You chose your toasting glasses, cake top, invitations and other wedding accessories so carefully — don’t let them gather dust when the wedding’s over! Use them creatively and display them prominently, and your wedding memories will remain fresh throughout the years.
Toast each other with your engraved wedding toasting flutes on each anniversary. Display the glasses in your china cabinet for the rest of the year.
Frame a keepsake wedding invitation in a shadow box along with a few pressed flowers from your bouquet, your garter, the groom’s bow tie, a snapshot or two and other mementos.
At the wedding, have guests sign a photo mat instead of a guest book and use it to display your favorite wedding portrait. Create a photo collage on a wall in your new home together with the signed photo mat as the centerpiece.
Have a keepsake throw pillow made from the train of your wedding gown and display the pillow in your bedroom. Perhaps have it embroidered with your names and wedding date.
Display your cake top in a glass dome or in a curio cabinet next to a photo of you cutting your wedding cake.
Use your engraved wedding cake knife and server for serving dessert on special occasions — birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and parties.
