The Best Wedding Card Boxes

Buying Guide for Wedding Card Boxes

Why buy a wedding card box?

Having a wedding card box is a designated place for your guests to place cards and small gifts, without the fear of gifts becoming getting lost. The box can show off your personality and match your wedding decor. These boxes are best placed in a pretty spot that is out of the way from the party.

What should you consider in a wedding card box?

• Size: Keep in mind it may be difficult to gauge how many cards you will receive, so opt for a box that is big enough for a handful but not overbearingly oversized.
• Design: Depending on your decor and personal style, there are various choices for boxes. Consider if you want one that you can see through to see all your sweet notes stacked up or ones that hide the cards.
• Slot: Consider making sure the slot will fit cards that range from normal size to slightly thicker, as many wedding cards feature fancy 3D designs.

What are the most functional wedding card box options?

It’s totally up to the happy couple how the box should be decorated, and in some cases, a box that can be reused is a fine choice. Pick a decor piece that functions as card storage but is also something you can display in your home together as a reminder of your wedding day. For example, a trinket box. Additionally, you can consider placing your wedding card box next to a wedding guest book, so it’s easy for your guests to remember to drop off their presents and sign your memory book.
