Need Ideas: Card Box

tamtam7 · May 2010

Hello ladies. I mainly lurk on this board, but I have introduced myself before. I have checked out many of your bios and got some great ideas. You ladies are really creative and will have fabulous weddings.

I am getting marreid in North Carolina on June 26th and having a vineyard theme wedding. FI and I are both wine lovers and although our first choice was to have our wedding at a vineyard, we were unable to find a location that fit our needs and budget. Thus, we decided to have the ceremony/reception at a different venue but incorporate our theme through our decor. I need advice on a card box. I considered using this:

But FI doesn't think it will be large enough to hold all of the cards that we may receive as gifts from our guests. What I really would like is a simple wine barrel storage basket, but I can't seem to find one. What are you ladies using?

I saw these before and they are small. You may have to keep emptying it out since it can only hold a few cards. I just ordered this birdcage and i'm going to decorate it with vines and grapes.

Good Luck with the wedding!

Thank you for your suggestions ladies. I love the bird cage liljulz. A couple of other suggestions I have heard are to use a large wine glass to hold cards, but I'm not sure if that would be large enough, I'll have to see. I've seen one at Garden Ridge, but I can't remember how large it is. Another idea that I reeived from another board is to use a wooden crate that the vineyards use to hold the wine in. I may check into that option if the wine glass idea doesn't work out. THanks again for your suggestions ladies,

Tam Tam thanks for the suggestion on the wine crate. I just bought a wine crate off ebay with free personalization that we will use for the card box. Here is the seller if anyone is interested:

Ijust bought the wine cork cage- I agree it is a bit small, but I am having a gift table attendant that will empty out if need be. It was too perfect to pass up, I will make it work!
