Deep Enough For Cards
Nine inches in each direction gives the box real volume, which is what a long receiving line needs. Standard envelopes, oversized cards, gift cards and folded bills drop through the slot and lie flat at the bottom instead of jamming at the opening. The slot measures 5.9 by 0.2 inches, wide enough for a card with a photo tucked inside and narrow enough to keep the contents out of sight.
Blue With Gold Detail
School colors decide most graduation decorating, and blue is the most common of them. Classic caps, diplomas and gold accents are printed on the paper so the box works as a centerpiece in its own right, standing beside the cake or at the end of the food line. Nothing on it needs a ribbon or a sign to explain what it is for.
Arrives Pre-Folded Flat
The box ships folded so the corners do not arrive crushed, and it goes back to that state after the party. Opening it out and locking the panels takes a minute at the table, with no tape or assembly instructions to work through. Stored flat afterward it slips behind a shelf until a younger sibling graduates, which is usually only a year or two away.
Where To Set It
Position decides whether a card box gets used. Set it at the entry, where guests put their coats down, and cards go in before anyone finds the food; set it next to the guest book and the two jobs happen in one stop. Later in the evening it moves to the gift table, and the graduate opens everything in one place instead of hunting around the house.
