21 inches is not too large. When it is sitting on a table almost by itself, it will not look so imposing.
It's 38-1/2" around? As in the circumference not the diameter right? If so, then I don't think it's too big.
@scadadle15: Yes, the 38 1/2 figure is the circumference. I calculated it from the diameter on the website so I could use my tape measure to visualize it.
Thanks guys! I think you're right, when it's sitting on its own table it won't look weird. And even if it's a little bigger than some other card boxes, at least that'll mean it's harder for someone to try to walk off with it!
Hmm. I don't think the first one it too wide, but it does seem kind of tall. Are you planning on having it on a table by itself? Or will the table be decorated with picture frames/the guestbook/other things? Maybe that would help make it seem less like OH HAI FILL THIS UP WITH YOAR CARDSSS! Haha.
Also, I like the style of the smaller one a lot better, personally.
i'm also looking for a birdcage cardholder... and thought the ones on saveoncrafts.com might be little on the small side?
Where did you find this one?
You could put moss at the bottom and some kind of floral arrangement inside to "fill it up" a bit and then when people put cards in it they wont look so lonely.
@Juliepants: OH HAI FILL THIS UP WITH YOAR CARDSSS
LOL. I think that's what I was worried about. I was planning to just set it in the middle of a table where there's space for people to put gifts...so I wouldn't have other decor or guestbook there or anything. But I was also thinking of putting a little 8- or 10-inch stuffed owl inside the cage, so maybe that will help? Since it wouldn't just be a gigantic empty hole waiting to be filled with cards.
@jess84: This one is from Lamps Plus:

@GreenGables: Good idea, I think filling it up a little by putting something else in there will work!
It does look very big and I think it will stand out like a sore thumb unless you are very clever with surrounding it with other things. I think you should go with the smaller ones.
I appreciate everyone's input. I asked my sister and she told me to go for it, reminding me that we're going to have a ton of people at my wedding and probably a lot of cards. So I've gone ahead and ordered this birdcage, and if it just looks wrong once I see it in person, I figure I can at least resell it. But hopefully once I've decorated it, it will turn out alright. :-)

I'm planning on doing a Harry Potter "Owl Post"-inspired birdcage card box, and I finally found a birdcage that has the right look for a decent price:
The website says it's 21 1/4 inches high and 12 1/4 inches wide (so that's about 38 1/2 inches around). Does this seem too big? I've been measuring it out with a tape measure before deciding whether I wannt to order it while it's on sale, or whether I want to take my chances at finding another, similar, decently-priced one in a store over the next few months. I just don't want it to look obnoxious.
I'm also looking at these ones from save-on-crafts:

The big one in this set is about 17 1/2 inches tall and 10 inches wide, so the size seems about right, but I don't like the style as much.
Thoughts?
