Wedding card box - DIY

We bought this plain wooden box from eBay...

And decorated it ourselves...

I've ordered this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007150PCA/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Will decorate with ribbon etc

Ooohhh life saver! I think I am just so stressed, tired and weddinged out now that I have lost the ability to google! I am ordering one of those!

Also loving the wooden box idea but suspect I won't have time to do that justice!

Now if anyone can find me a 4ft pre lit Xmas tree (green with white lights) for about £30 I'll be sorted! ?

I had the same as MrsMain.

Is this one about £30? The website doesn't work brilliantly on my phone! http://homeshopping.24studio.co.uk/christmas-book/christmas-time/christmas-trees/1/prelit-deluxe-trees/1?wmpsorigin=christmas&search_term=trees

That looks lovely!

Thanks, wanted to keep it simple and pretty. OP not sure if this is any good? Its a ft taller than you wanted but im thinking time / accessability wise https://direct.asda.com/5ft-(150cm-)-Pop-up-Christmas-Tree/001889524,default,pd.html

We're going for an old hamper (broken and "borrowed" from work) and I'm just going to staple gun some fabric in it and have a 'CARDS' bunting/banner in it and leave it open. I hope it'll take me all of 5 minutes...

I've seen some pretty boxes for around £9.99 in TK Maxx. I think I'll opt for one of those, less stress, plus, nobody will really be impressed by a fancy one as they'll be more interested in when the food will be served! Mum says the cards were just put on a table for the best man to read out when she got married.

Got an old suitcase you can style up?

That is lovely! You inspired me so I ordered the same as MrsMain2B and will decorate with silver sparkly ribbon! Thank you!

P.s thanks to everyone for your tree suggestions. I only had space for a 4ft tree and it was turning into such a pain finding exactly the right one so I have now gone for a silver manzanita tree instead! Feels good to be ticking things off my list! 3 weeks 1 day to go!

Thanks for this thread, I was planning on having a basket decorated with ribbon and flowers until my mum said 'what about if there is money in the envelopes, it might get stolen' the thought never crossed my mind and now I'm paranoid so will buy a box now to make it a bit harder for the dishonest people to dip in!

This is amazing - wish I could steal it - my colour is mint green lol I'm going to save this pic and turn the wicker hamper into it....

I ordered this from ebay on Thursday and it arrived Saturday, for £4.99 is great, pretty sturdy and looks smart for a cardboard box. With a bit of decoration it'll be just the job!

Thank you Nicola - DaffodilWaves!

I have the regular wedding type post boxes so if your after something quick then I can put one together ASAP for you.

I've not done mint green yet on a post box buts it this years up and coming colour that's for sure! I'vemade a few invite samples in that colour already in the last few weeks.

if your on fb take a peek through this album: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.402568259775447.98547.178978192134456&type=3 it's what I've created already but all can be changed to suit mint green.

Drop me a message if you want to talk.
