Frequently asked questions

A wedding post box is a place for your guests to leave their well wishes, cards and gifts. It can be a great centrepiece on a table where you can also display your guest book and add a Polaroid camera for guests to capture some fun shots.

You can hire amazing life-size and miniature Royal Mail-style post boxes or DIY your own post box. Some unique ideas include a vintage suitcase, a photo frame card box, a wicker hamper card box, a candle lantern card box, a vintage milk churn post box, a VW camper van post box and a beach hut post box.

It is customary and proper etiquette for the bride to carry a small satin draw-string bag around her wrist or something that goes with her theme. The newlyweds then go to every table and personally thank each guest, and the guests hand over their gift envelopes which the bride places in her bag.

Some simple and short wedding wishes include "Congratulations to a wonderful couple", "Best wishes on your wedding day", "Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness" and "Here's to a long and happy marriage".

If you have a close relationship with the couple and want to write something funny in their wedding card, you could say "Well done on finding that one person you want to annoy for the rest of your life", "Marriage is a rollercoaster ride. May you have more ups than downs and more laughs than screams" or "Here's to not getting pregnant on the honeymoon!".
