Locking a cardbox?

Locking card boxes are very common. No one will think twice about it. I also love the idea of the rocks and flowers at the bottom! That was my first thought when you said it was too large!

We all want to trust our guests, but we can't account for everyone in the venue. For the box pictured above I might find an antique looking lock so it looks more decorative but still functions. You could place greenery around it to add to the greenhouse look as well. My FW was adamant we have a lock after going to a wedding where the cards were stolen by a guest. I guess you never know what people are capable of.

My mom was obsessing over locking said card box and putting it away in the safe in my venue's office. She ended up getting me a chest that locks for my bridal shower and she decorated it but she did say I can change it however I wanted since she hijacked my card box idea (I wanted a tree stump FH was gonna make). So I had FH sand it down and I stained it the same color as my other wood signs I'll have around. Now I suppose it's important because how can I trust their employees or every single SO of people we haven't really met yet ya know.

Honestly I didn't think about a locking cardbox until this post. I have one of those pumpkins and I carved a slot in it so for someone to steal our cards they have to steal the entire pumpkin. Ideally I will have all staffed people on the opposite end of my venue but I don't know if a lot would deter someone from stealing to be honest. Now with yours being much larger that would be hard to conceal so maybe lock it but idk. My wedding is destination for everyone and we are all staying in the same house so if anyone from the guest list stole it we would know Wish i was of more help but I do agree with someone else post about looking for an antique like lock.

My fiance's father offered to make our card box for us because he works in construction and is really good at building things. We requested he put a lock on it because we don't have a registry, we are simply asking for donations to our honeymoon, and although we know everyone there, we aren't risking anything coming up missing
