Wine Box Card Box?

Wine Box Card Box?

While we were doing a tasting (with our photographer—fun!) I spotted wine boxes for sale. Instantly, my brain went into DIY mode and I thought of our non-existent card box. This could do the trick!

Mr. Barrettes said he could cut a hole in the “top” of the box and screw it shut so the panel didn’t slide open. He’d also have to put some sort of bracket on the bottom so it could stand upright safely.

I like it laying down with the panel sliding towards me, but the cards would either have to go in the “back” of it, or be bent/pushed through a slot on top to lay flat. You feel me?

Which way would you prefer to see it presented if you were giving us a card?

I like it upright. It just looks so much better. You know… when things are standing up

Cheers,

nice find! I will have to keep that in mind! I think that yes it looks nice laying down, but practically will work much better standing up, like in the first picture.

I like it laying down, but I have to agree that it would be easier to put the cards in standing up.

This is also an awesome keepsake from your venue!

Could you buy two and have one laying down as the base for the one standing up? Best of both worlds!

I know some people are afraid of theives (how horrible to be a person who steals from a newly married couple!) but if you aren’t what if the wine box was laying down and then you could open the lid and put in your card?
If not, then from a guest’s perspective, standing up would work best.

we used one of these boxes too! We stood it up, removed the cord, and cut a hole in the top where the cord was! We then glued the sliding side on, so it couldn’t be opened!
It was a great card box!!

Upright! It also will take up much less space on the gift table!

Also guests do not want to “fight” to place a card in the box if it were laying flat.
