wish you were here aka my postcard problems

Now that I've collected almost all the postcards, I am trying to figure out the best way to display them. I am torn between just at people's place settings or have a table like a guest book normally would. Here is what I found from other people's:

Ok so this person actually used a mailbox. I looked up vintage ones on ebay and everything I wanted was $300+ which is totally crazy.

they kinda look neat spread out since I like alot of the images on the postcards I found. Does anyone else see that it looks like she is writing on the front of a postcard? I want to be like "Hey stop! Turn it over!"

this bride had stamped and preaddresseed all the postcards. I think I would be nervous everyone would forget and not send them back to me.

no idea on the delivery system of these. Think I am in love iwth the plate setting though.

P.S. Shout out to bloggers like A Los Angeles Love, Mouse and Anna and the Ring for writing some amazing and eloquent blog posts recently on things I find hard put into words, especially well written ones (perhaps because I'm too busy thinking about wedding mailboxes??? sometimes true....regardless, thank you ladies)

  1. Postcards are a tradition in my family - I love this idea. Could you slap some paint on a regular mailbox - do they even still make metal ones? Or even just a simple basket could be lovely, let the cards speak for themselves.

  2. I was thinking painting a mailbox too. White paint could do wonders.

    I agree with people not sending them back either. Bad idea!

    Post cards are super cute though. And that girl does look like she is writing on the front WTF?
