Hi its £25-£30 ive gone my eye on one on ebay at the mo so keep your fingers crossed for me i know ive already bought one of the cardboard ones but can sell that on decorated on my business page on FB plus once i get mine if i do i can hire it out locally:)

To keep safe any cards that guests may bring. Better than just being plonked on a table, or worse, various tables!

i brought one from ebay- just a plain box as i was going to decorate it-
i decided against it and ended up just having a pressie/card table in the reception- and at 10pm me, best man and groom took al the pressies and cards up to my room for safekeeping

althoughi really love the royal mail box idea- but couldnt find one for under 40quid so decided against it

a hassle but it would probably retain its resale value
so its more like a rental

But evening guests will bring cards after the speeches. Don't worry - this board is full of great ideas to keep you up to date!!

I was wondering the same thing. Ive never heard of half the wedding stuff that goes on nowadays. I thought the cards were just given to the best man to read out after his speech? I am sooo out of touch with "modern" weddings.

lol Yeah just keeps the cards safe and in one place,at my mums wedding the cards were read out but she didnt have loads of people for the meal just very close family so werent loads to read out,on the evening u invite so many more people so best to go somewhere safe then u can sort through them when ready,plus if they have vouchers/money in u definetly dont want them lying around

I've been meaning to post on here for a while relating to this - we bought an american mail box for ours and i'm planning to put it on ebay soon, but i thought i'd offer it on here first. It's a silver metal standard american mail box, i can take a picture if you're interested. We cleaned it before use and it was in pretty good nick, looked amazing on the day!

Send me a PM if you're interested.
