Card Boxes

We are doing a DIY card box that we can use it afterwards in our house. My FH is making it so it's very special to us -t's going to be either a bird house or a log cabin. We have an antique decor in the house and a ton of wooden birdhouses on our bay window so it's perfect.

This is my plan but I'm worried I'll f#$% it up and end up having to buy one on Etsy for $150+ anyway. I like to think I'm crafty, but I'm not so great at execution lol

I love that... I ended up just ordering a bird cage. I am not the crafty type to DIY. I wish I was. Plus with less than 4 weeks now I really don't have the time to DIY.

Lol! This is me exactly. I'm a perfectionist when it comes to stuff like this so if it's a fail it won't be leaving my apartment lol.

I'm leaning towards a birdcage myself for the card box currently.

We had one (pic in my album) and it really came in handy. I really did not want to have to carry a card around or leave on the table or designate someone to be in charge of them. Plus it was a little keepsake to us.

Card Boxes

I'm going to a wedding tomorrow and the bride said that I can borrow certain things from her wedding when the wedding is over. I may snag her card box (I believe it's a wood chest).

If you are contemplating not having a box, I went to a wedding where the bride was carrying around a nice bag to put the cards in when they were handed to her.

Ladies PLEASE pay attention to these boxes/cages--i've seen on the news people (guests/random ppl) picking up the whole box in the middle of the reception and walking out with it! SCARY!

im not a huge fan, mostly for this reason. Also, other weddings ive see guests just get up a place it in the box. I will have a bag (hopefully we can find the one my grandmother made my sister for her wedding) so everyone can hand me the cards and i can personally thank them.

Be careful when using card boxes. I know a few people who had gifts go missing during their wedding because someone dipped into the card holder and helped themselves to some of the gifts. I will be getting a fabric bag to hold the gifts and one of the parents or grandparents will wear it on their wrist during the reception.
