Praulia Tip #7 ⠀
⠀
Ask your venue if they have a safe you can put your cards in midway through the event or designate someone to take care of the gifts & cards. ⠀
⠀
Your guests thoughtfully and generously have given you a gift. You won't want that to walk away unexpectedly! Especially if your venue is a public space. ⠀
⠀
Trust us, we have seen it happen before.
