I know everyone thinks it's tacky but...

Put the box somewhere where people will be by all the time. I like the idea of honey funds if you don't need any thing for a house. I don't think it's tacky but I would still provide a card box. Plus it doubles as a decoration

>> You seem to get quite overexcited about nothing very quickly.

And I think you are over-spoken, believing you are some authority to shut down every other persons opinion if it doesn't align with your own. Instead of suggesting that I don't post, you could ignore my comments and move along.

@Daniel: I didn't suggest you not post, I suggested you lurk for awhile, because you seem to get WAY over the top and have very little idea of the community overall.

I don't believe I'm some kind of authority, I was actually offering friendly advice to help you avoid some nasty situations down the road, but by all means, please, proceed.

I understand the concern of the card box being stolen, however small of a chance that may be; but that is why you assign someone you trust, like a family member, to stand at the box/table, until all the guests are seated. Then the box should be moved to a safe location. This is how it has been done at most weddings I have attended. While the risk of stealing is very small, there is a simple solution, and it is not a good reason to have a honey fund.

This is a shit show..... I don't know why we waste our time on these people.

@AME: Because we enjoy headaches from stupidity and ignorance?

Honestly, I think it's just because every now and then someone actually gets a clue.

@mna Yeah I know but once Daniel showed up I would have thrown in the towel lmao.

And I thought my teeth were overly sensitive this morning...

My parents actually had a guest steal the cards.

That being said, I still think any sort of asking for money is rude and tacky. Regardless if you have a honeyfund or not, people will still go both ways. Some will "donate" to your fund, but there will still be people that bring cards. It's gonna happen.

@AME: yeah, at this point, I think that one's a lost cause. Oh well. You can't save them all.

I didn't read the comments because no comment could make me think that asking for honeymoon money or any money is okay.

Why?

1. Asking for money is tacky, in any form, in any way, with any poem.

2. The idea that people steal from you as a rational to set up a honeyfund is BS

3. You know that a majority of the people here think it's tacky

4. WW only pushes it because they advertise here.

But you're going to do what you want anyway, so rather than waste the bandwidth, why don't you just do it?

Umm... Have someone you trust empty the card box...

Our venue has a bridal suite that locks to put the card box in....or you have someone run out and put it in a locked car...

You don't even have to have a card box. Put cards in your jacket pockets, or your purse, or whatever.

I'm sorry, but I have to go back to the point about having to go to the bank. This is the biggest first world problem ever. "Oh no I have to take an hour out of my life to go deposit the hundreds/thousands of dollars given to me by loved ones." There are people in the world literally dying right now.

@AL - Are you kidding? If you have a wedding with 10-15 people that might work but at a wedding of 100+ nope. I went to a 300 person wedding and no one brought a physical gift. They had to empty the card box 3 times before dinner.

Would it be tacky to put the box on the sweetheart table? That could eliminate the someone running away with it problem but does it look tacky...?

JessieJV, yeah, it depends on the size of the wedding, and how much stuff people have already bough off your registry and had delivered, I guess.

@AL - No one up here brings physical gifts to weddings, you only get cards it doesn't matter if you have a registry or not.

WTH....put the cards in your jacket pocket? That's a new one lol.
