To find out how much Melanie will have to pay, we need to calculate the total cost of the bracelets.
There are 20 bracelets in each package and Melanie wants to purchase 2 packages, so there will be a total of 20 x 2 = <<20*2=40>>40 bracelets.
Each bracelet costs $3.50, so the total cost will be 40 x $3.50 = $<<40*3.50=140>>140.
Therefore, Melanie will have to pay $140. Answer: \boxed{140}.
