Mailbox Cardbox

October 24th, 2006 @ 3:33 pm by Mrs. Bee

Recently I saw a magazine layout where wedding guests filled out vintage post cards with well wishes and advice, and placed them inside a vintage mailbox. The mother of the bride then mailed one of the post cards each day so the bride and groom would receive a daily message from each of their wedding guests. I loved the idea and was reminded of it when Apartment Therapy featured Mahvelous Mailboxes on their site yesterday.

Mahvelous Mailboxes carries a huge selection of mailboxes from your basic rural mailbox ($39-$79) to a whimsical fire truck mailbox ($299).

You can use a mailbox as your money box/card holder and/or as a receptacle for wishes from your wish card table. And after the wedding, you can even use it as your actual mailbox!

Good idea in theory, but not very practical. I’ve heard so many horror stories about card/money theft. Better to use something that’s much harder for any prying hands to access….

What a great idea. I get what WeezerMonkey is saying too about prying hands. How about a locking mailbox like one of these: http://www.mailboxworks.com/locking-mailboxes.html ? Either way, I think this is still such a cute idea.
I just had a basket at my wedding and everyone threw their cards and checks in it. Thankfully none got stolen, I hope, but a mailbox to put them in would have been so cool!
