Anyone not having a cardbox?

Original post by rdubs

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 made our cardbox it was actually a lot of fun to do (although I was pretty drugged up at the time lol). We're also having a birdcage, but just for fun. I like decorating things when i have the opportunity since my job is the polar opposite of crafty/artsy.

Nope, good old money bag.


Except, anyone know where I can buy one?

I ended up not having one nor did I have a guest sign in book... I dont think it was the end of the world... I am 100% certain I received all cards that were given. The RH offered to provide me a bird cage for my cards... I said great. I honestly dont know if it got used.. You could see if they have something... But dont think its an absolute 'must have' IMO

My mother actually does not like the look of them so I will just have a bag under her tabel and we will just hand the cards to her and my aunt. I also do not want to spend any extra money.

I got this one





I'm going for this one too, but I'm thinking of getting one that is on sale. Did you get one of the 'damaged' ones that they put on sale or new? I'm curious to see the issues with the 'damaged' ones.

i am not having a cardbox. i am using the 'money sack' that my Nanny (moms mom) made when i was born. it has been used for baptism, communion, confirmation & my sweet 16 so i am definitely using it for my wedding.

I got a new one but I bought it a looong time ago when I didnt realize how expensive everything else would be. If it were now I also would not want to spend that kind of money. Is there any reviews on the 'damaged' ones?

There's one review on their site, but I haven't found anything else. I think I may just go for the 'damaged' one. If it is really bad I won't use it, but hopefully I can just fix it. I just can't spend the money on one of the new ones now.
