cardbox or bridcage?

Ok I need opinions & help!

I am wondering if I should do a cardbox or the birdcage option...I like both. Cardbox would be DIY and I don't know how to do it! So many girls here seem to be doing a great job in creating these. If you think I should do a carbox---any tips on how to make them??? Or should I just do a nice and simple birdcage?

Thanks =)

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

I was going to do a birdcage because they are simple and can be very elegant but I was advised against it as cards can 'slip' out. I got a Perfect Card Box because it's simple and has a lock. Google it

I like that! Which size did you get? I would get the larger...worried about how many cards would fit. Also, was it hard to put together?

Thanks =)

My mom said she found a wedding cake card box that you rent and it has a lock and key which is something I want so things are safe

I love the birdcage and originally we were going to use our RH's birdcage for the cardbox. But then I found this adorable sunflower box at Michael's that was just too perfect so now we are using that.

I'm using a bird cage style card box but it looks like a cinderella coach. Will be buying a lock and key...

I'm leaning towards the birdcage just because it will be easier and take up less time...

Birdcage goes better with my RH

I am almost done with my DIY card box. i would also recommend getting one from for the modern bride. i love my box but it took me forever, cost me a fortune and i have a tone of extra ribbon that i bought and michaels wouldnt let me return . i will post a pic of it when it is done. which may be this week since i will be snowed in. if you really wanna do it FM me and i will give you some pointers.

Re: cardbox or bridcage?

i am doing the 'theperfectcardbox' i fell in love with it and will be able to use it after the wedding. i have gone to wedding where people have stolen envelopes out of the birdcages, so if i didn't buy the box i did, i would have gone for a regular card box
