Or should I say boxes.

This has been done time and time again; Mrs. Lemon, Mrs. Hydrangea, Mrs. Onion, Mrs. Cream Puff, to name a few. If budget wasn’t an issue I’d wow our guests with Lauhala Tote Bags to hold our welcome bag contents.

But budget is an issue, so instead I’ll wow them with the affordable, ever so popular, gable boxes. Now before the wonderful world of weddingbee and the knot, I had never in my life ever heard of a gable box or knew what hell a gable was. I was lucky enough to buy a knottie’s left over gable boxes and paid about $ .76 a box (that includes shipping).

Now for my “wow”. Jon, who also did an illustration for our STD’s, made these ohhh sooo cute “cut out” cartoons of Mr. Sushi and I.

I love being clipart! I threw this illustration over an old postcard I had scanned in (I lowered the opacity of the postcard) and ta da…

Well… there was some ribbon added for pizazz.

Close up of the illustration. It’s about 4×5 in size and I printed 4 on 8×10 label sheets.

This photo is for aesthetics, I used double sided tape to attach the ribbon to the box.
