[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 34 so not a boomer but you can get their wedding invitation engraved on a silver plate at really nice jewelry stores and I think that’s awesome. Alternatively how about their invitation framed in a beautiful frame. 
Or, a portrait of their first house on canvas. Can get this on Etsy. [/quote]

Do people really want and display these things in their house? I enjoyed my wedding and all but there is literally not one item from our wedding in the house, other than a photo album that is tucked away. These things just seem very mawkish and, well, middlebrow.[/quote]

I have my wedding invitation, my parents’ wedding invitation, and both sets of my grandparents’ wedding invitations, all framed and on display around a mirror in the butler’s pantry, above a bar cart. I would have DH’s parents’ and grandparents’ invitations displayed as well, but they did not hang onto any copies. MIL huffs about it and I’ve even offered to take her to Crane’s and re-create as best we can for all of their family’s invitations, with dates and locations, but she refuses. Oh well.[/quote]

Thinking about my wedding brings me joy. Not everyone is so focused on not seeming "middlebrow"[/quote]

I'd wager you are much more sentimental about family invitations than the average bride. [/quote]

NP. And? So? Some people love good invitations. Others focus on the dress, others the flowers, etc. I work in publishing, and you bet I paid a lot of attention to our invitation, and have it framed. People Are Different From You. -NP[/quote]

I'm referring to the pp who has all her family's invites framed and hung. That's a lot. [/quote]

I think the generations of wedding invitations hanging on the wall sounds lovely. I have never seen anything like that.[/quote]

There’s a reason you haven’t seen that![/quote] +1 definitely a reason [/quote]

Yes, and the reason is your family has receptions at the K of C, the New Jersey four-a-day reception halls, and the Grand Ballroom of the Radisson Inn. When you are the third generation to get married in the National Cathedral, it is a different story.[/quote]

Wrong but I give you credit for your perseverance. [/quote]
