My "Coronita" Message in a Bottle Invitations!

[AliMcBaal]

Hi Everyone!

 

I've been following this thread for awhile now....admiring all of the amazing DIY projects everyone is doing.  I figured I would do my own invites for our Mexico wedding in October.  Wanted to share what my FI and I came up with ... Coronita message in a bottles.  All said and done, 42 bottles later and about $3 for shipping each box via USPS, we still ended up around the same cost as if we were to purchase invitations from a real vendor.  Such a fun project...now I need to start working on our welcome books and bags!!  I have somehow turned into a DIY Queen, as I'm sure many of us have.

Wow, the Coronita message in a bottle is so creative and cute! You did such a wonderful job...congrats! Hope you don't mind, I might steal you idea and use mini Red Stripe Beer bottles for my wedding in Jamaica :-)

Cute Idea!!

Thanks!  And Yes, of course we HAD to make an excuse to drink them all.  We got them for $5.24 per 6 pack at the local Mexican mart.  Practically free for invitations being we drank them anyway.

what a fabulous idea!  I'm sure if we did something like this my FI would have wanted to be involved with making (and drinking) these invitations!
