Message in a Bottle Mailing Boxes - Set of 12
Are you planning a nautical and beach-themed wedding, envisioning the smell of sea and salt whiffing along as the sun sets over the shore's horizon? Your guests will anticipate and come to picture the event just as vividly as being there when you announce it with any of our Message in a Bottle Invitations. And as romantic as the notion of your many guests finding these invitations on a sandy shore is, you want to make sure that not only do these invitations actually get to them, but safe and sound, so that they will have an intact memento to anticipate and remember your special day by.
With our white corrugated mailing boxes, you will not have to worry about any bottle making the journey to its intended recipient. The Message in a Bottle Mailing Boxes come in sets of 12 and arrive unfolded, so they stay structurally intact once you have them ready for packaging, and they are durable enough for a trip through the post rather than a trip across a table.
They are custom-fit to most of our Message in a Bottle Invitations, and they serve numerous other purposes too, making great mailing packages for other slender and smaller items as well as a compact storage option once the wedding is over. With its clean and white surface, you can decorate and customize each box to your heart's content, with a stamp, a label, a ribbon or a hand-written name, making sure your guests receive the most personally heartfelt message.
Two sizes cover the range. The standard box takes most invitation bottles, and the large box is cut for the taller, wider starfish invitation bottles, so match the box to the bottle you are sending before you order.
Make sure you have gotten enough Message in a Bottle Invitations for all your guests, as our mailing boxes will ensure that the safety and romantic atmosphere of your announcement will remain intact. Choose your size and quantity above, and post your invitations with nothing left to chance.

Which one should I choose
Once you have decided to post bottle invitations rather than hand them over, the only real question is what they travel in.
| Message in a Bottle Mailing Box, standard 7" x 2" x 2" | Choose it for most Message in a Bottle invitations; it is custom-fit to the bottle, so there is little room left for it to move. |
|---|---|
| Starfish Invitation Mailing Box, large 7" x 3" x 3" | Choose it when you are posting starfish invitation bottles, which need the extra width the standard box does not have. |
| A padded envelope or a general-purpose carton | Choose it only if you have nothing else; a bottle in a loose or soft package moves in transit, which is exactly what a custom-fit box prevents. |
Match the box to the bottle: standard for most invitation bottles, large for the starfish bottles, and the invitation arrives as intact as it left.
