Wedding card box - a decorative and practical place for money gifts
It is a tradition that guests invited to a wedding present gifts to the newlyweds while offering their congratulations. Over the years, these gifts have taken various forms. A few decades ago, envelopes with money were quite rare. Guests usually bought the newlyweds essential household items such as washing machines, irons, bedding, sets of pots, or tableware. Today, such gifts still happen, although much less frequently than in the past. Most often, the bride and groom are given money along with a greeting card. The dilemma for guests, however, is how much to put in that proverbial envelope. There is no right answer to this question, as it depends on the guests' financial situation, as well as their relationship with the couple. It is generally accepted that close family is more generous than distant relatives or acquaintances.
Wedding card box - is it necessary?
The act of handing over envelopes should be done elegantly. One of the best solutions is a wedding card box. It is a decorative and practical storage container for wedding gifts. Thanks to it, no envelope will go missing. It looks very decorative and can be matched to the style of the ceremony. It is certainly an interesting accessory when the newlyweds are receiving congratulations.
Who should put the envelopes in the box?
The best man or maid of honor can place the envelopes handed over by guests into the box themselves. Alternatively, guests can place the gifts into the box on their own. Each of these options is a good solution. A wedding card box will also streamline the gift-giving process, which sometimes drags on significantly—mainly because the newlyweds have nowhere to put the envelopes they receive. If there are not many invited guests, this is obviously not a noticeable problem, but when the number is large, time is of the essence. In such a case, it is worth focusing on good organization for this part of the ceremony.
Wedding card box - which one to choose?
The selection of wedding card boxes is vast, and their cost is not high. Weddings are planned well in advance, which is why most couples take care of every detail. You can choose a gift box that, due to its aesthetics, will match your wedding invitations, the bride's bouquet, or the color scheme of the reception hall. You can opt to order a personalized box that includes information about the newlyweds and the wedding date. The choice of the box should depend on the personal preferences of the couple. However, boxes that are stylistically matched to the rest of the decorations, including those that guests will find in the reception hall, will look interesting. Graphics matching those on the place cards, bottle tags, or guest favors will certainly make an impression. Besides, you must remember that every detail on this most important day is important, and it is worth creating a beautiful, festive whole.
