21 Ways to Set Up a Card or Gift Table at Your Wedding

You've put together an amazing wishlist of items you know you'll love. Now, it's time to figure out how you'll collect the presents your guests purchase. Many modern registry services let buyers send gifts directly to the couple, and even if that's not an option for you, well-wishers who have your address might anyway. That being said, it's never a bad idea to prepare to receive presents in person at the wedding itself. Whether somebody just didn't get the memo or simply prefers to hand-deliver the gift, it'll be awkward if they aren't sure what to do with it once they arrive on the big day. So, we recommend designating an area of your event space for this purpose. Here, we're offering some pretty and creative ways to accept presents at your celebration. While a standard wedding gift table is certainly an option, it's just the start.

If someone's bringing something to the wedding, it's probably a card. In turn, we've rounded up some unique ideas for where to have guests put their envelopes. Our suggestions range from modern glass boxes (like this one planned by Ashley Gain Weddings) to vintage-themed receptacles, so you can be sure there's something included to match your event's theme. Celebrants might also bring bigger gifts, so we've featured suggestions for that, too. Those include plenty of decorating inspiration for tables, wagons, and more.
