Where to Store Gift Cards for a Wedding
This post may contain affiliate links which won't change your price but will share some commission. Read more here.Last fall was a blur for me: taking our oldest son to college and preparing for our daughter’s wedding. Lots of emotions and crafting and planning and doing. After the wedding I was just plain tired! Now that I’ve recouped (okay, maybe it didn’t take me almost a year) I wanted to share some of the crafty details of the wedding. This was before my daughter, niece and I joined Pinterest and it was probably a good thing! We would have been up to our eyeballs in projects and not enough time ! As it was, we stretched the budget and the day was amazing.
We wanted to figure out where to store gift cards for a wedding reception in one location. Rachel originally wanted to use a mail box (and I got one free off Freecycle), but she changed her mind. After searching the internet I found many ways to display money and cards, including: a picture frame idea, a wedding cake box, a bird cage holder and a glass wedding card box.
We ended up using a treasure box that Rachel bought for a couple of dollars at a yard sale. My niece printed up the graphics, circle punched and attached with ribbon. I think it’s an adorable idea.
This would be a great idea for any party or special event where you need a centralized location for gifts and cards.
Any of you moms (or brides) out there looking for wedding ideas? What are your biggest obstacles to the wedding of your dreams?

I love wooden boxes of all kinds. I like that this one looks like a little trunk. 🙂

Such a cute idea! Would be great at an older girls birthday too! Thanks so much for partying with us at Link It Up Thursday.:)
Marty,
This is a wonderful idea. It would work for those special birthdays too where people might get monetary gifts (18th & 21st). Thank you so much for sharing at Creative Thursday this week. I can’t wait to see what you link up next week. Have a wonderful weekend 🙂

Cute idea! Thank you for sharing your project at Potpourri Friday!
Great idea! I didn’t discover Pinterest until about a month after I got married, and it probably was a really good thing or I would have been overwhelmed! Thanks for sharing at The Fun In Functional!
Really cute idea. Those banners seem to be popping up everywhere nowadays. I’ve seen a ton of mantles using them…
Saw you on Primp – newest follower: me

Thanks for sharing!
I wish I would’ve seen this before my wedding… :)) I was so excited for my wedding, i forgot to get one of these… I don’t even remember where people put their cards… :))))
