Can't you just say you take responsibility for it :S I doubt someone will steal your wedding post box! If they did they'd be mean :(

To me, that's a lame excuse. They're not responsible for your wedding cake, but they still allow it. If it were me i would kick up a fuss, telling them were having it no matter what. YOu're paying good money for hiring the place. its yours for the day, so if you want a postbox, have one.
I'm p˙˙∂†´d off for you now :-)

Aw thanks guys, i was really upset about it too as i was planing on making my own! xx
That's awful. I've never heard a venue not letting you have a post box?!? I can understand not allowing miniature drinks for favours (although we looked around for one that would), as it could possibly take away from their bar takings. But I don't understand about a post box. Is there anyway you sign a waiver saying that the hotel isn't responsible?

I reckon if you kick up a stink, they will back down. This is just bureaucracy gone mad!
CommentAuthorHayley Elizabeth
Oooh a waiver sounds like a good route to go down Angela, thank you! xx
CommentAuthorVelcro
that's the stupidest thing ive ever heard. id just turn up on the day with it. let them try to pull the bride to one side on her wedding day and tell her off. theyd be getting elbow dropped.

Exactly what I would do. Does she want your business at the end of the day?

Not allowing a post box and not being responsible are two very different things. Surely if they don't claim responsibility that is enough. Have a little chat an see if a waiver is enough. Good - Luck :)
CommentAuthorAmyK
See if they'll just put it in your contact that they won't take responsibility for it. I regularly checked & emptied the one at my mums wedding, but only as there were other weddings in the same venue, so strangers were wafting by

That's rediculous! I've never heard of that before! So if you're not allowed a post box are you allowed presents? They still cost money! I'd be having words! That's what your paying them for and they should have insurance included on that... Have u got your own insurance? X

CommentAuthorHayley Elizabeth
It is ridiculous!! Also, the venue hire is the private area upstairs away from public. We're having a small wedding with min 50 guests so i think we'd notice if some 'ruffian' cam in trying to take the 'loot' haha! xx
CommentAuthorGlitterfairy
I would suggest to them that you put it in writing that you will take responsibility of the box and if anything goes missing it is not down to them. Maybe get one of the BMs or Groomsmen to take responsibility and empty it a couple of times and put them in a safe place.

Surely a post box is safer than things like a bird cage or just leaving them on a side?! I would ask your venue about it...I'm pretty sure ours has a clause in the contract stating that they will take no responsibility for any losses of property on the premises xx
Id agree they probably don't want the responsibility of it going missing, rather than it not being allowed so to speak. Definitely see if drawing up a disclaimer removing all responsibility from them does the trick. Seems a bit bizarre otherwise! X

You really would have thought that in these times, people in this industry would want you business? Instead, what do they do? Come up with stupid, petulant rules which are nothing but an incentive to take your business elsewhere!
You really could be doing something better than run around convincing them to let you have a post box!!
I know what I would be doing....
CommentAuthorBecky1608
I don't understand this at all!!!! I understand that they don't take responsibility for them but to say you can't have one is crazy!! Xxx

They're not responsible for your wedding cake, so that can't be allowed. They're not responsible for a band/disco, so that can't be allowed. They're not responsible for your centrepieces, so they can't be allowed ......or are they?
CommentAuthorbrilly
I would defo look into a waiver hun or agreement that can be signed by both parties stating you take full responsibility for the box and contents x

Yeah, i think a waiver looks like the best option for us now.
