A question about your gift box for the wedding?

Where do you plan on placing it and how will you make sure that nobody will steal the $$$?

Re: A question about your gift box for the wedding?

mine has a lock on it

I got a strong box & wrapped it in ivory satin & a bow. it has a slit in the top so I only have to open it to remove the cards.

Edited to add:
It will be underneath my Dais - the tablecloths are floor length in my hall

I'm using a white treasure chest box and I'm going to have the hall set up a small table right behind mine for it. The box has a lock on it.

I'm making a wedding cake one out of 3 different sized round papier mache hat boxes. Decorate them with fabric, lace, pearls, whatever. Cut holes out of bottoms (not the bottom one of course) and slit on top. I can't wait to make it!

My hall provides this big huge one.. for 200 bucks, they provide me with a security guard in regular clothes, who stands by it all night..

Re: A question about your gift box for the wedding?

when my brother got married, he asked my grandparents to watch it. they have had some health problems and couldn't dance. they were thrilled to have such an important job!

Re: A question about your gift box for the wedding?

I just used one of those satin envelope bags- when I was done I gave it to my Grandma to watch. I wanted to do a bird cage, but my mom said that we weren't throwing the wedding to get gifts and it was presumptuous to have a gift 'receptacle' on a table. I went table to table to thank ever guest for coming and for the gift. In my Italian family- anything less would have been perceived as rude.

Re: A question about your gift box for the wedding?

Same as Sassy, but I'll probably ask FH's grandfather to hold it because he will not be able to dance.

Re: A question about your gift box for the wedding?

Great idea! I can't wait to make one now! (as if I didn't have enough to do!)

Re: A question about your gift box for the wedding?

Sassy, what does it look like? Sorry, I am a bit clueless what you're talking about?

Re: A question about your gift box for the wedding?

I was going to do a bird cage as well, but my mom said the same thing as Sassyz75's. I was like ok mom, a bird cage is presumptuous but a huge satin bag is ok? Whatever...if it makes her happy, I'll carry the bag.
