I kept them all in a big yellow manilla envelope and wrote shower cards on the front

Make a shower keepsake box and put pics in them like I did with my wedding cards Jenn!

Really, I threw mine out, they didn't mean as much as the wedding cards did. Just my opinion of course.

Re: What did you do with your shower cards?

I have my cards in one of my wedding planning books! I'll probably get a box later on and keep them in there...

Re: What did you do with your shower cards?

I'm going to cut mine up and use the pics on the front of the cards and the phrases from the inside in my photo album. I did this with our engagement party and it came out better than I could ever expect it. Some of the phrases were so nice, it just made the album all the more romantic.

I'm such a sap. I'll stop now.

Re: What did you do with your shower cards?

hmmm sorry I am not creative enough for you!

lol
anyway, here is another idea which I did but then I sold my birdcage...... I had a birdcage at my wedding and I had all my wedding and shower cards thrown in
they looked nice, I was going to put it either in a china cabinet or dining rm or living rm shelf but NOW I dont have the bird cage so they are in an envelope
perhaps you may like that idea, it was a big white adorable cage

Re: What did you do with your shower cards?

Tammy - I did the same thing! They're in a manilla envelope - I know, very creative

Once I've finished decorating a box, I plan to put all my shower/engagement cards and other things in the box for storage.

Re: What did you do with your shower cards?

Thanks Jennbaby. It was a lot of work, but it really made the album special. Worth the time, IMO.

I love creativity, although I don't have much of it in me!

Re: What did you do with your shower cards?

That's the best part, you really don't have to be that creative to do it. All the materials are there in the cards, and all you have to do is put them with your pictures. It's real easy! You can do it!
