This just may be the most unique story to tell your friends and family. An older couple living in Florida received Key West wedding invitation as a message in a bottle. They were on the beach when they happened to notice a shiny object wash up on shore. Inside was an invitation specifically addressed to whoever happened to find it, plus one guest.
Needless to say, the couple were surprised, but they were enchanted by the romantic idea of sending an invite in such a way, as a message in a bottle. The date of the wedding was nearly a year away. At first, the couple was somewhat skeptical about the whole idea, but they seriously considered driving the six hundred miles on the day in question to attend the ceremony.
They went to the chapel on the day planned and found that there was indeed a wedding and the invitations were real. The bride and groom welcomed them with open arms and everyone had a wonderful laugh discussing the story. Everyone wanted to know how the invitations came about and how and where the couple found them.
Apparently, the idea for the invitations were just a promotional thing that their event planner often does for her clients. The event planner was advertising the messages in the bottles as an extra service to be provide alongside the normal or traditional invitations.
Several event planning companies and printers offer "message in a bottle wedding invitations" but they are usually meant as a novelty, not an actual message meant to be thrown into the ocean! They are usually addressed to specific people and sent to the recipients via traditional postage and packaging channels, UPS or FedEx.
But in this case the groom had a terrific idea. He would literally send out open invitations addressed to no one in particular in bottles and send them on an ocean journey. The ceremony was quite a long way off, so they had time. They were planning a cruise soon, and they would take the opportunity then.
On the third night of their cruise, the happy couple made and addressed exactly ten of the unusual wedding invitations and placed them in water-tight bottles. They sent them over the side of the ship and then nearly forgot about them until the day of the ceremony when two strange couples appeared with the bottles. They shared their stories about how they received Key West wedding invitation as a message in a bottle and then joined in the festivities.
