Not for invitations, but my best friend asked us to be her bridesmaids by sending us each a message in a bottle. It was really cute except for the fact that mine apparently opened in the mail and there was sand everywhere!!!

i have never heard of that kind of invitation... it sounds pretty neat though... is it really expensive mailing them?

depending on the weight from enclosures, it is about $.37 on up. I did it for my sons welcome to the world party. PS also I am an ex vendor.

A friend of my mother's sent out invitations in a bottle. It was a 'beach' themed wedding. They had sand and shells in the bottle as well. It cost them $3.00 + to send it because it came in a small box.

I got one years ago for a bat mitzvah in the mail. And my friend hand delivered them for her wedding in Jamaica to our hotel rooms.

By the way, the Container Store has some very nice bottles that would work well. They have cork tops and go for $2.50 each I think. You could also check on the web for better prices.
