    I'm looking for a postbox for cards but we haven't got much money left so I just want a cheap plain one really and hopefully I can jazz it up a bit myself. Not really sure where to look though, can anyone point me in the right direction please? Thanks ladies

    What sort do you want - like a real postbox or a cardboard one?

    I think you'll be able to make one using a box and some sort of nice wrapping paper maybe? some ribbon and a label to match your theme. I'm sure there will be tutorials on the tube?

    Just a cardboard one I think. I could make it but I'd prefer to buy one if its cheap enough

    Have you not thought about making one? easy enough with card board and papier mache then just paint it however you want?

    I hadn't thought about making one to be honest. I've got so much wedding stuff to do that I haven't really got the time

    Claire, that's a good idea. Looks really good.

    I can't think of anyone to delegate to. H2b isn't creative in the slightest, my moh had two small children so no time and my other bridesmaids are the two children lol

    I follow loads of different wedding groups on the book of face and there's always posts popping up with people making them and personalising them, saw one on there recently with was a cardboard chest instead of a postbox which looked good x

    The Craft shop for Hobby sell plain cardboard ones too - £6 or £7 i think.
    I bought the same thing from the bay of e but the bottom corner was all squashed with postage. At least at a shop you can go through and pick out the perfect ones

    If you've not got the time to make one yourself, what about seeing if someone will make it for you? Bridesmaid? Mother of Bride/Groom? Other arty guest/friend? I'm sure if you supplied the stuff and how you want it to look, someone will oblige!
