Wedding Post Box help needed!!

neenaww

Advice please ladies &gents...

I've just made a postbox for our evening party celebrating our recent wedding..!

I've done it red so it's very obviously a post box...

So, should I decorate it as such, ie Royal Mail sign, collection times etc.

Or, as it's obviously a post box do I just go with a 'thanks for coming... Please put any cards in here' kinda informal sign?

Thanks in advance of your comments & ideas!! X

Yes just go for the thank you sign most people know what there for,are u having a dj? if so just get him to say any cards please place in the box and wherever its situated

I'm thinking it will go on the table with the wishing tree, cupcakes etc (I know... Large table required!) so it might also prompt people to sign the tags & decorate the tree too? I live in hope (lol!)

What did you make yours out of? It recently dawned on me that I will need somewhere for cards and recipes, but I'm not very crafty. Any suggestions ?

I'm thinking about buying something like this. We're asking for vouchers instead of gifts, so something lockable, but still kind of weddingy, would be preferable (not that I distrust any guests, just paranoid!)

I bought a white metal one off eBay as well and decorated it in our wedding colours



Really handy for keeping all the cards etc together (no issues with any slipping off the pile and under the table) and a lot easier to carry at the end of the night!

Ours just said Wedding Post Box on it - I didn't bother with a thank you. Everyone got a thank you card after the wedding.

Just one thing with the metal ones - we had about 50 cards and it was absolutely stuffed full. So depending on how many guests you have it might not be big enough...

Yes sounds like a good idea

Just a big postbox shaped box, covered in red paper and with a slot cut out! Sounds very boring but its actually quite effective! I will see if I can get a pic ...
