I still have all my wedding "stuff" all over.. Help Me Keepsake!

[eli1126]

We got married in June 2004 and as I am organizing our office/computer room I am encoutering all our wedding keepsakes! I do have 1 or 2 pictures up, but everything else is hidden away! I have my bouquet still together sitting on the top shelf of our bookcase, the proof album collecting dust and the wedding album as well :( I would like to have an invitation framed in stained glass, but don't know where to go to find a place that does this :confused: What did everyone else do with all their wedding pics/keepsakes?

I got the Hallmark Card keeper for all of my wedding cards and invitation things.

I put my extra photos and momentos (place card, photos from showers, pictures of dress & ring from a magazine, etc) in a scrapbook. Not the fancy kind of scrapbooking, just the regular album type.

I have a shelf on my bookshelf that has my photo albums, wedding book, unity candle, ring pillow (it's small), cake topper and tiara. Sounds hokey but it looks nice.

The rest of my wedding things are in a white file box in the same bookshelf. I never got around to having my invitation framed, perhaps by our 10th anniversary ;).

Good luck!

I am in the same boat as you! I got married in August 2004 & I still have boxes all over the house full of wedding stuff that I can't figure out what to do with! :rolleyes: Some of it I know I want to pack up & keep as momentos of our wedding, but other things I really would like to try to give away/sell. I've sold quite a few things on the WC & on eBay, but I've still got a few items that I truly don't need to keep but I'm having trouble finding someone to give them to. And for the stuff I want to keep, I need to figure out what things I want to have "out" around the house (i.e. albums of photos, maybe a shadow box with my invitation & a couple of dried flowers from my bouquet?) vs. packed away, & how/in what I want to pack things away in.

Heck, just last night I FINALLY started organizing my photo negatives & making a list of which negatives I need to get duplicate prints of for our family & friends. We've been married for over a YEAR & I'm just now doing this!?!? :confused:

Anyway, as for advice for you, my friend has a big china hutch in her dining room, & on one of the shelves in the middle she's got a few momentos from her wedding 8 years ago. I think they've got their toasting flutes in there, their cake topper, & a few other smaller items (favors, etc.).

Pottery Barn has been my friend!

I got shelves like these in mahogany, and they have some framed pictures, our cake topper, champagne flutes, trinkets from our honeymoon etc. (Amazing how much they hold!)

I got a shadowbox frame for our invitation and engraving plate, and I put DH's boutinnaire in there.

I have two of these gallery frames in the entryway- I put a lot of wedding pix in there.

I have not yet gotten a scrapbook- I still need to do that!
