What are you using to collect wedding cards during your reception?

Very nice. Where did you find it and how much was it.

I don't know all I did was google unique wedding cards idea you know me I love unique lol.

I absolutly LOVE that box.... I dont think we are doing anything reception wise except a dinner with the BM, MOH and her kids... We may have a pool tournament when we get back to Bakersfield... maybe then we would get cards... but who knows...

My ffil is going to make us a wooden card box, he is really good at woodworking and it is a cool way for him to help! It is a total help too cuz card boxes are expensive!

I am decorating a white birdcage with our wedding colors in flowers and feathers.

I FOUND IT BOUGHT MINE YEA !!kellymariecollection.com

Also doing a birdcage...birds will be part of the theme

Ours was pretty basic. We didn't want the cost of the card box to be greater than the value of what was in it. ;-)

Pretty, this is my unfinished card box.

I can't attach photos from work, so I can only do links. sorry.

I don't know yet. Cute box, Bella! I think Danielle just used one exactly like it in her wedding.

What is a card box used for? I am not stupid, I just have never seen or heard of one, so I am just educating myself. From the sound of the name it's safe to say it's a box for cards, but why do people bring cards to a wedding?

I was just going to let people put them on the gift table. Is that tacky?

Ahh, this last post just answered my question. Cards with checks in them.

@Cantwaittobemrs, I would have someone in charge of the cards, bc I think leaving them on a table makes it easier to misplace one or two etc..

I like that idea but they are kind of expensive

We're using an old rural mailbox. My sister/MOH is covering it with faux bois contact paper to make it blend in with our rustic theme. We got the mailbox for free from craigslist - so just the cost of the contact paper ($1 - Dollar Tree!) and ribbons that we already have (how much do I love that BB&B's ribbons on the registry gifts I've already received are in our color scheme!?!?).

@cantwaittobemrs and Gillian: I think the best reason to have a cardbox is to prevent theft. You wouldn't think people would be stealing at a wedding... but if you have the reception someplace where the public can walk in and out of, then it's possible that cards could be stolen (and some people put cash, not checks in them!).

@ Danielle, I love your idea of using a rural mailbox. I haven't seen anything like that, and it fits your theme perfectly.

Were going to be useing a treasure chest since its going to be a pirate princess wedding.
