What are you doing for your card box? Pics if you got 'em.

ktelizabeth86 · March 2012

I bought this off eBay. It was white. So I just spray painted brown, put some fake moss in the bottom and made a little tag. Card holder complete!

ivedonethisb4 · March 2012

At this point I have NO idea! I saw someone on TK selling a beautiful birdcage in my color but idk if I want one of those or just a box...

pockysquirrel · March 2012

I am making a card box that looks like the question mark blocks from the Mario Bros. video games, since FI and I had a Mariothemed proposal. I actually found the tutorial in someone's planning bio here on TK, but can't post the link right now since I'm knotting from my phone.

nitecheese · March 2012

We are going to have a birdcage for cards.

I love the look of this one, from etsy.com, but would rather craft it myself:

snuff9861 · March 2012

I haven't decided yet. I made one for my MOH's wedding and it was easy to make. But I do like the look of birdcages. I tried to buy one off of Kijiji but the seller was not being cooperative. Le sigh.

ljsquintz · March 2012

I am DIYinig this (LINK). It is a mailbox, so I'm going to buy one at Home Depot and buy the vinyl lettering for it from Etsy.

I bought a plain card box off of Amazon. I found Tiffany blue wrapping paper at Target to cover the box with and I bought white ribbon for the bow.

hllokttygirl · March 2012

<div>I'm doing this too! I followed this blogger's wedding blog when she was getting married. Loved this idea then, and still love this idea now.</div>

aimee58 · March 2012

We're doing something similar to this: http://www.etsy.com/listing/84972548/wedding-card-box-money-box-custom-made?ref=sr_gallery_16&sref=&ga_search_submit=&ga_search_query=cardbox&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade

Except round and brown, with an orange ribbon.

Heather613 · March 2012

I am diy a photo card box, I will put up pictures when I completely done.

BMBrinson · March 2012

Mine is just a card box from a craft store. Someone gave it to me from their wedding...you can't beat free! its white satin, shaped like a treasure chest, has a back ribbon going around the middle with a rhinestone buckle on it.

heatherfitz · March 2012

ok, i know i'm outing myself as ridiculous for not knowing, but what is a card box? :P

mpjf1001 · March 2012

I am doing this...re using my sister's card box, she used it, and then my two cousins used it, we just switch out the pictures and switch up the colors...
(my sister said she may start from scratch, but i told her its whatever to me, just make it look nice, i love creative sisters who are helpful)

cokie216 · March 2012

We are thinking of doing a wooden crab or lobster trap but haven't been able to find a nice looking vintage one yet. We want to include some of where fiance grew up (long island and he does a lot of fishing/crabbing/clamming) in the wedding so I thought this would be good way. Or else I am looking for a decently princed vintage trunk.

Ividian · March 2012

The card box holds the cards that your guests give you as gifts on your wedding day. It usually goes near the placecards/guest book during cocktail hour and then moves into the reception area so guests can just drop the cards in the box.

bride2bnVA · March 2012

I am not doing one for this wedding b/c we do not want any gifts...but for the first one I used a birdcage.

kimm260 · March 2012

I was thinking of using a bird cage but the more I think I about it I will probably make a card box with boxes from Hobby Lobby.

[Deleted User] · March 2012

I made this for our cardbox. Bought the suitcase last summer at a garage sale for $3. Had to buy fabric to outline it. And made the CARDS sign.

robije7 · March 2012

FSIL got married in October a few years ago and they used a birdcage so I'm just borrowing that. She painted it from white to a copper/brown, put fabric in the bottom, and added some leaf garland to it so it fits in PERFECTLY into my theme. Plus FREE!

fishinflagrl · March 2012

My dad is very good with wood making, so he is going to make me one. Its a surprise.

huskerfan246 · March 2012

This is our Wedding Card Box. I found it on Etsy, along with a bunch of other great ideas for DIY projects.
