Posted byIt's been a while since I did my first card box roundup, so I thought I'd inundate you with all the latest and greatest ideas in card boxes. If you're not sure what a card or envelope box is, that's okay; I didn't know what they were either. Here's the idea: it can be smart to set out a card box at your reception for your guests to deliver their cards, instead of delivering them into your hands and then you losing them. (Not that I speak from experience or anything… okay, I do… speak from stupid experience, that is.)
So yes! Card boxes are rad, and easy to incorporate, and save you a lot of hassle. Wanna have a unique wedding card box at your wedding now? Well, here are some nifty ideas.
Kashiitan's cardbox was modeled after their cat, Pancake. This wins for card box that I most want to feed a saucer of milk to.
Mackitten got her gorgeous bird house card box from Etsy seller DoorCountyWoodworks.

Pinterest served up this hollowed out log card… log, I guess. Love the carved initials.
DM used a Peavey mini amp, sans guts, as their card box. She explains, “It took awhile to get my hands on something that could cut through the steel plate inside, but now it's done. When the door is closed you can't even tell it's not part of the amp.”
Or if you'd rather super-size your card amp, here's June's Maid of Honor whipped up — a replica Mesa amp, complete with Marceline the Vampire Queen (from Adventure Time) axe bass. Here's a photo for scale.
Aminspace used an antique stereoscope (3D photo viewer) as a card box. She even included a cool photo for guests to check out when they made a deposit.
I love this robot card box, constructed from an old computer which the groom had been using as a nightstand.
Tara and Clayton used the ‘ol stacked box method and decorated theirs with a comic book character theme.
