Are you finding creative use for the endless stream of gift boxes?

I saved some for toting things to and from the wedding venue and some for packing up things I will want to keep. I’ve also recycled two into our “guest book card” box and the box for cards at the gift table.
The rest though, are getting recycled as fast as they can pick it up (which is not nearly fast enough!).

i agree as far as using them as part of the wedding or to store things you are keeping from the wedding. =)

We’re moving in a few months so we are saving all the gift boxes and mailing boxes to use for packing.

We reused all of the boxes when we moved three months after the wedding. If you plan to move anytime soon, they will really come in handy when the time comes. Especially the packing peanuts!

(Fortunately we had a basement storage unit at our old apartment that started out empty, but quickly filled with empty boxes!)

ooh, I have those too! Couldn’t wait for the wedding to use them. Made hubby put the boxes in the attic while shaking his head in disbelief.
