How To... Package

I've yet to find a format to present my t shirts in a way that supports the informing of how to be a proper guest at a party. 
After coming up with a number of design solutions, i have chosen to create a package in which the shirt will be folded into. I also know that the package i am using is what i got the plain white t shirts in, a clear plastic wallet, which has a cardboard sleeve within. It is this cardboard sleeve that i shall be designing. 

Here are a few designs for the front of the package;
 
The main purpose for the package is to explicitly state what the t shirt is doing, so i already had the logo or brand name sorted with, 'proper party guest!" Aswell as this i need to some how get on the package this is how to be a proper party guest. but i cant just put it like that, would look naff and wouldnt be appropriate with the t shirt and the idea of it being modern, young high street fashion.  
I eventually came up with making it into this abbreviated phrase, of how to be a = how/2/b/a, this relating to this 'text' youth with inproper vocab and a low grasp of grammar as i show all the time on this darn tootin blog. 
It was just a matter of experimentation of layout, size and colour. Although colour is limited as only a few things will work and match etc
 
And here's a few designs for the back of the package, this obviously doesnt have to be as eye catching as the front however i feel it does need some thing.

I tried taking part of the design off the t shirt onto the back, then i tried showing a diff t shirt for people to buy with the other message, Be Sick and Have Sex!
Out of them all i prefer the simplicity of just having the other design. But only when the colour of it is the same as the colour of the t shirt within the package! 
Now to just put it all together into one thing.
