After your wedding was over, what did you do to.........

keep the memory alive?

Scrapbooks, what else?
I need fun and easy ideas of projects to keep me remembering my day forever

Thanks Fellow Newlyweds -- I love that I can say that now

My mom made me a beautiful shadowbox.
You could make one also to display your beautiful invitation and things.

LA Productions made me one for the invitation - I LOVE it
I would LOVE to make another one, but what else can I put in it?
I am so clueless

How about one with your shower invitation and gifts given out or your ribbon?

You can also make a shadowbox with a few of your favorite wedding photos and things.

Oh YES, my shower invitation was beautiful. I still have all the ribbon they gave me in a bo-k. And lots of pics. I LOVED my shower great idea

I can try to make some sort of collage w/favorite pics. I have to start thinking creative

I've been watching my wedding DVD over and over. I have the raw footage also so I can pretty much see everything that went on.

I reviewed my proofs and designed my album and our parents albums. Worked on video, thank you cards, put wedding gifts away, etc.

Liz, come and do some volunteer work with me and you will be fine. I did not do a thing. I am enjoying all my free time and my husband. Say it with now, my husband Watch the video, I do that all the time, look at proofs all the time. You will get yours and you will be able to soon. Have a party invite people over to view the video and the album. Get nice frames and put it all over the house.

I pretty much wrote thank you cards- writing those will make you relive everything! I have been scrapbooking.. but other than that I have been so busy between school and everything else I don't have time to be sad!

Scrapbooks. Keep all the receipts, all RSVPs, all written congrads, all wedding cards, all wedding pics, got our video all in a box full of this stuff, wedding favor, bubbles, cake top, keep my bouquet, clean and perserved my bridal gown. Kept all vendor business cards (the ones we actually used). I'd kept all jpg files of pictures of my bridal gown, MOB and BMs gowns to have a vivid image of what it looked like.

Day dreaming trying to re-live that one special day again. Also, I'd tried getting MP3's of several songs used in our wedding and printing the lyrics for some. I'd created a file in our computer marked 'Our Wedding Music.' I've updated our wedding website so our guests can view it from their own city as well as our online wedding photo album. I'd kept a journal during my engagement and wedding planning of my excitement, joy, frustration, anger, dissapointment, abandonment by my family and most closest people which helps. Years later reading my bridal journal--I'll laugh at it!

Digital scrapbooks. Plus, we watched the video about a million times everytime someone new came over. Once, we even watched it and danced along in front of the TV (We are such dorks!)

Re: After your wedding was over, what did you do to.........

I've done a few things:

*once my album was ordered, I organized all our proofs and put into albums.
*Framed some other proofs and finished a PB collage
*Framed and matted my blow ups from the studio - still need to hang on a wall somewhere!
*decoupaged a storage box of wedidng cards so that it's decorative yet functional too
*stored my dried bouquet in a glass case for protection and decoration
*started my scrapbook, but I've only had time for 1 page! It's going to be a very lengthy process....
