any know....

of a way for FH to honor his deceased father on our wedding day? I plan on ordering the charm picture to attach to my bo-k (for my family member) but besides a memorial candle I can't come up with anything for him. Any ideas?

I remember reading about someone who did cufflinks with the picture of their loved ones that have passed. I thought that was nice.
Like something like this

We are playing the favorite songs of our deceased family members (this may not be a good idea in some situations but our family really wanted to do this), doing a memorial candle and having something put in the program.

I like the idea of photo cufflinks.

Re: any know....

The photo cufflinks are a very nice idea. FSIL already asked if she could but him ones from red envelope that are made from actual baseballs. Maybe will I will show her the picture ones and let her choose. Thanks for the idea.

FH and I will be doing a memory candle and msg in the programs. We were talking about it at the wedding sat night and realized we couldn't make a montage in memory of them. No one would walk away with a dry tear. Fh and I even had a hard time making it through our friends parent child dances.

As i'm typing i think i wanna do 2 memory candles. My father and his father will each have their own separate candles. I'm also doing the bo-k charm and i have my dad's baby bracelet (blue and white beads) that i'll put in my bo-k

Re: any know....

I hear ya on the memory board.... That would be too tough!
Are you making your own bo-k charm. I feel like it would be something very easy to make! Any ideas?
