Okay admit it , finding the right Wedding Gift for the Bride and Groom can be difficult task. For the immediate family it can be maddening. Maybe the Bride has received Grandma's engagement ring , or is wearing her Mother's Dress. But most families overlook the importance of handing down the Family History and fond memories. Think about it, a Bride and Groom starting their own lives, and their own branch on the family tree. Maybe it is time for members of the couples families to contribute some family history ,memories in the form of a memory book. You could hand out a few pages of paper to be bound in a decorated book to each immediate family member and friends. Then have each contribute written memories about the bride or groom (when they were younger) , family, themselves or a dear family member who has passed on. You may even be able to tuck in the Wedding invitations a few sheets of paper asking your guests to please contribute their memories to your book and to turn in their completed sheets at the Wedding. A memory book full of reflections, recollections would be both personal and a treasured gift from the heart. Speaking from personal experience it is wonderful way to feel even closer to family members you know or family members you may have heard about through out your lifetime. It is great way for both the Bride and the Groom to get to know each others families more personally and most important, to pass on to their future families.
So find that pretty paper , take hold of your favorite pen and start creating the perfect Wedding Gift that will be both cherished and appreciated for generations to come.
