This is adorable. Have you tried resturant supply stores or even dollar shops. Good luck-if you can post link to the photos so we can see the finished product. This is by far the most original invitation I have ever heard of!

Go to the liquor store and buy a 36 pack of Budweiser, drink all the beers and then use the bottles !
Try Michael’s Crafts. They have small bottles that some officiants use for their sand ceremony.
Might want to try a wholesale glass barn or Oriental Trading Company.
Walmart Fabrics & Crafts.
theres many bottles, sizes shapes colors..good luck.
Go to http://www.freecycle.org and find a group local to you. You can ask for empty bottles. They are free. You don’t have to pay for them. And as long as you are asking for EMPTY bottles, there is no problem.
go to a home brew store, and buy the bottles. you can get all sorts of shapes, but keep in mind they may be spendy! and difficult to mail… on the bright side, if you have the wedding invitations ready to go when you buy them, you can usually purchase bottle caps to go with them, and you can cap them right there at the store, in some cases! after you get them home, you can attach letter stickers to the caps with your last-name-to-be-initial, and decorate the outside as well. they might have smaller versions of bottles at craft stores (cheaper to mail, easier to pack so they won’t break) or they may know of a place you can get them cheaper than the home brew store. have fun!
Ebay! Or look for online supply stores. I don’t know what country you are in otherwise I would give you a few stores online. But squiz around online.
LOVE YOUR IDEA!
WHAT SIZE BOTTLE ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ? SIZE IN INCHES OR MM ?

These can get very expensive though. I was going to do these originally but after the cost of the bottles and the postage to mail them safely it just wasn’t worth it. But if you can afford they are great. I just ended up making my own scrolls with wooden dowel rods and finials and using organza bags to send them in.
You can also check out any bulk glass stores in your area and local craft stores.
Try oriental trading!
