How to Decorate a Bird Cage Money Holder
Wedding etiquette dictates that guests give presents to the newly married couple, unless otherwise specified. While you may already have a gift table, you need a place to hold smaller gifts, such as cards and money. A decorative bird cage may be set on the gift table at the wedding reception as the place to put cards or money for the newlyweds. The wide slots around the cage allow for guests to put these gifts into the cage easily. Use a cage that you can decorate yourself to make it tie in with your wedding theme.

Decorate the cage with your wedding theme and colors in mind. You can even take a white bird cage and paint it to match your wedding theme exactly. For example, if one of your colors was a pale yellow, paint the cage a pale yellow with spray paint.
