Money holder help

MandWNJ

I am not very crafty, so I am trying to find a trasure chest or wedding cake money holder for the wedding, with a beach type thing. I've looked on ebay and Etsy. Everything seems to be at least $75 and up. Does anyone know of anywhere I can find this cheaper? thanks!

Mine wasn't a treasure chest or cake shaped....but I got this at Michael's for $15 with a 50% off coupon...

I was thinking along the lines of something like this:

Unfortunately, unless you DIY, you're going to pay a decent amount of money.  Whoever is making a box like that probably puts a lot of time into, therefore why it's so expensive.

Try DIY.  Go to Michael's/AC Moore...buy the round boxes, cut the holes out, and decorate.  Should cost you much less to do.

I'm having a beach-themed wedding... just bought a big lantern from Marshall's for $20 and am going to put a ribbon with starfish on it. Much less than anything else I saw that I liked, and my florist had something similar for rental for $50. It has an opening at the top to slip cards into.. kind of like this one but all metal, not wood

Go to Homegoods! They have lots of things, I lucked out while looking for the birdcage there (which they had) and they had a Cinderella carriage cage actually for cards- we are puttling little lights on it- what luck and it was only $14!
