A wedding chest is an irreplaceable accessory where newlyweds can put all the envelopes with money presented to them. This will allow you not to lose anything and beautifully arrange the donation process itself.
What is a chest for?
Quite a frequent occurrence in the past, and even now, was and is the receipt of several identical gifts by the newlyweds. Many entered a life together with three microwaves, five vacuum cleaners and a bunch of sometimes completely unnecessary things. So it is quite logical that both guests and newlyweds, taught by bitter experience, began to give their preference to money as gifts. No matter how prosaic it may sound, a few rustling bills are able to realize all the wishes of the newlyweds in arranging a joint life, and become a pleasant bonus to a honeymoon trip.
At each wedding, the process of congratulating the newlyweds can take place in a different way. But the most traditional is a live line of guests, when each of them presents the couple with warm words and a cherished envelope.
In this case, the newlyweds find themselves in an uncomfortable position - their hands are full of envelopes that have nowhere to put, and most importantly, it is quite likely that they will be lost or forgotten somewhere. Salvation in such a situation will be the wedding chest. This is a rather capacious, but at the same time neat box, which is beautifully decorated with flowers, beads, ribbons and other decorative materials. The chest will not only fulfill its direct purpose of conveniently collecting money, but will also be a stylish accessory for your holiday. In addition, such a treasury will become one of the most pleasant reminders of the best day in life.
Where to get such a wonderful treasury? You can either buy a wedding chest in online stores with the widest assortment, or order from craftsmen, or do it yourself.
DIY chest
To make a wedding chest with your own hands, you will need the following materials:
- a capacious cardboard box - you need to take into account that envelopes with money can be of completely different sizes, and they all must fit well into it;
- high quality transparent glue or glue gun;
- lace, ribbons, satin fabric;
- crystals, beads, pearl thread, etc. for decoration;
- patience and imagination.
The box can be wrapped completely with cloth or pasted over with velvet paper. In addition, you can paste over it completely with the same beads or beads. A vignette with a photo of the newlyweds or the image of wedding rings in the middle of the cover would be very appropriate. Further design is a matter of taste and personal preference. Someone will limit themselves to one satin ribbon with a bow around the box, while someone will prefer to decorate all of it with bows, ruffles and beaded flowers.
In most cases, for the treasury, newlyweds prefer just the shape of a chest, which symbolizes prosperity and wealth. But following the pattern is not at all necessary, you can, for example, choose the shape of a heart, a birthday cake, a multi-storey building, etc.
The main thing is to take into account the color combination of the treasury and the decor of the hall, and the most important thing is that the newlyweds like it.
