The Role of a Wishing Well in Modern Weddings
Weddings have always been about creating the prefect memory. Wishing wells are a simple and elegant way for guests to contribute to the big day. Since many couples already live together prior to getting married a registry doesn’t always make sense, wishing wells are the solution to receiving 3 toasters, while still feeling personal.
Why couples choose wishing wells
- Prevent multiple of the same items of unused gifts
- Simple and secure for cash or card-giving
- Keeps the aesthetic of the gift table clean and styled
- Blends tradition with modern practicality
A well styled wishing well becomes a focal point of your event and one of the easiest decisions you'll make during the planning process.

A secure, decorative card box used to collect money, cards or messages from guests during your wedding.
How do guests use a wishing well box?
Guests simply drop their envelope or card into the box, usually at the reception, near the entrance or gift table.
What size wishing well do I need?
Depending on the number of guests invited and how you want to deal with the collection of the actual guests, some couples empty the box throughout the event; this is mostly for safety reasons; others empty it at the end of the event. These two factors are extremely crucial to consider when sizing, the bigger the crowd the bigger the box would be a good rule of thumb to go by.
How soon will my wishing well be delivered?
Standard shipping: 5–10 business days. Express: 1–3 days for metro. Regional areas may take longer.
