Mini Vintage Wedding Message Mailboxes (Set of 6)*
These delightful mini vintage message mailboxes are a whimsical treat that you can use to deliver special messages to friends and family. There are so many different uses for this product that your imagination will have a field day. Imagine the smiles you will elicit when people find these novelty accessories in their hands filled with a secret mysterious message, or perhaps a tiny treat to enjoy.
Each Mini Vintage Wedding Message Mailbox measures 1.5" x 2.5" x 2", small enough to sit on a place setting or in the palm of a hand. It is painted black with a white flag that indicates that there is mail ready to be received. The inside is hollow, allowing you to place messages inside or in some cases, a tiny treat or trinket. Raise the flag and the whole thing does the work for you: nobody can walk past a mailbox with the flag up without opening it.
These tin mailboxes can be used to send out invitations to a party as well. All you need to do is get tiny scrolled paper that is small enough to fit in the tin mailbox, then ship them out to everyone you know, creating an invitation situation which everyone will take notice of. Imagine the merriment of finding a tiny mailbox in your mailbox.
They make great favors for a party or celebration. You can place a small, hand written note into the mailbox, thanking your guests for attending, making them feel special and remembered. This allows you to personalize each thank you and ensure that the guests receiving them will appreciate and remember the happy day.
For a country chic or rustic wedding they are close to perfect: black tin against wood tables, kraft paper and wildflowers, one at every place setting with a handwritten line inside for each guest. They work just as well as escort card holders, ring bearer boxes, table numbers, advent countdowns, love notes tucked into a lunch bag, or a small stand of them on a shelf holding messages the family leaves for each other. They arrive as a set of six, so a table or a small party is covered by one set and a larger reception is simple arithmetic.
Choose your quantity, write your notes, and put the flag up.

Which one should I choose
At a rustic table the choice is usually between a container the guest opens and a card the guest reads.
| Mini Vintage Wedding Message Mailboxes (Set of 6) | Choose them when you want the moment of opening: a flag up, a hollow tin, and a handwritten note or a tiny treat inside for each guest. |
|---|---|
| A paper favor box | Choose it when the favor is edible and the box is meant to be recycled after the reception; it will not be kept on a shelf. |
| A printed place card | Choose it when you only need to seat people; it names the guest but gives them nothing to take home. |
For a rustic or vintage reception, the mini message mailboxes do three jobs at once, which is why one set often covers a whole table.
