[bholthof]

FINALLY!!!

 

We finished our message in a bottle/boarding pass invites. The formal invitation is the "message in a bottle" and the boarding passes are the RSVP card and information about the resort. I think they turned out great

 

I took a LOT of ideas from this forum - and I give full credit to those brides who's ideas I borrowed. Thank you all so much!!

 

All the bottles:

 

Close up of the charms on the bottles - there is also a sand dollar one and some smaller starfish and fishes.

 

 

Supplies for in the bottles (minus the sand)

 

 

Formal invite + wording : Thanks to whoever on here I stole the wording from

 

 

Complete boxed invite:

Boarding Passes: Again, thanks so much for the template ladies - it was great!

 

Boarding Pass Travel Info:

 

Boarding Pass Accomodations Info:

 

Boarding Pass Return Ticket:

 

Sticky on the box so people would actually open the darn things -this was taken from the girl who posted earlier today about her MIB invites - and its definitely a necessity for MIB invitations - nobody wants to actually OPEN them!! lol! So thank you for the idea!

 

Final product!!

 

Ready for mailing!

 

Haven't mailed them yet, but we really only have to mail about 20 of them - the rest we are hand-delivering. Its gonna cost about $5 to mail each - ouch! But we budgeted for that when we decided to do them.

 

Materials:

Bud Light with Lime: Drank these with the help of my BIL. Cost not associated to wedding lol

Shells: Dollar Store 2 bags

Glass rocks: ?? From the fishbowls from my SIL's wedding!

Corks: 10 cents each - we got 40.

Twine: 1 roll $2.50 ish.

Sand: Stolen from the beach nearby... lol

Boarding Passes (Yes they are real) Stolen from Air Canada...

Paper: Regular printer paper stained with tea and burned edges

Charms: Ebay

Wood tags: 2 sheets Balsa wood from Micheals

Tissue paper: $25 for 500 sheets. I think we used 120 sheets or so?? lol.
