Card box?

[MakingTheGrade]

Where do you buy a card box? This little wedding detail managed to slip off radar, and the wedding is this Saturday, hehe, whoops

I just realized it was on my to do list, but is yet undone.

Any ideas of where to get a quick card box? Doesn''t have to be anything fancy, just don''t want the cards flying off tables or getting lost.

Thanks!

Michaels, walmart or Target should have them. There will probably be pretty basic,but they should be in their wedding section. I will be using a bird cage for mine. But my wedding will be an outdoor garden wedding.

Thanks!

I swear, my fiance has no idea what''s going on with the wedding and details. If I don''t remember something, it just won''t get done. Sigh. It''d be nice to know he was keeping an eye on the wedding too, and making sure everything is in place. But alas, it''s all me...

I''ll be very relieved for it to get here so i can stop wondering if I forgot anything, haha.

You can buy one as indicated (however many sold at stores are horribly tacky unforunately) If you dont find one you like, I have seen brides just wrap a cardboard box with nice "wedding" wrapping paper and cut a slit in the top. You can put it on your gift table (which you need to have in case people bring real gifts), and it looks nice with the rest of them.

You can buy some sort of decorative tag/high stock card and print "envelopes" on it and put it on the box.

Etsy should have some that are ready to ship, too. (If you are ready to pay to ship it quickly). I just found a pretty box I liked at some home store (can''t remember which one now) and made a calligraphy sign that says "Cards" to put on it. I have also seen people use baskets, birdcages, or washtubs if you don''t want an actual box. The only thing I might caution is that I have read several brides say that thought that some of their cards got stolen at places where there is a lot of staff, so if this is a concern, you might want to consider a box with a lock.
