Please share your "In Memory" tables

[Mrs.Pfeiffer]

Hey all!

I want to get some ideas for our Memory table that I want to have at our reception. We will be "remembering" four grandparents and one aunt.

If anyone has a picture of what they did for the ones that weren't able to be with you on your wedding day, that'd be wonderful if you could post it!

Thanks!!! :)

Ours was very simple. It was in memory of my dad. The guests thought it was very touching.

Ours wasn't really an "in memory" table, but could still be used as inspiration. We displayed wedding photos of our parents and grandparents at the cocktail hour.

Ladies! I love BOTH your table!!! This is just what I need to get my creative juices flowing to figure this out. :p I think my brain is just packed with to many invite/program ideas there's not enough room for anything else right now. :)

Thanks!

Hey Amanda!
I know you have probably seen this picture in my bio but I wanted to post here for anyone else who might need ideas. We had several people to remember on our wedding day (unfortunately) so I had to be creative as well. I ended up buying all silver frames (different sizes and styles) and putting them with a breast cancer awareness candle (that was pink, of course!) and a poem. Here is a picture:

Here is what our poem said (I found it online right before the wedding...)
TO ALL OUR LOVED ONES WHO ARE HERE WITH US IN SPIRIT:
Although we can’t see you
We know you are here
Smiling down, watching over us
As we say "I Do"
Forever in our hearts,
Forever in our lives,
And so we say our vows
In loving memory of you.



It worked for us because it wasnt over the top (which Jason did NOT want, as his parents were two of the people that werent with us that day) but yet we were able to share them with our guests. Good luck!!

Well, mine was a "combo" table. LOL. It housed our placecards, guest mat and photo rememberances (though we also included our parent's wedding photos). Also, everything didn't fit on one table so they moved a couple of things to a separate one. I never got to see what everything looked like though, and this is all I have.. screen shots from the videographer. My photographer crapped out and "lost" the roll that had the still shots/cocktail hour shots. (yes, still bitter).

I didn't have a memory "table", but I honoured my mother by decorating what would have been her chair at the ceremony (those items were later moved to the sign-in table at the reception). There was the last pro pic we took together before she got really sick, a stained-glass angel that a friend of hers made, and a vase to hold a flower that I carried down the aisle with me. I drapped the chair in leftover fabric from my veil.

Maplekitty - What a beautiful way to remember your mother. Very touching.

Maplekitty, that is so pretty. I love how you draped the fabric from your veil on the chair. :)

Maplekitty, beautiful, simply beautiful.
