How Do You Collect<\/em> Wedding Cards On The Day?<\/h2>\n

To collect wedding cards, the best way to do so is to create a card table or post box<\/strong>. That way guests know exactly where to leave their cards or gifts and they can be kept safe.<\/p>\n

How Do You Display<\/em> A Card Box At A Wedding?<\/h2>\n

The best way to display a wedding card box is to give it a table<\/strong>! You can pop your post box alongside other similar details such as your guest book. Be sure to place your wedding post box table in a visible location so guests can spot it. Keep the table area with plenty of space for guests to walk around it.<\/p>\n

Do consider keeping your card or gift table in a safe, secure place<\/strong> where your venue or a loved one can keep an eye on it. It’s best to keep it further back from the exit if you have high-value items and the general public is able to access the table. You could also ask someone to take away cards and gifts at intervals to store them securely during the day\/evening festivities.<\/p>\n

It’s also a good idea to think about possible damage from drinks, so it may be useful to keep cards and gifts away from the bar area.<\/p>\n

Do You Need<\/em> A Wedding Card Box?<\/h2>\n

There are no rules when it comes to wedding planning. You definitely do not need a wedding card box<\/strong>. If you aren’t expecting cards and gifts or have asked not to have them, feel free not to have one.<\/p>\n

It is an important thought to think about where guests will put cards<\/strong> and gifts if you don’t provide a box or table. Will they hand them to you directly, and will you have somewhere to put them? Perhaps you won’t want to be sorting this during the dancefloor action or in the middle of your drinks reception.<\/p>\n

The great thing about a wedding post box is it’s pretty much self-service.<\/p>\n

What Can You Do With A Wedding Card Box After<\/em> The Day?<\/h2>\n

If you don’t hire your wedding card box from a wedding decor hire company, then it’s a great idea to consider it’s future home. Here are some ideas on what to do with your box after the wedding:<\/p>\n
