    The more I think about it, since we're having a fairly large wedding and we plan on everyone having a really good time, instead of designating one person to give cards to, I think a cardbox has become a necessity. However, what kind of cardbox should I do/make? Our theme is elegant but whimsical with a lot of natural and organic elements. The reception decor uses a lot of tree stumps and curly willow. The colors are green and gold and there will be a ton of candles. Any ideas wonderfully creative bees? Also, I'm not the greatest DIYer, but I can do a few things.

    Hmm....which bee was it that had the tree stump that was carved out with their initials on it?  Maybe something like that? Or is that too rustic for you?

    could you find an appropriate wrapping paper and wrap boxes according to monny's instructions?

    you could also use something like the kraft wrapping paper and perhaps embellish the boxes with pine cones and twigs or something like that.

    Here's how theirs turned out. I believe they used an etsy seller to recreate it for them on Alchemy
