Great ideas for collecting cards at your wedding

Wedding gifts are wonderful. All those thoughtfully purchased, beautifully wrapped presents piled on a gorgeously decorated table will be a sight you won't soon forget.

But what to do when guests bring you monetary gifts or cards? You certainly don't want them to get lost in the shuffle of shiny paper and pretty bows. So make sure to have a special place designated at the gift table for guests to place their cards — one that looks beautiful AND coordinates with your wedding theme!

 

Go traditional with a white, satin-covered card box.

 

 


Go romantic with an embroidered, treasure chest-shaped box.
Use the box after the wedding to store mementos.

 

Go unique with a three-tiered box shaped like a wedding cake. Add colorful ribbon to match your decorating scheme. It's also perfect for storing mementos after the wedding.

 

Or go whimsical with a personalized bucket!  Use the bucket after the wedding as a fun beverage chiller.

• a large bird cage or terra cotta pot for a garden wedding

Be sure to accent with ribbon and place a printed card beside the container expressing your thanks to guests for their gift.

Enjoy!
