Re: my grand mothers wedding gown
What about one of those eye things that go over your head while you sleep. It would be nice to have a pretty satin one to indulge youself even if you don't use it often. It could be a cute keepsake.
Or, maybe (if you're the first to get married) you should make them garters out of it that they can use on their wedding day.
Or, you can make little doll dresses and give each of them a keepsake doll for a curio cabinet.
HTH!

Ohhh...maybe you can make baby blankets for each of them if you're all planning on having kids! That would be adorable...and another keepsake

Love those ideas
a garter would be nice...you wear it and pass it down!
Baby blanket or if you are catholic make a christening dress out of it someday for your daughter
but as a day of thing... a purse wrap use it as a Bo-k wrap

my mom and i were thinking about making a girl and boy christening outfit out of it, but there is still so much and i really wanted to give them something they can have on them all the time.

I would say cut a little piece of it for each of you and tie it to your garters. that way you can preserve the dress and still have a piece of it with you
