At wedding ceremonies and receptions, it's common for the bride and groom to have a box that is used for receiving cards and gifts. Instead of placing a standard box at your wedding, you can kick things up a notch with a more unique display and design. Not only can these designs help capture the theme of your wedding, but it can showcase a little more attention and gratitude to the guests that have brought cards for gifts. The following four wedding card displays can add an extra dynamic to your wedding and are fun to plan out.

Digital Display

Instead of a basic card box, you can create a digital display that will give people more to look at as they drop off the wedding card. As people enter wedding chapels, it is typical to display a picture collage or table with images of the couple. Take things one step further by surrounding multiple sides of a wedding card box with digital picture frames. Frames that run on battery power can easily be attached to a side of a box. If the frames have audio capabilities, then you can play some of your favorite songs or record audible "Thank you" messages.

The digital frames can be used to display images of you and spouse. It's also a good idea to add some personal mentions into the picture collage. For example, as someone enters the chapel and placed a card in the display, a picture message can pop-up that says "Thank you" or "Cards" in an elegant font. You can also display other word messages like "Welcome" and "True Love." Browse for elegant script style fonts that can be used for the digital frames.

The Card Tree

Instead of letting all of the cards pile up in a random box, you can proudly showcase each and everyone on a card tree. Whether it's up against a wall or set up on a table, a card tree features extended branches and clips for the cards to be displayed. The trees can purchased in a number of different styles. You can purchase a card tree that is a flat and vertical design or a design that features a fully round tree with branches extended in multiple directions.

If your wedding revolves around a holiday, you can purchase card trees that feature different festive designs like Halloween or Christmas. Along with the clips for cards, you can add ornamental designs on the tree that reflect your wedding theme.

The Card Bearer

The ring bearer is a wedding tradition for young children, but older children can also play a role in the wedding as the card bearer. By harnessing an older child with a messenger bag, this person can stand at the front of the chapel to collect any wedding cards that you receive. If you want to take the role one step further, then you can dress the child up as a mail messenger. This includes a vintage postman hat, dress-up shirt, and khaki pants.

A sign or label on the child as the "Card Bearer" will also make it easier for guests to find and deliver the cards.

Honeymoon Luggage

Showcase the next adventure of your wedded bliss by featuring a small piece of luggage for the cards. Not only can this feature all of the cards, but it can also be used to showcase details of your honeymoon. For example, if you're going on an island getaway, the small piece of luggage can be used to feature shells and other beach decorations. A map of the honeymoon location can also be displayed in the luggage. These small details will help your guests feel like a part of the experience.
