Vintage / Picnic Wedding after Summer

We are looking to create a vintage, fun, outdoor, picnic style wedding theme in Sept. We are wondering if any other couple already has these types of items, would like to share in cost of purchasing, or has them for sale.

-Small / Large Chalkboards. 
-Older model working typewriter 
-Antique Mailbox 
-Mason Jars for decoration/drinking 
-Old Coke Bottles for flowers/decoration 
-Tandem Bike 
-Wooden benches 

Any other ideas you may have used for games, decorations, would be helpful.

    I would look at all the town-wide garage sales coming up this spring.

    I am going to have a lot of mason jars, but my wedding is Sept 17th - so they wouldn't be available until after that!  Let me know if you are interested, I'd definitely like to sell them asap after the wedding.

    Im getting married in July and have 10 vintage blue mason jars and 10-15 various other color and sizes for our vintage themed wedding. I would be willing to sell them as well after the wedding.

    I totally wanted to do coke bottles as vases for my reception, but it didn't really go with our reception setting. I do have 25 old glass pop bottles you could borrow though, they're just not all coke. 

    My husband and I also bought a tandem bike recently. It's a very 1950's bright red looking bike. I think I'd feel weary lending it out though as we spent a lot of money on it...
