Should i get a card box for a small wedding?

Anna, on February 8, 2020 at 3:20 AM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 16

My wedding is only going to have 36 guest, six of those guest are children. I have seen such cute card boxes on etsy, I'm trying to stay on a budget. I don't want to spend on one of these and only get like 2 cards. I bet i already know the answer but just want to know what you ladies think. Maybe one of you will suggest something i can use. Thank you in advance.

    Get one, they are super cute! Who cares if you only get a few cards. At least they will be safe in one place.

    Our wedding is going to be small, but I'd rather the cards be safe than sorry. If you want to save some money, you can probably DIY something with a box from Hobby Lobby and a small padlock.

    I would get one. They make your gift table look nice and they keep your cards safe. You can find some very nice ones for fairly inexpensive and some, you can even use again after your wedding for other things.

    We're having 19 guests and at first I wasn't going to get one but then I saw a post on here about a wedding without one where the guests just awkwardly held the cards or left them on the table because they didn't know what to do with them. I ordered a cute one on amazon for under $20. I didnt want to spend a lot on one in case we do only get a couple cards.

    I would still have one. Where will guests put cards otherwise?

    I’ve been stalking one on FB marketplace. But you could use a cute basket if you want to reuse.

    I had about 25 guests and MOH insisted I needed a card box and decorated it herself. We got quite a few cards and I was glad we had one.

    I would get one! Etsy can be pretty costly though; so if you’re not trying to spend too much, you can find them elsewhere. There are a lot of cheap options on Amazon.

    Card boxes don't cost much actually. Mine was like $5 off Amazon. So it would be a cute touch to have

    We’re getting one even though ours is going to be relatively small 30-40 people. 🤗

    I'm wrapping a cardboard box with cute wrapping paper and using it as a card box. The cardboard box was free, I didn't spend much on the wrapping paper.
    That way it's fully enclosed, and I dont have to worry about returning it to the rental place.
