Re: How many of you had?
We had a e-party but it was at my parents house in a tent so we put the gifts inside in my parents room. It was also raining that day and we didn't want them to get wet. We had a small shopping bag that we put the cards into. Just be VERY careful because people sometimes just put cards down on a gift table and they wind up getting lost so maybe getting a pretty basket and setting it on the table....

My best friend had an E party where she received lots of actual gifts (from their registry)
She had a table set up for them all...

We had one and we had a gift table set up. We recieved about half money and half gifts. I would not leave the envelopes on the gift table though without being in some sort of holder (birdcage, mailbox, etc.). You never know what could happen : ). Good Luck!!!

We're not sure if we're going to have one. IF we do it'll be small, probably a BBQ in the spring or summer.

We had one. The gift table was behind John & my table and we were given a small locked mailbox by the hall.

We had one, the restaurant gave us a table for the gifts. We were kind of clueless, so we left the envelopes on the gift table as well. Lucky for us they were still there when we left

I had an e-party. As I didn't want people to think we 'expected' gifts we didn't have a gift table. We put them off to the side in another room. I gave the envelopes to my Grand Ma to guard.

We didn't even anticipate gifts... so when people started showing up with gifts in hand, we just placed them on a window-sill type thing...

I had an E-Party and we had a table with a 'wish bowl' and some pictures of us set up and that sort of turned into the gift table.... We started to get so many gifts and had nowhere else to put them....

Re: How many of you had?
I had never thought about anyone giving me gifts until the maitre d asked me about it.. they had a table set up in the cocktail and in the reception room.. the maitre d recommended that we make up a wrapped box with a slot for guests to put the cards in..

Exactly what Marcella said is what I am doing. Here is a pic of a box I would LIKE to do for our card box.
