Years ago it was not UN common for the bride and grooms to hand collect cards at their wedding reception and place them in a money bag. Because giving money as a gift at weddings has grown so much over recent years, in 2010 most bride and grooms now have a wedding money box at their wedding reception to hold the cards and money brought by their guests. Often the Wedding Money Box is placed on a small table next to the wedding gift table making it easy for your guests to find it. The Perfect Card Box by Kelly Marie Collections is a beautiful card box that will hold all your wedding cards plus it locks so your cards will be safe throughout the night.
Wedding Money Box / Wedding Money Boxes
According to wedding statistics in 2010 almost 80% of your wedding guests will bring you a greeting card with money or a gift card in it instead of an actual wrapped wedding gift. This trend has grown over the years, making it very important to have the right wedding money box at your reception. As you can imagine the amounts of money placed in the greeting cards as a wedding gift could be substantial and so it is very important that the card box you select has a lock. Of course it is nice to have an attractive wedding money box but the most important part of any wedding money box today would be that it has a lock on it. If 80% of the people that come to your wedding will bring you money, safety of these cards is very important.
Locking Wedding Money Box
We hear stories all the time from brides about wedding crashers and them having their cards and money stolen from their wedding money boxes. If your wedding reception is going to be held at a banquet hall where many other weddings receptions will be going on at the same time it is always a good idea to have someone from your wedding party keep an eye on your wedding money box and your gift table. It won't be a guest from your wedding that is looking to steal the wedding cards with money it will be a stranger that is looking for a UN attended wedding card box to steal. The last thing you want is your wedding day ruined because someone took your wedding cards and money right out of your wedding money box.
