What in the world did you do with...

All your wedding cards, bridal shower cards and even engagement cards that people gave you. I swear, I have the entire wedding, shower and engagement line of hallmak cards and I don't know what to do with them. I don't want to throw them out, but I don't know what to do with them and we have absoluteley no room in our little apartment for me to put them. Any ideas?? What did you do?? Maybe I should buy an album and put them all in it or something to that effect.

Kristi, I can't help it, I have to save everything, I would bring them to my moms to store, but I swear most of her house is taken up with stuff of mine!!

Re: What in the world did you do with...

I have all saved, except the blank one that we got, in a trunk that says wedding memories that my cousin had gotten me for my shower. It is a little trunk but cute. I have EVERYTHING saved from the wedding in their- extra ribbons, mint boxes EVERYTHING

Another teacher, another saver--LOL

I took some of the really decorative ones and made a collage (which is still in progress). I feel bad tossing the rest! So I still have 'em.

I threw away everything but the wedding cards, those I have in a wooden box on my dresser.

Re: What in the world did you do with...

Mine are in the silk wedding bag on the side of the couch! I know I will throw them out eventually. I just dont have any room for anything in our little cottage. The church bows are in my trunk with exta programs. I have to toss those too! I just cant bear it yet!
speaking of teachers....most of us DO save everything, but I'm a tosser!!! It drives my peers CRAZY!!!

Re: What in the world did you do with...

I have mine in a box right now. I have seen decorative albums that hold cards and would love to get them for my cards. At least they would be somewhat displayed then. I priced them out and what I would need would cost around $100.

Re: What in the world did you do with...

I have all of them. Each in their own bag, engagement cards, shower cards, wedding cards, wedding RSVPs... Not really sure why I am keeping them. There are SO many! I guess maybe it will be fun one day to look back and read them.

Re: What in the world did you do with...

I only saved the ones that were very special to me. Even at that, they are in a box in our attic. I'm a teacher too but I can sort, clean out, and organize. I do struggle with the 'one day I might need it' teacher syndrome...

Re: What in the world did you do with...

I guess I'm alone...I tossed them all

Re: What in the world did you do with...

Mine are just sitting in a bag by my dining room table. I did put in the back of the card what I got as a present. My Bo-K is there too. I think I might buy some nice boxes to put it in. My Dh is a teacher and he told me to keep them- it must be a teacher thing....

Re: What in the world did you do with...

All my engagement/shower/wedding cards are in our wedding box that I have. I want to get some card albums and put them in there so that they don't get crushed.

Re: What in the world did you do with...

I have them all in a box. I couldn't throw them out!!

My SIL got a scrapbook & put all of hers in there. I love that idea. But, I'll wait till I have a bigger place & the energy to start the task!!
