    we're using a mail box and decorating it with our hand prints and names as a nod to "Up" which we both love.

    A globe with a slit cut in it?

    A big vase or 2 that's a creative shape. They have some cool, large owl vases that would work.

    Same with plant pots, like this one

    You could have something like a tree or a clothesline or something like that and have people use clips to hang their cards off of them. Like a version of a wishing tree

    @StaceVBee: My cardbox was a birdhouse from Etsy! It went well with the bird elements in our wedding. I loved it.

    I made a card box out of three round hat boxes and decorated them with scrapbooking paper, and ribbons to look like our cake. It turned out really really well and is different than a regular card box :) Good luck!!!!!!

    i was throwing out some old cpu monitors today and thought someone crafty with a IT/geek fetish could use this as a card box if they gutted it out and changed the front screen for clear perspex

    This is what I am did.  I made it out of paper mache (sp?) boxes...  a little paint and some ribbons went a long way.

    I made my card box out of 4 square frames, plywood, a lazy susan, brackets and the top was made out of foam board, batting, fabric and ribbon.

    I thought the large rustic wood lantern idea was pretty cool. I wish I saw that before I made mine.

    I bought an unfinished barn shaped mailbox, that I painted and finished. Since we were married on a farm, it fit in well. Not the best photo of it, but you can see the cardbox all the way to the right on the gift table.

    @kala_way: I love that owl vase! I had never thought of that. I was planning on doing a box ala Mr & Ms Ferris Wheel, but that owl vase would work so well with other aspects of our fall wedding. Smile

    We're using my FI's sock drawer. When he proposed, the ring was in his drawer with two black socks in the shape of a heart...so we'll recreate that :)

    I'm using a vintage wood cranberry crate. Our "feel" is vintage/rustic New England and it is a Cape Cod cranberry crate so it's perfect. It's similar to this, but it has a lid:
