Card Box

In our families and social circles, it’s common to have a regular basket on the gift table at the reception entrance. No one gives cash so there isn’t any concern with cards being stolen. We attended a wedding once with a bird cage for cards on the gift table and no one knew what it was for.

View Quoted Comment What do you mean by regular basket? Like a basket to put actual gifts in?

View Quoted Comment Wrapped gifts go on the table which is usually a long single banquet table that would seat 8 people covered in a tablecloth. A flat open basket is what loose cards go into for those who don’t bring a physical gift.




Something similar to this that doesn’t cost more than $5-10 max at Joann or Target and can be reused as home decor.

View Quoted Comment Ohh okay, makes sense. I like the $5-10 idea a lot!

We had a card birdcage, that was placed right next to our table and within view of where my parents were sitting so I know it would be safe. I also didn’t think that anyone I invited would steal from us, but I’ve definitely heard that it has happened unfortunately.

I don't remember how exactly he did it, but yes, it worked for the day. I think my husband kept the keys in our bridal suite at the venue.

View Quoted Comment Oh perfect! That sounds like a good idea. Thank you Kristen!

We did! we had a cheap one we got off target or amazon, can't remember. it was basically a cardboard one

View Quoted Comment I am definitely leaning towards something on the cheaper side for sure.
