Wedding guests show up for reception carrying gifts in either monetary or tangible form. For the former they deliver the envelopes with cash, cheque or gift certificate. For the latter, they carry boxes or gift bags. All the treasure is being put on the gift table for display purpose. Envelopes may be put in the slotted box (piggy-bank) or a fancy bird cage, which goes on the same table, unless bride and groom take it away for security.
All you need is patience. Let all the gifts, or at least most of them to get collected. It may happen during receiving line or cocktail hour.
Start shooting at one end of the gift table and keep rolling panning camera slowly towards another end. Give few close-ups of the most spectacular details. Use you camera light if necessary.
