Answer 1

This site has a binch of card boxes, but they are all white and dont look like the traditional treasure chest with wood and the big black lock, they are more elegant.

If this isnt what you are looking for I would suggest going to the craft store and getting a plain box in the shape you want then you can paint and decorate it the exact way you want.

Answer 2

Try places like TJ Maxx or Marshalls in their home departments. When Target does their World Market, you can sometimes find neat things there. Also, try Bombay Company.

Oriental Trading sells bubble gum coins that would make a neat decoration around the chest, and guests could feel free to help themselves to a little treat. You can also get sand dollars, shells and starfish from them as well as cotton fishnet and other beach themed decorations.

Favors: Go to a craftstore and buy a couple bags of seashells then glue them to a glass or plastic votive candle holder. You can add colored sand to it too in the colors of your wedding. Take one of the shells glue a pretty piece of paper with yours and your fiances name on it and the date inside then glue this to one side of the votive. You don't have to use paper, you can just write it inside of the shell. Insert a candle, some candy around it and tie it up in cellophane. Another idea is tiny picture frames with seashells glued to it, you can put a pic of you and your fiance inside, or leave it blank for them to use. Guest book: Take a piece of brown wrapping paper, ina ny length you want. If its a large wedding make sure its at least 3 feet long. Using a lighter carefully burn the edges to make a nice border. At the top of the page, glue a small piece of hemp yarn across the top to create a border. Above this in bold print of your choice, use a nautical print, place the date and your and your fiances names. At the reception, make sure everyone signs your scroll...You could even decorate the pen and pen holder with the rope or even some shells. Invitations: Make shell shaped invitations, or print them yourself on beach printed paper. Cake: Have a fondant cake made to reflect the beach. It can have sugar sand on it and a bride and groom in bathing suits. Pretty much anything you can think of can be done for the right price. Oh and Tiki Torches provide good lighting, with the right ambience.... Good luck!

Answer 5

if you want a do-it-yourself project, you can make a treasure chest-shaped box using wire hangers and a light, semi-transparaent material in brown or gold. use the wire hangers to get the general shape of the box (square on botton, dome-shaped for the top) once you get the 'skeleton' of the box done, cover it with your material and make a slit on the top (which functions like a lid for your box). you can embellish it with ribbons, pearls, crystals, a lock ,etc.
