My Guestbook - Flashy Flashy!

I finished my guest books at the weekend and I'm so chuffed! Idea is that they are filled with vintage postcards and put on each table then guests take one and write/draw on it and post it on an old American mail box (still trying to source this!) The stamp is a pic of us and the text stamp is the date and location of the wedding.

Just had to share!

(it's a vintage/travel theme)

    Great idea!

    Are you looking for an American mail box (meaning the personal ones people have outside their homes) or the post office box drops?

    You can buy a new one off the US Amazon site with shipping to the UK for the equivalent of 24-25 quid. If you want it to look vintagy/rusty, just set it outside for a few weeks. I'm sure the English weather will take care of that! http://www.amazon.com/Solar-Group-ST100000-PostMaster-Galvanized/dp/B000CSI7H8

    Wow pinpin that looks amazing. How did you get all the little details in? Amazing effort, and looks fantastic. Puts me to shame! I am just sticking a bunch of postcards on a table near the postbox and hoping everyone gets the idea. If you decide to make any for sale please let me know!

    Ooh yes please! Much better than me strewning postcards about. I never knew you could edit pdf files.

    I will pm you my email if that's ok. Thanks so much.

    Saw a few of these on ebay the other day! Can't remember the end date but worth a look still. It was about two days ago.
