Card Box Alternatives

I actually saw tons of "alternative" options at places like TJMaxx/Marshalls. We found ours at Marshalls - it's one of those glass terrariums where the top opens and can latch closed. There are also really pretty wooden boxes, memory boxes, etc. that you can use - I've even seen birdcages there.

Awesome, I'll definitely look around those stores! I've found great deals on thank you notes at Home Goods

Angela here are some that I have found.... I'm going to try to use the suitcase idea.

Another

I like this one also

We are using a birdcage I found at Cracker Barrel on clearance

Here is another that I thought about

We are using my Grandmother's hat box.

Having the same question - appreciate everyone sharing what they are doing!

@Sasswood we are also using a vintage hat box!!

Thought this one was pretty cool

They have ones on etsy that look like a wishing well and others that look like an unopened wrapped present. We will most likely do either of those.

Me and FH are funeral directors... I bought a cardboard coffin on amazon. Spray painted it white. Going to put a small bunch of flowers on top, cut a slit on the lid and I bought a sign that says Cards from Michaels that I'll put on top too.

But that's a very customized box hahah

Check out TJ Maxx/Ross/Marshalls/Home Goods. My old roommate found several card boxes there, it cracked me up. She'd find one on one trip, buy it, then find another one our next trip. She must have bought and returned 4 or 5 before she found her dream box, and it didn't cost her more than $15

I was thinking of doing a mailbox with a decal that has our last name & street address and after the wedding put it on our post outside of our house. We need a new one badly, lol.

I'm using hurricane lanterns for centerpieces so I was thinking of doing this:

We're doing a suitcase but oriental trading has a lot of inexpensive ones

Thanks everyone for the ideas!!! Def going to check out tjmaxx/homegoods!!

I got a glass terrarium from homegoods for $12 that I plan on using as a card box. Right now it's part of our dining room table centerpiece

I bought a mailbox from someone on NextDoor (eBay was also a possibility) for $12 and gave it a fresh coat of paint.
