African American Weddings

'STUFF' has taken over...What do you ladies think?

So, our wedding was in August. We had all the little extra details that I so had to have and thought I would die without. Now, the wedding is over and STUFF has taken over our house. Some of the things we've been able to use.

For example, our custom card box sits in our guest room on the dresser. We kept it b/c all of the cards are still in there and maybe one day we'll read through them again. Plus, we built the color scheme of that room around our wedding colors, so the box matches the room.

Our custom aisle runner is in the process of being cut and framed. DH's sister owns an art gallery and framing shop, so she's going to cut the monogram from the runner and frame it so we can display it in our home.

But there are still other things I just can't bring myself to part with. For example, our seating chart. It was so pretty! But what am I really going to do with a seating chart with all of our guests names on it?? It sits rolled up b/c we took it out of the frame and I don't want to part with it after spending a pretty penny on it.

We also have bathroom baskets, oversized ring boxes that were used as centerpeices during cocktail hour, table names, favor boxes that I refuse to open b/c they're so pretty, and lots of other things taking up space...but I just can't bring myself to part with.

I'm not sure if this is a vent, rant, or request for advice....But what have you ladies done with all of the 'stuff' after your wedding...or what are you planning on doing with it all?
