Your wedding day is a time for celebrating, not worrying! Everyone wants their special day to go off without any problems, and that includes no lost wedding gifts or cards. Most people bring the gift to the reception; some bring the gift or card to the ceremony if they cannot make the reception. Many tuck money, checks or gift cards into the cards they leave. These cards are intended to make it to the couple getting married, not to get lost in the shuffle or fall behind the gift table. There is a perfect solution to that problem; it is called wedding gift card boxes. They are becoming more and more popular, keeping all the cards from getting lost and in one location are the main reasons.
These boxes can be found from the very simple cardboard put-together-yourself type for around $4.00 up to the very fancy, decorated, wedding color coordinated and personalized ranging close to $200.00. Some types are the simple decorative card board box, a white birdcage decorated in ribbons and flowers to coordinate with the occasion’s colors, treasure chests covered in satin, flowers and bows, white coach shaped holder, glass boxes that are engraved with the couples names and wedding date, a silver filigreed box, a wedding cake or presents piled up holder, a wooden revolving box that has photo inserts on the four sides for pictures of the couple, a simple white basket, or a container that goes with the theme, such as a Tiki hut for a Hawaiian wedding. The only consistent feature that must be in common with all these different boxes is that there must be a large enough slot or a convenient method of inserting the cards, but also, not too easy for these cards to be removed by someone quickly passing by so they might be stolen. That would make the white decorated basket one of the least secure options. These are all easily decorated to match the wedding colors.
The purchase of beautiful wedding gift card boxes would be a perfect shower gift, possibly from the person throwing the shower, so that it could be used right then. Cards are not only given at the wedding, but at the shower also. Nowadays with registries so popular, many people find that giving a gift card to the happy couple so that they may choose their first choice gifts themselves is the easiest thing to do. Many of the above card boxes could be used over and over again, such as the revolving wooden photo box. For the shower, it could have photos of when they met and were discovering their attraction, for the reception they could be from occurrences during their engagement, and then afterwards they could display their wedding photos in it along with other mementos from the occasion in the card slot holding area. It could then continue on to a baby shower if the shower occurs after the baby is born, photos of the baby could be shown off. So some of these wedding gift card boxes are very versatile and can become family heirlooms. The only thing that will limit the number of options for a wedding card box is your imagination. Even on a limited budget, a beautiful container can be designed.
Depending on the size of the wedding, the card box should be appropriately sized also. They come in small sizes that would hold up only about 20 cards to some that are approximately two feet high that could hold thousands of cards. Some wedding couples request that married guests bring a note with words of wisdom for wedding success. These card boxes would also be a great place to hold these also. With all the other plans that need to be accomplished, the wedding card box may be a seemingly insignificant detail for the reception, but it can not only house all the cards and keeps them from getting lost, it can also be a gorgeous centerpiece on the gift table. These suggestions can help cross off one more worry from your growing list of things-to-do before the wedding, and it can be accomplished in style!
