So my grandmother made me a money bag which is a very traditional way to collect cards. I am not sure if I should also have some kind of card box as well? Part of me feels like a card box is kind of like asking for gifts. I know that many guests who attend weddings esp in the NY area tend to bring cards to weddings, but for some reason I just feel kind of funny about it. Does anyone else feel this way? What are you planning to do?
Also, we are staying in a hotel the night of the wedding. Our DOC suggested we bring a duffel bag to transport the cards in a not so obvious way. Do you think it's safe to bring the cards to the hotel? I am starting to wonder if it's a lot of money to have in a hotel room.

Re: Money Bag or Card Box???
we will be doing a card box, probably a DIY or we'll decorate a premade box with shells and such. i like the idea of bringing a duffle bags to transport the cards, thats smart. your hotel room should have a safe for the money. i want the cards with us that night, i do not want to put that responsibility on anyone else. ~lacey

I think I will do a card box as a DIY project. I don't like the money bag idea personally.

I have to agree too. In the past few years all the weddings I have attended, which have been a few all had card boxes. I guess it is more modern. My grandmother had no clue about it neither did my mom. I personally like the box idea and plan on doing a photo cube but who knows I am not too crafty so I may go with a e-bay bought cardbox at the last minute. I also am a person who says 'whatever you like' who cares if it is a box, bag, or truck that holds your cards as long as you are happy
