With wedding season in full swing, and my own anniversary approaching, I was inspired to look through my box of “memories” that I have kept. One item in particular that I cherish is a photo garland I made featuring my husband’s and my grandparents. I collected wedding photos, a few candid shots, and even a marriage certificate from 1936. It was a fun project collecting the photos from relatives and hearing of fond memories. I simply glued the photos on vintage colored paper, punched holes at the top, and strung ribbon through – very simple. The garland was hung over the gift table and served as a great conversation piece as well as a trip down memory lane for our families. Overall, it was a special way to honor our grandparents and I’m happy to have as a keepsake!

Allison….Mary mentioned for me to check out your blog. good for you!! and thanks for all you’re doing to enrich lives. ruthe
Great idea. These are wonderful photos. I’m so glad you found them. But I hope you used photo copies or photo-safe adhesive if these are originals. I ended up extracting many damaged photos from my Mom’s albums and, unfortunately, moldy boxes. Ugh. (My Creative Memories Consultant was adamant to use the right products).
Thanks Liz, glad you enjoyed. I think this idea could be used for all kinds of parties!
I definitely made copies of all, my mom has originals under safe guard š
