If you provide paraphernalia for weddings, you can only imagine the consequences of trying to deliver postal packaging to the venue only to find they get broken in transit.

According to wedding planner Bridebook, the average amount a couple spends on their wedding is now £23,885. The site suggested a few ways this cost could be reduced by going for some less expensive options or even doing away with some items like wedding favours, but the fact is there will still be a huge amount of stuff people will spend their budget on.

Imagine if your business is providing such items to the venue, like table decorations, props, lighting, a framed seating plan, or wedding favours such as small boxes of chocolates, only to find when they arrive they have been damaged. If this happens on the eve of the wedding, you might find it almost impossible to replace them in time.

That is why you will need the best protective packaging. It is always bad news when an item is damaged when it arrives, but on a one-off occasion like a wedding it can be catastrophic for the boxes and bags to be opened at the venue to reveal the contents inside have been damaged.

There are many steps you can take to ensure your items are kept as safe as possible. This might include bubble wrap, corrugated inserts in cardboard boxes, or crumpled paper.

It also makes sense to wrap and protect particularly fragile items individually and avoid a situation where they could be squashed by being exposed to the weight of other items.

By acquiring protective materials well ahead of supplying items to the wedding, you can ensure you can give due care and attention to the process and minimise the risk that anything you provide will be in less than perfect condition. 

That way, the happy couple and their guests will be able to enjoy the big day without any calamities to spoil it.
