Christian Weddings

Where to get a journal, or other ideas?

A good friend of mine is getting married March 11.  They are missionaries, both home and taking a break from the field when they met, and now they're preparing to leave again sometime after they're married.  They'll be in Uganda.  At this point we're not totally sure when they're leaving, but obviously they won't be able to take a lot with them.  I know they'd prefer donations to their mission fund as wedding gifts, which we're happy to do, but I'd also like to get them a small, meaninful or sentimental gift that could go with them to Uganda.  Someone on E suggested a journal, which I thought was a great idea.  I'm wondering if you guys have any other suggestions and also if you've seen any awesome journals out there lately.

I think we may also get them some luggage tags with their monogram or "Mr and Mrs" on it or something.

She's waited a long time to find him; I can't wait for their wedding!

    Barnes and Noble has a LOT of journals, all sorts of different styles. Some of them are reeeeally nice. I would definitely recommend them!

    Check out Lifeway Christian Stores.  They don't have a ton of stuff online but if you have a store near you they always have BEAUTIFUL journals.  Every couple of Christmases my mom gets me a new journal.  Some have inspirational scripture and some are blank so you'll just have to see what you can find! 

    Also, what if you check into giving them Bibles that come in the language they need, or maybe a gift to them intended for that purpose?  

    I saw some cute journals at Borders the other day.  Also check Amazon.com  - prices on Amazon are pretty amazing and if you order enough merchandise shipping is free.  If you're a teacher, you can get the educator discount at Barnes and Noble (I think you teach drama, right? trying to remember...).  Anyway... if I think of anything else I will come back and post it.  What a great thought you got on the journal thing!!! :-) 


    July 16, Our Wedding Day, is also International Juggling Day!

    There are awesome journals at Marshalls! I bought one for my mom, friend, grandma and all my aunts this year for Christmas. They had Bible verses in them, were realllllly cute and were only $3.99! If you don't have a Marshalls by you, try TJ Maxx or Ross or any discount type store like that.
