Snarky Bride Opinion?
I'm a self admitted lurker, sometimes poster. I like the snarky girls the most.
Simple question:
Gift card holder? Anyone doing one? No one ever did those back in the day, just curious about people's opinions.

You should ask BecW2be for great DIY options for card boxes. If I remember correctly, she had some pretty amazing stuff for her wedding.

My MOH and her mom gave us some kind of box that looked like a well, I guess they call it a wishing well. Where the "water" would go was where you put the cards and the top was covered. It was cheesy looking, but whatever, it got the job done. Plus it really meant a lot to them to have it since her mom made it (and she used to be my stepmom, so I wanted to make her happy).
Like PP said, I'd recommend having one just so that people know where to put the card they bring, and people will bring cards. A card box might also help prevent someone stealing some of your cards.

And betrothed, I'm disgusted with most of the comments that you have posted. I don't think I've ever read such judgmental comments in my life. I'm so lucky that the girls I speak to on theknot are nothing like you...I would've never come on here for ADVICE if I would've encountered a big a bitch as you. I genuinely feel awful for your children or your future children, and I think it would be irresponsible of YOU not to invest in their future therapy sessions starting now. Because trust me when I tell you honey, they're gonna need it. ~jcaruncho2010

OP, I'd do this, then add some sharks with frickin laser beams attached to their frickin heads, and NO ONE will be swiping your cards.

I decorated a box to look like a gift with a slot on top for the cards.
It was a nice way to show some of our e-pics at the wedding.
We'll just not tell H about this little fact, m'kay?

I need a thumbs up button SO BAD.
I never understood the card stealing. I'm not inviting anyone who would steal a card. I'm not booking a questionable venue. Maybe I'm just naive. Is card stealing a real problem?

Yes it is. It's not typically guests you invite that try to steal your cards. It's usually guests from another function occurring in the same venue at the same time, or a venue employee.

Ok. I see. That's really shitty.

I personally think the "card box being stolen" stories are largely apocryphal.

You know, i didn't think about people stealing, i thought more about losing them. If people hand them to me, they would be fine. But i think if they handed to my FI, he would put them down somewhere and have no clue.
I would like to put some freakin' sharks with laser beams on them. Instead, maybe i'll just have some ill-tempered eels.
Not really any snark!

I wonder if there's a way I could incorporate a shark with a frickin' laser beam attached to it's head to guard it.

Wow! That sounds intense! I'd like to see a picture of that.
