My grandfather had a huge match book collection - he'd pick one up every where he went.

We have a box of match books with our names on & wedding bells. Everyone gave those out then. I guess it was because of all the people who smoked, although we never did. We have the little basket that sat on our cake with fresh flowers in it. We will use the same basket (with new flowers) on our anniversary cake. Thanks for sharing your memories! Colleen G.

Plastic swizzle sticks with our names and wedding date. Napkins with out names and date. Dried up roses from the corsage I wore "going away." Program. Invitation and thank-you notes. I don't remember asking people to RSVP. No honeymoon souvenirs. I have my guest book but I don't think I saved cards. I love Uncle Rob's letter. Didn't write those funny things in that summer vacation scrapbook? Here he is again writing little funny things.

Somewhere (where??) I hope I also kept all the invitation, response cards, and gift cards. Thanks for sharing.
