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.

i am definetly saving mine, where, i don't know until we move, but, i remember when my grandmother died and we went through her things and found all her engagement announcements, wedding cards, honeymoon postcards, etc and it was so cool! I want to know someone will see them years from now and appreciate them in some way!

I bought a white chest from pottery barn and keep all my wedding keepsakes in there including my cards.

I put them all in a hat box, except the really nice ones from close family those are in my memory book.

I found these online, but I think it would be cheaper to make my own. Does anyone know if they sell these acid free pages?

card album

What a phenomenal memory to have of a grandparent!

I put all our wedding cards, extra invitations, RSVPs, extra programs, favors in one big box. I call it our 'wedding scrapbook box' as I'm very sentimental. I tied all the RSVPs in a decorative ribbon that was part of a wedding gift to keep them together in this box. I can't bear to see all my hard work, time and money to dump any of our wedding stuff. We really over estimated our invitation order and ceremony program but I put them to use. I put an invitation in our engagement photo album as well as a program on the inside. As we were sending our wedding pictures I included a program for those who were unable to attend or did not take a program. Our wedding box was our wedding scrapbook. I cannot bear to cut up our wedding cards or any paper stuff into an actual scrapbook as they are just so beautiful. Many of our guests hand wrote little wishes as 'To the Newlyweds!' or 'Mr. & Mrs. Nicholas Kurihara' and my Jr. BM's family drew a heart with 'Mr. & Mrs. Nicholas Kurihara' on the envelope. I kept all the envelopes of our wedding cards, yes I'm a pack rat and I'm very sentimental.

I displayed our unity candle openly in our living room on top of our entertainment unit where it's visible to all our guests.
