wow thats terrible!!! it makes me nervous now to have a card box displayed at my own wedding. I guess i will have to ask my MOH to keep an eye on it the entire night!
OMG that stinks!! Funny cause we were just talking about it last night....i just finished mine and my dad was like, 'no card box - you get a bag and carry it on your wrist all night!' LOL I guess he's right!
FH fell in love with this glass card box he saw when we met with RH coordinator, so he ordered it for us......should i be worried???? its not that big......
I've heard of this happeneing before. So sad!!! My mom had gotten a bird cage type thing for our cards and DH's mom said it wasn't safe to do that here. So DH's grandma made us a money pouch bag that she guarded with her life the entire night.
I would go with the money pouch. not just because of the safety, but I really want to be able to thank everyone personally for coming. The only way I see that I will be able to do that is when they come up to me with envelopes.

girls be very very careful
A million years ago at my brothers wedding a guest walked into the mens room where the best man was opening my brothers envelopes. My brother had given them to him to hold, after all it was his bestman and best friend for over 25 years.
No one but myself or FH will be intrusted with such things.

He was stealing the money??!!! OMG!!! What did they do>???
I had a satin money bag, and when I wasn't carrying it, my dad had it with him at his table. He kept an eye on it and so did two of his friends.
That is horrible. I actually never gave it a thought. I was planning to make my own big card box, but now i am scared too!

That is horrible! Someone my family knows had someone follow the parents (who had the card box home) and robbed them at gun point. I think its a good idea to have someone you trust near by it all the time and when it comes time to taking the envelopes put it in a black bag so it looks like your leaving with junk (its what we did for my brothers wedding)
our place made our 'go to person' sit at the gift table and sign their name to a safe in the hotel. Only myself and that person had access to the safe. i thought it was a bit drastic but i guess not; they must have had problems in the past
This is why I am happy that at Majestic Gardens they have a bird cage there with a lock on it ..... and can only be opened at the end of the night by us !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've heard horror stories of this happending too thats why I always give checks for monetary gifts.... unfortunately it really could be anybody with vendors and waiters, etc walking throughout.
