Our wedding card box! I wanted to make this simple and follow our green theme, so I saved a bunch of boxes from the mail, a couple large pizza boxes and grabbed a few brown paper bags from my mom's house. This box is nearly 100% recycled! Here's what we did!
1. My live-in architect helped create a stable box structure and lid with his amazing modeling skills!

2. I crumpled the brown paper bags and ironed them with wax paper to get a neat effect! Then I wrapped the box and lid with the paper.

3. I used paints and ribbon leftover from our boutonnieres to put the finishing touches on our box!

It definitely looks different, but I think it fits us!

Our invitations have been sent out! Hopefully the mail does not eat them like it did some of my shower invitations! I can't wait to see everyone! It is going to be a great weekend! Check out our wedding website that Derek and I designed! That's all for now! Check back soon as we start to design our wedding programs! :-)
Hi Rachel! Long time no talk :0)
ReplyDeleteLove the box, and the invite below! We made our invites too and they were awesome and one of my favorite wedding invites ever - yours is also in my "favorites".
Good luck with the rest of the planning!
wow that turned out way cooler then I had imagined it would.
