How sentimental are you?
This made me think the other night when I was getting something from the basement. Our box of wedding cards is on a top shelf; I didn't know what to do w/them. Also our wedding candle - don't know what to do w/it, so it's in a bag in the basement. I think I'm going to get rid of these things, like, what do you do w/it??
I've kept a few things here and there over the years but I'm really not sentimental. Maybe from my mom selling the house I grew up in and she sold lots of my childhood stuff, and moving so much throughout college, I've learned to let go of things.
Do you keep old stuff b/c it reminds you of good memories/people/whatever? Do you dry flowers from bouquets or events? Or anything else equally mushy?

Re: How sentimental are you?
I've kept cards, but like you kinda don't know what to do with them. I have some pieces in my home that are sentimental to me but if things reach the clutter stage, they're gone. I only have one plastic bin full of my childhood/college memories.
I do scrapbook though, and those are very sentimental to me, although I don't keep brochures or tickets in there.
I don't have any flowers from anything, except for our wedding centerpiece it was a fake topiary in fall colors.
Here is a tricky one---we have a box downstairs with DH's parents wedding memorabilia... cake topper, monogrammed napkins, matchbooks, etc....they got divorced 8 yrs. ago WTH are we supposed to do with that stuff. I don't bring it up to DH since it's only one box. I suppose he'll decide someday what to do. I just don't know why I need to store 100 extra napkins??
Also--I also have a 16x20 painting of my mom that was done for her wedding portrait...they divorced when I was 3 and my mom burned her wedding dress and threw it out the bathroom window when I was 13 (don't ask). It is way too big to hang up around the house and I have no clue what do with it. She was gorgeous, but it just doesn't feel like the mom I know when I look at it.
Okaayy, posted too fast!!
MIL had champagne glasses screen printed for our wedding as favors, and had 2 engraved for us. (shakes head, whole other story) People took them home of course, and our engraved ones were taken. I really didn't care, but MIL was super upset. We have still have a 12 printed ones but we've never used them, probably never will.
I would've balled too! I bought ours direct from the Waterford factory in Ireland and hand carried them on the flight all the way home. I'd be devastated, but Waterford is one thing I am sentimental about.
all of our wedding stuff is in a box in the spare bedroom closet...all but our cake topper(which is sitting on the coffee table with pics of the wedding). i'm pretty sentimental, but there comes a time when it's time to purge and get rid of stuff.
** we had napkins from the cake table left over and we use them on a day to day basis since we really only needed one for the keepsake box **
Face
"Cheese!"
Didn't you have that custom made?
Yep - I insisted on having bobbleheads and they had to be custom made (and they were awesome)!
