Card box! I personally don't care for the bird cage & I would be afraid that the envelopes would fall out!

would It be tacky to match the card box with my invitations?

2014 bride crashing here, and to answer you question, def not! I matched the colors of my invites to my card box. I think doing so helps define your color scheme for your wedding. If you're interested I bought my card box from a vendor on etsy called exoticweddingboxes. Heres some pics below of my card box and invites. The rest can be seen in my album. :)

2014er crashing

I wanted a card box. But I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for one on etsy, and I'm not Martha Stewart, so I wasn't going to make my own. Then I remembered my 2 cousins carried nice satin card sacks at their weddings. If it was good enough for them, it's good enough for us. A few minutes on eBay and $12 later, I got myself a beautiful ivory satin and lace card sack.

Gorgeous!! I bought my card box from a LIW bride on here used. They can be a little pricey on etsy depending how big you get them. But I vote card box for sure.

yes but those are the same money as if I were to buy one. I guess investing in a box not a bad idea

I like things to be matchy so I like the idea of making your invites to the card box. I don't think it has to look exactly like the invites but along the lines of it flowing. My sister made her cardbox so I plan to do the same. I think she spent $30-$40? Have you ever considered making your own?

They're not as pricey as some of the ones you can buy. Plus they run promotions often (usually 50%) especially if you catch them at an expo

I like the birdcages!! But ive seen gorgeous card boxes too!! I just bought one on sale today from Michaels for 12 bucks and im going to weave some ribbon around it and put a pretty flower on top.. ill put pics up once its done. But you dont have to worry about cards falling out, mine has a thin mesh on the sides but if your doesnt just weave some ribbon around it.
