Re: CARDBOX LADIES NEED HELP
if you want a square one, get boxes with lids in various sizes.
You can then cover them in different types and colors of fabric, with trim and rhinestones to match your wedding colors.
Once you have them covered, cut a hole in the top of the bottom layer, and a matching hole in the bottom of the layer that goes above it. Glue them together, so its not easy to lift off, and repeat until you have all the layers you want.
Then go back in and decorate some more if you want to.
Thats how someone told me to do it, I havent tried it yet, but they said that was how they created theirs

Danielle, I pray we have good weather, since i have to create a back up plan for pictures just in case we dont. But i think the good man upstairs will take care of us! Where are you having your e-party? Hope you guys enjoy! We had a blast at ours, so much fun, got to see so many people!

Re: CARDBOX LADIES NEED HELP
Oh yeah, the man upstairs will be watching!!! We are having it @ my house in the backyard (2 acres & a lake) my mom wanted me to get married back there but settled for the eparty instead. We got a tent, but there needs to be good weather for this- I'm SO excited for it... the RSVP's are trickling in- no regrets yet!

Re: CARDBOX LADIES NEED HELP
You are soooo lucky, our e-party was set for our backyard, tents and all, we only have about an acre and no lake, but we had to change it since our property got flooded just as we were going to send out the invites, which were already pre-printed. arrrgggghhhh, so we had to create these little slivers of paper and place them over my address with the new address, what a pain. But it turned out amazing, had such a great time!!! You will have a blast in the yard, i wanted it so much to be in our yard, but it just wasnt meant to be!
