Monaco: Public post boxes will be painted red in preparation for the royal marriage
Tiny details changed for big wedding
The Monegasque post dispatches over 20 million letters a year.
This extra care and attention even extends to inanimate objects that you might not look twice at if you were walking past them. For example, today the authorities will put into action a plan to paint all the post boxes in the tiny state the same shades as Monaco’s official colours. Slated to be completed by mid-June, the project includes repainting the 72 public post boxes red.
The Monegasque post dispatches over 20 million letters a year, 2.5 million of which come from the post boxes, and although it's a tiny touch, when the eyes of the world are watching every little thing matters. NM

When huge occasions like this that involves the royal family, all attention to details are taken care of. Painting the post boxes is just one of the many minor details that were considered. Looking back, the wedding was a huge success which captured the imagination of the entire world.
