Okay - I found them...
Wedding Favors - Personalized Wedding Gifts from Bliss! Weddings Market

They have they have a 50 pack of medium glassine envelopes for $7.99. The medium ones should fit the tissue. I was going to order these but haven't yet.

Let us know how they turn out!

thanks,

Celina, Thanks for posting that website! I can't believe I have never stumbled upon that before!! I love this idea! One more thing to order.......

Wonderful idea, may have to use these. Thanks for sharing.

[can't wait!]

Love these ideas !!! Question about the fans. Do you wrap the ribbon and flower on them now or once you get to your destination? I just worry the flower will flatten out during the trip. And also, where did you get those flowers? They look so real!

I am wrapping the ribbon and flower on them now. I hope they won't flatten out, but I think the flowers are pretty resilient and can be fluffed out. I don't think I'll have time when i get down to Cabo to wrap the fans or attach the flowers.

I got the flowers from Silk Orchid Flowers

It turned out cheaper to buy the flowers on the stalks instead of the individual heads. I just cut them off the stalk when they arrived. Good luck!

I got the stamp off of e-bay for about $3. I'm just not sure how to display these tissue packets though. I may either put them on each seat with a fan, or maybe put them in a basket by the entrance. Just worried that no one will see them. I know this sounds neurotic, but I don't want to put one on each seat because my FI says that the guys won't use it and I don't want them to go to waste. Any ideas would be really appreciated! =)

oohhh these are super cute!

I just bought A4 envelopes from paperandmore.com. It was like $6 for 50. I put a few tissues in each one and sealed them with a lable that has our names and wedding date.

 

Our ceremony makes me cry but I also figured people could use them if they get sweaty.

Genius! This is something I haven't yet thought of!
