I would deffenatly get like 3 hat boxes or even 3 square boxes and decorate them like a cake with ribbon, pearls, flowers or whetever from Michales. I think It would look great nd then you can sell it on E-Bay to one of us. LOL

OH Don't cry...dry your eye....Hey listen, honestly as a nice as a card box of any shape or form looks, - it's gonna be a real hassle carrying it home. I would just get a nice large white money bag, and stuff them all in there and this way it's easy to take home as well..

What happened to that cake card box, someone had sent you to order via online for $15.00 from the lillian vernon website?

I got a money bag at party city (beautiful one) for $10.00 on clearance. I just think they're safer.

I think Linda's Lovelies, in East Meadow, rents that stuff (birdcage, mailbox, hatbox, etc). Her prices may be better. 1-866-bride00.

Good luck!

I agree with the money bag idea. Actually, I think I saw my money bag once that night, because I felt weird going around to my guests with a bag on my wrist that basically said 'now is the time you give me money'. lol.

We had Grandma watch our bag, because she wasn't going to get up and dance at all.

Try www.lillianvernon.com. I think (not sure) they were selling them.

Good luck.
