What to do with our vows?

Jason and I not only wrote our ceremony but we also wrote our own vows.  I was cleaning/organizing his desk today and found our vows that we had wrote on little pieces of paper for the ceremony and it got me thinking that I'd like to do something with them.  Not necessarily the little pieces of paper, but I'd like to do something neat with the vows we wrote to each other and I am drawing a blank.  The only thing I could think of was to type them up, print them, and frame them, but that's kind of boring to me.  Any ideas/suggestions?

Re: What to do with our vows?

  • What about using them as part of a background page in a scrapbook wedding album?? 
  • I saw a project on a craft blog once where she copied them onto canvas and hung them over her bed. Her vows to him over her side of the bed and his over his side. I thought it was cute. Cheesy but cute.

     

    I will be paying attention to this thread bc I am still awaiting the perfect thing to do for ours as well

  • You could have them etched into the glass of a frame and frame a photo behind it.  We have places in the mall that do this - not Things Remembered, but little kiosks.  It's relatively inexpensive and the words are etched in the glass forever, with the photo behind it so it's really beautiful.

    This is what I did.  We didn't write our own vows, but I put them on a page in our photobook.  You can try this link (no idea if it will work) http://www.mixbook.com/photo-books/wedding/wedding-copy-5297729 It is on page 26-27.

    My Aunt surprised us with a photobook with non-pro pictures of the wedding, family etc, and she took excerpts from the ceremony and placed them throughout the book. It was a really nice touch.

    I think this is a really cute idea!  (But I'm cheesy like that!)  I like that it's private since it's in the bedroom, and not everyone would see it when they come over.

    Add me to that list. We have been trying to figure out what the heck to put up in our room and this is a great idea. I also think that done right it wouldnt be cheesy at all.

    I wanted to do it when I first saw it- but we have a huge poster size picture of us with the mustang above the bed and I thought that matched with the vows would be a bit much!

    Megan that is why I thought it was so perfect!
