Anyone not having a cardbox?

I see so many on here but I've actually only seen one at a wedding...we usually just hand the card to a member of the family or B&G!

Have I been clueless at all the weddings I've been to or do some people not do them?

I'm not. I've never seen one either. I think they're a cute idea, just not for me.

Re: Anyone not having a cardbox?

wow thats a nice idea!! I have never been to a wedding that had one, but maybe I will add one to mine! It seems like something that is easy to DIY?

Re: Anyone not having a cardbox?

Okay good, I'm not alone! And usually when we give to bride & groom they just accept it, I'm assuming they wouldn't tell us, 'Oh no I don't want it, put it in that cardbox over there!'

So I probably just never noticed it.

Okay, still need to figure out if I DIY and make something bad or buy it....nice deal from Oriental Trading!

Re: Anyone not having a cardbox?

Most weddings I've been to there has been a card box, either to put the cards in yourself or that the bride and groom end up putting them in.

I had mine custom made by a girl on Etsy, she is a total sweetheart, didn't finish until I was completely satisfied and charged me like 1/3 of what For The Modern Bride charges...

Re: Anyone not having a cardbox?

I might do a birdcage. I think they're cute and I can reuse it.

If not, then a good old money bag!

My parents bought us a dollhouse that my brother built. We're going to cut a slit in the back of it and use it as a cardbox instead. Pics are in my album.
