DIY Card Boxes

This week I found some grey DIY card basket ideas. This is a great way to give your guests a place to leave cards and make sure they stay organized and don’t get lost. The great thing about these, like any DIY project, is you have so many possibilities to customize it and make it unique. You can the perfect way to match it to your theme and colors and just add that extra touch to wow your guests.

 The first thing you could do is to use small boxes cut and put together with a card slot. You can decorate the boxes in any color or patter with ribbon, lace, flowers, and bling. 

If you are going for a more vintage vibe there are some great way to tie a card basket in. I love the use of an old bird cage. These might be a little harder to find but are so beautiful and delicate. I also love the use of an old suitcase that isa more vintage eccentric style. 

Another unique one is a mailbox. For a more rustic style window I think this would be perfect. Add some burlap and lace or use some flowers and ribbon to great the perfect look for you. 

Finally a simple idea is to just a use a basket. You can still decorate and make this unique to you. You can paint them or add some small touch for a simple classic feel. 

Have a great week, and check back next Sunday! 

DIY Guestbooks

Everyone wants their big day to be the best. Brides are starting to steer away from the “cookie cutter” weddings. They want to be unique and stand out among their guests. There is so many ways to make your big day unique and personalized.

One easy way is with your guestbook. This is something all your guests will interact with. Give them a place to leave you a little note or picture to commemorate the big day.

There are so many great directions you can go with your guestbook. Personally, I love the idea of a Polaroid camera that can be used to take pictures of your guest and wither inserted in a book with a comment or attached to a larger board. 

We loved this idea from Emily + Travis's Wedding where they had guests type their well wishes on an antique typewriter!

Another idea would be having some kind of sign for sign for guests to sign. This would be a great place to incorporate a pallet sign (check out last weeks post)! You could also use a larger letter sign, like your last name. 

This last idea is definitely for someone with a love for crafting. It a little more difficult but looks great. With some research pre-made ones could be found. The drop top shadow box/frame filled with hearts, or a shape of your choice has a rustic yet romantic look. Maybe be more difficult but I think it’s worth it.
