don't really want a card box... other suggestions?

I've just been thinking about the dining space in our RH, and I think I've concluded that I don't want a card box -- is that weird? Are there other alternatives?

I don't want a card box either my MOh suggested a 'money bag' instead

A birdcage, a mailbox and maybe just a regular bridal bag where you stuff the cards into.

ooo I love this!!! I like how understated it is (and reusable). Think guests will know it's a money box? I guess if we put a few votives around it and a small arrangement.....

do exactly that and then when people see you put a card into it they will know exactly what it is, plus people will be going up to it looking at all the pictures so they will ask about it...
The nice feature on it is the lock, so its safe and you dont have to worry about people trying to jack your cards....

we used a birdcage as well... the only thing i will warn you about that is that a few of the envelopes fell out as we carried it out of the RH and into the hotel where we stayed that night.... its weird b/c we didnt want to sit there at the end of the reception, unlock the birdcage and scramble to organize all the envelopes. thankfully, all the envelopes were there!!

ETA: the birdcage you have looks like it will secure the envelopes better than mine did!!

If I decide on a birdcage, I could perhaps intertwine some ribbon through the bottom/sides to keep envelopes from slipping through...?

My brother did a mailbox that was hand painted with flowers and their last name. It was really pretty.

hmm... the bottom shouldnt be an issue - just the sides... if the ribbon is REALLY thick, you should be fine!!

or you could buy one like the poster i quoted above me bought b/c it has mesh on the inside and it looks like it will keep the envelopes in there good!

ours looked like a literal birdcage

originally, i liked the idea of a birdcage, but then i wondered 'what if envelopes slip out?' ...i'm thinking of doing a photocube on a lazy susan. a friend of mine did this for her wedding and it was awesome.
