Since my wedding is coming up very soon, a new thing makes me anxious every day. Today it is the possibility of getting my card box stolen Smiley sad I've heard horror stories of people taking card boxes full of thousands of dollars.

We don't have a DOC, so we were thinking of asking two aunts to stick by the card box during the cocktail hour (while we're away getting pictures taken), then having someone from the venue put it in the locked bridal suite for the remainder of the reception. But I'm worried that our aunts will get distracted and leave the box alone.

What is your day-of plan for your card box to avoid theft?

    I zip-tied my shut and put it in a place where it would be really obvious if anyone tried to remove it.

    Anytime I heard of this happening it was done by the venue employees, never a guest. I've heard of it happening to people I personally know, three times; twice at two different venues in NJ and once in NY.
