    My brother bought a bunch of silver/grey gift boxes and ribbons for me to use for my wedding favors.

    Unfortunately, grey is not one of my colors! My colors are black, white and aqua/teal. He knew this, but bought the boxes anyway because they were on sale.

    I am wondering if I should just change my palette and add the grey into the mix, so that I can make use of my brother's gift. Or, should I just tell my brother that we can't use it? I really don't want to hurt his feelings.

    I think they would be really pretty with your colors.  I also think that favor boxes are not that critical for matching your wedding colors.  Maybe you can add a small touch to the gray boxes/ribbons to make them match more.  Look at these, maybe you will find one you love!  http://www.zazzle.ca/bridal+blue+monogram+stickers  BTW-So thoughtful of your brother. :)

    Can you use them for the wedding shower, rehearsal dinner, etc?

    @ rlsulli1598 - thank you! You're right, they wouldn't look so bad with my colors, and favor boxes aren't exactly paid attention to anyway. Thank you also for the link!

    @ Lindsay - Also a great idea, I could use them at the shower! Thanks!
