UPDATE: What about this?

Okay, so, I am having a major issue. Although everything is tied in nicely with my wedding (tea by the sea) I CANT SEEM TO FIGURE OUT MY CARD BOX!!

I just made a card box cake for a friends friend and i thought it was cool but not something I wanted...

Then fh and I were talking and originally I was making a very large sea urchin. It would be on a table with smaller sea urchins sea glass and shells...

Then we started saying, what if we made a huge snapple cap standing upright and guests could then put the cards into the cap. The fact would be
'Real Fact #717 Mr. and Mrs Fazzolari were married on July 17th 2009'

Now, although it does go with the 'tea' aspect of the wedding it doesnt go with the beach theme much... but it does go with the proposal...

And lastly (i love who ever is still reading...you are a saint) Then we were thinking of making a large tea cup.... with nautical decorations on it that reads 'Life is Good'

What do you think? and why? THANK U

That really is such such such a good idea... I am going to work on that...

HEHE good, I got soo excited when writting it,lol. Yes I am a dork

Well you made me smile too...
I am going to combine you and laurens idea..
How does this sound?
On the sign in table, I was going to have two large tea cups as our sign in... We didn't want to do the book because no one ever signs the book lol...
Well, what if, on the sign in table next to the signature mugs, I make a largeer snapple cap glued on to a glass bowl... that says

'Real Fact 717 Vinnie and Jen would like you to make a wish for the happy couple. Write away'

And then... i could still do my sea urchin? haha

WAIT a minute...

WHAT IF....oh no
I bought a HUGE box... and then got two beach chairs to match the teabags... and glued those on top...
and then next to the beach chairs, used two of those small lipgloss snapple bottles (that i doubt I will ever find now) next to each chair and then, glued sand to the top.... and on the front wrote 'Life is Good'

i drew a silly picture because i couldnt explain. Plus my sister is in the bedroom with her boyfriend, which means, since he is now home from the marines, and she has no job or school to worry about, I will have alot of time sitting in the kitchen being on here...

Now on tothe confusion!

you can always have 2 card boxes if you really wanted! you are sooo talented Im sure you can do one and your mom do the other.
OH wait!!!! I have an idea!!!!
What if you made the snapple bottle into a wish bowl....
You have them write a snapple fact (wish) for the 2 of you and they place it into the snapple bottle!!!!

love the snapple bottle as the wish bowl idea !!!!!

This is not helpful but I love BOTH ideas!

But my FH likes the Snapple cap because it is more unique and he thinks it was such a great way to propose...

HTH!

edited because I needed to actually read the post correctly....

I like both ideas... why not make a big snapple cap with little sea urchin or a big sea urchin surrounded by little snapple caps. Everyone knows your story... its not like your guests are going to say what the heck is a snapple cap doing here?
