finished my cardbox! (pics)
Original post by Soon2beAlberti
the only thing left is that i had glittered up some initials for monogram but FH wants to see if we find other styles of letters...also i was reading up on monograms and there really isn't a specific rule as to whose initial comes first...i read that while most prefer the mans initial first...they reason that the brides can also come first because in the case of linens and such linens are a brides domain...but since this is just our cardbox and not linens...does that mean Joe's initial goes first? coz then our monogram would be JAM!!!![]()

well the bigger middle box i got from michaels...it had seashells and stuff printed on it...but it was on sale for about $7...the rest of the boxes i had from shoes and a tiffanys box i had from a gift i got. i used hot glue gun to affix the fabric over the boxes and did it like you would wrap a present...one boot box on the bottom was just the slightest bit shorter and would have made it uneven so I am using those felt circles u put under furniture legs to not scratch the floor...that made it even. although you could easily do the same with free cardboard.
ETA: check ebay for fabrics...sometimes they have amazing deals...thats where i ordered all my fabric and it came 2-3 days after winning it.

absolutely gorgeous!! I love it!! and kudos to you for getting it done so early (I finished mine only 5 days before the wedding day!
minor suggestion, not sure if it costs much, but perhaps you can use a larger initial for the last name (A).......def. go w/ MAJ! lol unless you want to chuckle at JAM![]()
if you think of all things associated w/ the wedding, the brides name usually goes first (at least that's how I did it)

thats what I said!!! but FH insists that the man comes first because he will be 'man of the house' and I am taking his name. we laughed at the JAM and honestly we may consider doing JAM only cause we're getting a good laugh out of it. FH keeps singing michael jacksons 'JAM' song.
but yeah...thats why i didn't glue the letters on coz FH suggested we look for different style of letters and a bigger A

lol, ok good idea to go w/ a bigger A, it might take away from the JAM thing a little more, even though it is pretty funny! you should tell your FH you're hypenating and want both initials in the monogram, see how that goes over!
