Money Bag, Card Box, Neither or Both?

Trying to figure this out as we speak. Did you use a money bag, card box, neither or both? I'm hoping if I do one, I don't have to do the other...but not sure which guests (or you) preferred.

Thanks for your help!

I used one of those big paper gift bags (you know what I'm talking about?) and left it on a table behind the sweetheart table. If people gave me a card I'd throw it in there and some people just left their cards in there for us.

We had a card box - I just held onto the envelopes I got and made sure to put them in the box every so often (and not on a table or something )

We had a card box, it was nice not having to carry anything around. Most people put their card right in the box!

Re: Money Bag, Card Box, Neither or Both?

one of my bridesmaids loaned me her card bag from her wedding - then i forgot to bring it on the wedding day...

the harbor club stapled a bunch of napkins together and it worked great -- i had my grandmother hold the bag for the night - she is not very mobile so she felt like she was helping in just keeping an eye on the cards for me. she was happy to help!!
