Create your own Remembrance Table
Create your own Remembrance Table
What better way to display who you are and where you're both from than by turning your guestbook table into a table full of memories?
Gather everything from old photographs of your great-grandparents right down to you and your husband. Pick photos of you and your hubby at various stages of your life. Add versions of your parents and grandparents as babies, toddlers and at their own wedding day. It's a great way to get your mom, or even grandma, and mother-in-law involved. Ask them to spend an afternoon with you digging up old photos in the attic.
To add to this beautiful vintage vibe, consider including antiques, family heirlooms and any other items passed down through the generations of your family. For elegant vintage picture frames, try YourPictureFrames.com. Or for more budget finds, try Ebay.com. We love the idea of the old typewriter (in the photo on the right). In a similar vein, frame one of your favorite paintings, a poem, a movie poster or a record by your favorite band.
Family and friends will love reminiscing over family and childhood photos!

I like the idea of putting picture frames of your love ones in one table.
