Hello. I figured if anybody could help with this request, it would be the FT Community.
MrKS and I are finally getting married. After 2 years dating New York-San Francisco (thanks AA! We loved the Fly 3 promo
) and 3 years living in the Bay Area, we've decided to make our grandmothers happy and get married. The shindig will be on the East Coast and I don't know where the honeymoon will be because MrKS is keeping it a secret for now. (I think somewhere in Africa.)
What I'd greatly appreciate:
We thought it might be nice to have photos and postcards from the places we've been as decorations at the wedding. We'd either put the postcards on the tables or maybe put them in a central box with stamps and people could write wedding/marriage advice and send them to us. I've been going through our travel albums and realize that we have lots of photos but not many postcards.
So, I'm in search of blank, unstamped postcards from certain places. If you happen to live in, or be traveling to, any of these places I would love if you'd buy me 5-8 postcards and send them to me in an envelope. I will happily reimburse you for the postcards and the mailing costs.
The wedding is towards the end of August, so it would be great to have the postcards by the end of July (so we know what we have and what we're still missing).
If you can help, please send me a PM and I'll send you my address (Bay Area).
Thank you
very much!
