@Jenn – great point. Actually I was thinking about it..and these cards would have to be pretty large to stand up in the drawers. But your idea of having more than one to split the alphabet would be a great idea to make it more manageable for guests!

I still like the idea of having the large board filled with little cards with the names of the guests on them. Guess that allows more than one person to look at it at a time and take their card when they see their name.

Really starting to think about using this box in the home instead now!

My favourite idea is to use it as a seating chart, but be cautious about creating a big line-up of guests waiting to rifle through the index cards…Perhaps pickup a few more and split the alphabet into more categories?

Similar to the candy box idea, you could place guest favors (if you are having them) in the box for people to pick up on their way out at the end of the evening.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions!!

The only thing is..I already have a guestbook…and it’s pretty awesome so I don’t want to get rid of it. (will post about it soon).

@ChiCat – I totally didn’t think about people possibly taking a gift card from the box…I guess I’m trust people easily! But thanks I’ll note that.

Hey Melissa!
I like the idea of using it for the guests to drop their cards into…if you just leave them open with some envelopes inside, I’m sure people will catch on!
Or, you could have your guests write their well wishes on a piece of cardstock and have them drop it in the box?
Love them by the way!

You could use them as part of a candy bar. Each box could be labeled with you and your fiancee’s favorite candies, and have them stored within so guests can scoop out at their leisure. You can have this on your own, or as part of a larger display. :)

I like the guest box idea…each guest can write you a message on a card for you and you can use this as double duty afterwards for storage and holding any wedding pictures of guests too!!

I like the guest book/wish card idea or the seating chart. Personally, I wouldn’t use it for gift cards/checks because if you don’t find some way to keep it closed, anyone can just walk up and take them. And if you do keep it closed (using glue or something) then you don’t get to appreciate the beautiful pattern on the sides, which just might be my favorite part :)

My vote is for seating chart, decor or wish cards (like a guest book, but guests fill out a card of well wishes and it’s a bit more personal than a guestbook).
