Reddit mentions of Wilton Reception Gift Card Holder - Gift Shaped

I used this card box for $25 for my wedding - it has a card slot and a little heart-shaped padlock to keep the lid shut. Then we painted the bow and the card slot to match our wedding colors like this so the card slot would be more visible.

We also preferred money, but living in the South we were told that just asking for cash is frowned upon and would likely lead to people giving us housewares that we didn't really need. We signed up through Honeyfund.com and created a page explaining to people that since we had consolidated our households earlier in the year, we really didn't need any of the traditional wedding gifts and would prefer for people to help pay for our honeymoon. We also pointed out that we were paying for the wedding ourselves. Then we just noted on our invites and wedding website that we were registered at Honeyfund.com.

Most people just donated online, but we put up a wishing well at the reception for those who preferred to give cash or check. We bought this wishing well on Amazon, and it was fantastic. Looked great with the rest of our decor and had a lock on it to prevent stealing. We also put a few fake cards in there so people knew what it was for, and we placed a sign next to it that read, "For your cards and gifts - THANK YOU!"

We ended up financing most of our honeymoon this way, and I'd say 90% of our guests donated to the Honeyfund. Some people tried to convince me to make a traditional registry "just in case", but I'm glad I didn't because I bet a lot more people would have just used that instead. The few "actual" gifts that we got were all very personalized things that we never would have thought to ask for in a registry, so that was actually very nice (handmade things like personalized aprons, embroidered pillows, etc). Oh, and wine, which I'm never going to turn down!
