Card box or money bag?

Which one are you doing? Ever since the missing card boxes at a certain catering hall, I'm concerned about having a box out & prominently displayed..

help

Re: Card box or money bag?

So far I prefer a bird cage. Otherwise I'll be making a photo cube.

great idea to have it by the parent table. I was worried about it disapearing also. I was planning on having nothing & just letting the guests hand me their cards & then I'd pass them to my mom to hold. But I think I know of the perfect spot for the card box now.

Yup....its typically one of the most visible and highly watched places...right up front...the parental units will always keep an eye....and because its front and center....its likely nothing will happen

Sad that we even have to take these precautions though, right?

Re: Card box or money bag?

My father said whatever I have I should give to him.. Has anyone seen my dad? I should post a pic.. My father just said that the big boxes/cubes are more visable. He is willing to carry around a "bag thing" if it means it won't get stolen!

Re: Card box or money bag?

I'm using a card box. I'm a little worried about something being stolen though so I think I'll glue it shut so no one can open it and they can just put the cards in through the top.

Re: Card box or money bag?

I originally bought a money bag....When I got it, I noticed it was too small... So, I am going to get the bird cage. It is so cute...

I didn't hear of the missing card boxes at catering halls...When did that happen?
