Security
The best way to ensure no thievery occurs on your wedding day is actually to leave the gift table out in the open. This way, you and your trusted wedding party can keep an eye on the goods all night. Thieves are much less likely to strike when they know they will get caught! It is also advisable to use a card box that locks or only has a small slit for envelopes.

Transport
The last thing a newlywed will feel like doing at the end of the night is lugging a table of gifts from the venue to your car. Plan for a member of the wedding party to transport the gifts home. This takes the weight off of your shoulders so you can relax after a crazy day.

Thank You Cards
After the wedding and gift table comes the thank you cards. These can get tedious, especially when hand-writing each card. Make the cards sweet and simple by using casual wording, mentioning their gift and how you plan to use it, and expressing plenty of gratitude. Sit down with a cup of coffee or glass of wine and you will get through them in no time, promise.

Every wedding needs a gift table for guests to drop their gifts. Just because gift tables are necessary, doesn’t mean they can’t act as a gorgeous part of your overall decor!
