post boxes

Some people have a vintage suitcase which looks quite nice. What's your theme ??

We're hiring one like this:

I don't really know if its a theme, i was originally going for vintage hence the birdcage but its more of a candle light romantic thing, mirror/reflective candle light and a few flowers.

I like both those ideas! how much does it cost to hire the post box?

There's some lovely ones about. That one there is lovely Gemma

Rach, what company are you hiring the post box from? I prefer the rectangular ones instead of the round ones but I'm struggling to find one (short of pinching one from a road side!! *joke*)

I am also looking for a red postbox so if anyone knows or is hiring one can you please let me know i am in the Berkshire area

Thank you

Hiya,

WE're hiring it from my OH friends wife who has just set up a business hiring out wedding bits. It's costing us £30 but think that may be mates rates. I have seen them for about £60 hire cost with £100 deposit incase it gets trashed lol.

I am having this from http://www.yourweddingpostbox.co.uk/

I've just looked them up, and they charge £60 just to HIRE? and £300 to buy?! I'm sorry, but I couldn't justify that, when I could just use one of my magazine baskets from the lounge with a DIY cards sign on it. It looks nice, but so not worth the price tag, imo.

I see your point on the cost for some people, but for us in the bigger picture of what we're spending £60 makes no difference. Not to sound snobby or like we are massively rich (we aren't), but when you're spending close on 3k for food and drinks for everyone then £60 is a drop in the ocean! It is a feature we both wanted - we originally met at our local post office, so we really wanted the classic red post box as a part of our day.

If we hadn't had an attachment to the post box, I would be using the venue's lockable heavy duty storage box they provide, or DIY-ing one of those vintage style suitcases.

Mine was cardboard I got got it made froma HIB on here, it was lovely it was £30 I think, I cant think which HIB it was now. Here it is anyway..

Filoftus - I have one to hire and hire out to Surrey, Hampshire and Berkshire. It is £35.00 to hire and I can also deliver for a small fee.

Please do get in touch and we can have a chat.
