Use the bills as a template and cut the colored paper accordingly. To fold the butterflies you can on this video orientate. Let your creativity run free and design different butterfly patterns.

Take the wire and tie the butterflies to it. You can either use one wire per butterfly or attach several butterflies one below the other on a wire. If you want, you can also thread beads onto the wire and use them as additional embellishments.

Tape the wire to the inside of the box lid. Make sure the butterflies are securely attached. Carefully place the butterflies in the box so they can fly out when you open it.

Decorate the box to your liking. You can use ribbon, ribbons, or other decorative elements to create a festive look. Close the box with the ribbon to keep the surprise.

Money gift for the wedding: How much is appropriate?

A frequently asked question is how much money should be given as a wedding gift per person. The amount of the cash gift depends on various factors, such as your own budget, the relationship with the bridal couple and regional customs. However, there are some guidelines you can follow. In Germany, the average amount for a gift of money for a wedding is between 50 and 150 euros per person. Of course you can adjust this amount up or down, depending on your financial possibilities and the desired contribution for the bridal couple.

At a civil wedding, the gift of money is usually a little smaller than at a large wedding celebration. A reasonable amount is around 30 to 50 euros per person. Here, too, it is important to consider individual circumstances and your own budget.
