Dropping off measurements to the Tip Top Tux for my brother, tracking down those RSVP'S, set up meeting with the Golf Club to finalize menu and set up, look for a card box, and cake topper.

Cha, I'ma try Michaels. I love what I saw on Etsy but they cost way more than I want to spend. You?

CreoleBride30 · July 2012

Yes! The one I want on Etsy is over 100!!!! It's beautiful though. I'm torn between spending the money with an attempted DIY or just pay for it. Idk. I want mine to be square boxes. I have not looked but from what others are saying, at HL or Michael's, it's the round boxes. I did find a tutorial that uses embossed gift wrapping paper...seems easy. But idk... If you go this weekend, please let me know what you find. Cha

Cha,
This is what I bought. It was priced at 29.99 but I used a 40% off coupon and got for about $20. My colors are red, black and silver.
