  When opening gifts and unwanted items are found, simple keep it in the gift packaging and pass on to the next person. </p>
<p>One of my secrets is to keep a treasure chest with gifts and gift packaging ready for emergency occasions.</p>
<p>Weddings are special and are worth the effort we put in to them.  Gift packaging is part of this effort.  Photos will remind you of this special day, you don’t want a fraction of your big day not looking up to scratch.</p>
