September 2012 Weddings

Small checks but super excited PIP

Went to the local Swap Shop today and totally scored.  I got 13 wine glasses for my centerpieces for only $6.75.  That also means I only need a few more but since centerpieces are dependent on headcount I think I'm just going to wait it out so I don't over buy.  Then as I was leaving I passed this wine box.  I've been looking for an inexpensive one but they aren't cheap typically and a lot of times are flimsy.  My hope for the wine crate/box would be that it would serve as a card box and also be something we could reuse as decor in our home.  Well I found something better than I had imagined for only $10 and it included a painting.  Not sure logistically how to make it a card box so cards are secure God forbid someone wanted to try to steal them.  My mom and I are going to work on propping it just a little open while it stands on its side so you can see the pretty imprint on the side.

    Very cool! I love the box. I know it's hard to believe that people would steal them, but I think that this actually happened at one of FI's friend's weddings. I couldn't find our card again after I set it on the table (they didn't have a card box/holder). I figured I was just being paranoid but we never got a thank you card, so I'm guessing that's what happened. It's one of those things that you really want to bring up to the person, but it's so awkward. "Hey, why didn't you ever write me a TY card?" Or, "I think someone may have stolen our card from your reception." Sooo they will probably forever think that we didn't get them a wedding present. Oh well.
