B&W is a classy combination perfect both for a joyful party and a formal dinner party.
If you plan a formal occasion and you opt for a minimal chic mise en place (which includes invitation cards, table name cards, napkin folding and table setting) you might want to add a more elaborate element as a final touch.
In this formal event we chose a beautiful damask pattern for the gift favours: a lovely contrast with the essential geometrical design of the party.
Here some tips about these damask guest favours for a formal event:
TIP #1 The contrast created by the damask pattern creates a lovely effect also because the gift box is small: when you play with contrasts do not exceed, especially when it comes to business or corporate events.
Tip #2 The thank you card is hand written, just like the the invitation cards, the table name cards etc. If you prefer to print it remember to choose a very simple and clear font, especially if you opt for italic.
Tip #3 Some ideas about small gift favours for a formal party or a business meeting :
Tip #3.1 a classical pen (hint: match its colour with the tablescape or opt for a plain neutral colour and then personalise the pen with the initials of each guest in the same hues of the party
Tip #3.2 a USB pen drive (follow the hint above!)
Tip #3.3 a beautiful card where you give all the info to get a gorgeous SPA treat... No doubt your guests will appreciate!

Your thoughts are good, but I would suggest formatting that includes more spacing for ease of reading. Also, be consistent with your punctuation and capitalization. I´m a little ADD challenged, mind you. I agree that black and white is a very clean, elegant look.

I love the handwritten details. In this world of computers it is so rare and precious to actually get something in real hand written cursive
