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.
The couple was surprised, obviously, but they were also very intrigued. They thought it was an unusual and romantic idea to send an invite this way and to invite total strangers to their event. The date on the invite was many months away, and they were not really sure if it was a legitimate invite, but they thought they would make the seven-hour drive on the appointed day and see if there really was a ceremony to attend.
They couldn't resist the temptation to attend the wedding, so when the day came, they made the long drive to a small chapel in Key West where the event was being held. They were warmly welcomed by the bride and groom when they appeared at the door and displayed their bottle. Everyone was immensely amused and they all wanted to hear the story of where the bottle ended up and how long it took to get there and how the couple had found it.
The invitation was apparently part of package deal that the marrying couple got from the company which printed and supplied their printed materials. The company advertised the service as a unique and exciting addition to the traditional invitation.
There are several wedding planners and specialists who offer these types of invites, but they are more often novelties. Most people don't actually throw them into the ocean! No, more often they are mailed to the invitees through normal mail, but the idea of sending your invites tis way is becoming popular idea.
The young engaged couple had a different idea which made their message in a bottle invites a little more than just a novelty. The event was a long way off, so they thought wouldn't it be an interesting idea to toss their bottles overboard from a cruise ship. It would give the objects enough time to travel the waves and wash up somewhere and anyone finding them to make arrangements to attend the event.
On the first evening of the cruise, they threw ten invitations in bottles overboard, and spent the rest of the year wondering if any would be found, and if the people who found them would actually attend the ceremony. On the day of the wedding, two couples showed up with bottles, and now they all have interesting stories to tell their friends about how they received Key West wedding invitation as a message in a bottle.
