Everybody says it, and it's true. Your wedding goes by so quickly! The best gift you can give yourself (and kids and grandkids) is a book of memories from your amazing celebration. It doesn't have to be a chore or yet another task you have to do in the midst of all the planning. Here are my top tips for making it fun and easy to relive a time you will always want to remember.
Figure Out Your Style.
Are you a scrapbook fan who like saving tactile bits like a swatch of fabric from your gown? Or do you prefer the professional look of a digital photo book? Personally, I did both. A scrapbook to focus on the fun lighter side and a professional book to highlight the elegance of our day. Choose whatever inspires you.
Scrutinize Your Shot List.
Add details that you want to showcase to the must-haves that you give your photographer. Then you'll be able to paste a pic of your bouquet next to a dried petal in your scrapbook or include an image of your hand written vows in a photo book.
Appoint a Souvenir Snatcher.
Ask a pal to grab day-of keepsakes that you will be too busy to snag. And be sure to mail yourself an invitation - you can post these in a scrapbook or take photos for a digital version.
Write It Down.
Along with images, you will want to remember the words that move you. Request that everyone who makes a toast give you their notes if they make any - even if they email them to you later.
What are you planning to include in your memory catcher?
