    Okay bees! I got out of work early today and decided to spend this BEAUTIFUL afternoon creating our DIY Card Box!

    I went to Michael's in search of a plain white cube card box that I could paint like the Question Mark Blocks from Mario... no luck... instead I found a round box with a lid, sort of like a hat box... and it reminded me of something...

    Hmmm, the perfect Mario-inspired Card Box idea!!

    So I grabbed a can of red spray paint, a can of green spray paint, a styrofoam egg, white fabric paint, a silk rose (which I used the stem from) and some duct tape... and here's what I came up with!

    @corgitales, you would be AMAZED at how many nintendo/mario inspired wedding items there are!! The possibilities are endless! We have our Luigi & Princess Daisy Cake Topper... our Mario 1UP Mushroom Candy Tins, our Mario 3 World 2 Table Map, Sam Hart's "Mario Kart Love Song" for cake cutting, our Piranha Plant Card Box... floating "Starman" candles in our centerpieces... I even got a little orange 1UP Mushroom to sew on to my garter, and our groomsmen will be wearing Nintendo cartridge cufflinks!

    @7SEVENJ9 I cannot WAIT to see recaps from your wedding!!! I don't know if we're THAT into it to do a lot (I never played mario until like 6 mo ago!) but it is one of our favorite things right now and I think it'd be really cute to inject a little subtle mario into our day :)

    Yup! Those are the ones our groomsmen and my FI will be wearing! I found out their favorite games and that seller (who did a FAB job!) custom made them - we have Tetris, Blades of Steel, Mario 3, Classic Mario, and FI will be wearing the gold cartridges of Legend of Zelda!

    @7SEVENJ9: I am soooo jealous! If I was gutsy enough to make the entire wedding themed after my favorite video games, I'd have so much fun with it!
