Card box

Kerin, on April 12, 2020 at 2:50 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8
I'm getting married for the 2nd time, as is my fiance. We do not have a registry and plan to ask guests to donate to a charity vs bringing a gift.


Should we still have a card box? I don't know what the etiquette is on this...🙂

    I would still have a card box - because people still like giving people a card, at least.

    I would definitely have one! People will still bring cards even if you ask them not to bring a gift.

    Definitely. I went to a wedding where they asked for charity donations instead of gifts. We still brought a card and so did most people that I noticed!

    Thank you! I've not been to that type of wedding, so I wasn't sure 🙂

    Yes, have a card box of some sort. Even a fancy birdcage will work that you can get cheap at Walmart or Joann.

    Etiquette says you can't dictate what people gift you (or that they spend their money elsewhere). Accept what they give you graciously and have a safe place to store cards. Be aware people will bring gifts regardless.

    I would definitely still have one. I know if I was donating to a charity on a couples behalf I would bring a card too. I find it fun to write a note to the couple. Plus the card box will help keep things organizing and keep you from losing a card.
