One way you can store your wedding cards is to put them into a card box. This one would be different from your wedding card box and more of the size of a shoe box or smaller.



There are many ways you can organize this box such as putting dividers in so you can store all the cards you received or putting a label on it indicating what is inside. Revisit them on your anniversary over some leftover wedding cake you put into the freezer.

2. Guest Book

Sometimes we pay for a wedding guest book and all the pages are not filled. Use the extra pages to glue the wedding cards inside. Since words of wisdom and advice are usually in these cards, this is the perfect spot to place them with the added bonus of them not taking up space. Personally, this is the way I am going to organize my wedding cards.

3. Wedding Card Scrapbook
