wedding post box?

Hi Amzie

We sell them in all shapes and sizes BUT a friend of mind recently got married and did a lot of her own preps inc the post box.

She got an old fashioned, battered suitcase and decorated it with all sorts of nostalgia (both her and her OH have lost their mom so she put old photos of them on there), she did the something old etc on there and decorated it with fairy lights. To keep the theme, rather than spend money on a guest book, she bought luggage tags and asked people to write on those and also leave them in the suitcase.

Obviously I will not mind if you wish to look and purchase from me lol but If you are cost saving the above is one idea

My dads a postman... and proud! So we hired one of the old red royal mail post boxes. It was £35.00 but I have to collect it and drop it off. Its a red one.

We've not got a gift list we just asked for money to put towards our deposit for a new home.

Look on ebay they have some on there and you can get some ideas ?

Have a search on ebay for "wedding post box" - loads on there, most popular option that we see is the ivory cardboard type, decorated with the couples names & wedding date. Really easy to decorate yourself ?

I've ordered this on esty... Can't wait for it to arrive. You put pictures in yourself, so I can use this for years to come... Children's birthday parties, anniversaries, christenings.

maybe years down the line my own children will use it at their wedding. (Lol I know I'm taking it too far now but I love this box so much)

I've thought about all those questions myself over the past few months - and over a post box as you say!?

So, to avoid the is it too big / too small and to keep the costs down I've decided to go with a wicker picnic type basket (already lined) and to get some wooden / cardboard letters spelling 'cards' to go infront of it.

This sounds perfect, and then you have a nice wedding box to store all those bits that you want to keep, like spare invites, fovour boxes, ect

I made a card box for my BIL & SIL for their wedding. I ordered a plain ivory card box from ebay and decorated it with ribbon and butterflies to match their theme and printed a little plaque to put on the front with their names, wedding date and a little thank you. Cost around £15.

For my wedding I am lining a wicker hamper with leftover fabric from making our bunting and hanging a little cards sign on the lid.

When i was looking i heard horrible stories about people targeting weddings and stealing wedding cards out of un-secured post boxes, this got me really nervous, so i got one made which has a screwed bottom to it and im also placing some candles in vases on the top as added security. It is clear perspex (quite modern).

My other half is a joiner so he is making ours and I will be decorating it. We are having something like this.
I will buy wooden letters off ebay and stick them on it and then paint over them. It will have a lockable door at the back

This is one of the reasons I chose the box I did, it lockable! Not foolproof I know but gives a little bit of extra security.

I made this for ours. Going to suspend the bunting over it on sticks or something.

I really want the Royal Mail style one but not sure I can fork out on something so trivial or be bothered to collect and rent it from anywhere a few days before the wedding!

Using our mailbox. We ordered a new one with the surname on and our wedding date is the same as our house number. So it will be used again!

Love this! Where I have ordered mine and paid deposit I can't seem to hear back from them, what's this one called on the easy site?x

Without wanting to say our post boxes are fantastic.. they are If you're looking for a "bling" look they're the ones for you..

My granny and aunt were postladies and we have sadly lost both of them - we are hiring a postbox as a nod to them on the day

I offer personlised card post boxes.

They are roughly 50cm x 50cm.

Take a look at my fb page - link below - and if you like what you see, drop me a message.

This seems to be an old post dragged up again with people advertising!

The decision to have a post box can really enhance the experience for your guests! It's a thoughtful touch that shows attention to detail. Regarding size, I'd suggest a moderate size to accommodate various card sizes without looking too imposing. When it comes to costs, you have options – from budget-friendly to custom designs. DIY decoration can be a fun project and potentially cost-effective too! Wishing you a wonderful event!

Yeah You're right

Hey there! It's totally normal to have a bunch of questions when considering a post box. They're not just for cards—some guests might use them for gifts too. As for size, aim for something practical but not overwhelming; you want it to fit the vibe of your event. You can always decorate a plain one to match your theme if you're worried about cost. As for where to get one, check out ibexpackaging.com for better options. As for what they say, it's usually something simple like "Cards" or "Well Wishes," but feel free to personalize it! Don't stress too much over it—it's all about making it work for you. Hope this helps!
