Where are you getting your card box from?

Re: Where are you getting your card box from?

I made mine from a milk crate I bought at AC Moore. I distressed the wood with a stain, painted letters that spelt our name and secured it. Bought white satin to line the inside and a foam board to put on the top. I decorated it with stuff about us. It only cost me about $35 and I have it forever!

I wound up buying a simple, inexpensive box from Michael's. Orginally I planned to make one, but ran out of time. It was as nice or nicer than some of the ones I saw at bridal shops, and far less money.

I am renting mine from Laura at LA Productions. It is a huge white chapel with a steeple. I don't have a pic but I will make sure to post one after the wedding.

My sister made mine by stacking boxes and wrapping them with ivory satin. She did a great job!!!!!!

I haven't made it yet, but since I'm making the ring bearer pillows, I plan on using the same fabric to cover a Labatts Ice case. Not kidding!

It's our favorite beer and no one will know. Our little secret.

My mom is making us a cake card box out of hat boxes. She'll be covering them in white fabric. Haven't started working on it yet but when she does I'll post pics.
