What are you keeping and what are you getting rid of?
We have talked about our dress, but what other stuff do you have lying around?
I have 120 brown napkins that I am giving to my cousin for her restaurant, but I have three big pictures of plants we used for our backdrop, and a wooden card box and a cheap coffee table, and no idea what to do with them!
We also had a japanese screen that we kept for our lounge.
I also still have some favours left over and copies of table names, programmes and other things that I just don't feel I should throw away.
What are you girls going with your 'stuff'?

Re: What are you keeping and what are you getting rid of?
I gave a wedding book to a girl at work & my clutch/candle holders to an engaged friend. I think everything else I will donate/keep. A couple things I just tossed because they were falling apart.
I'm trying to sell some gifts we got on amazon too.
Pretty soon my apartment will be in it's pre-wedding state!!
Good question.
I don't have a lot of stuff left over though. I have 5 programs, 5 vases, 5 -10 favors, the card box, the table numbers and that's about it. Oh and the unity candle set. I was thinking of saving the unity candle stand for my sister/brother/friend if they want it. Everything else is really minimal. The card box will store all of the wedding cards we got until the day I realize I don't need to keep them anymore. The vases will either be sold at our garage sale or donated back to the Goodwill down the street.

I gave our moms some extra STDs, Invitations, Programs and personalized napkins to keep. I'll also keep some, but there are quite a bit left, so some will get thrown out. I'm keeping my dress, jewelry, hair fascinator.
I've sold a handful of things (parasol, robe, hat, FG basket, book, etc) and have a few other items for sale like the bathroom and program baskets, pen, etc. Just small stuff left.
As far as gifts go, my mom "bought" a vase off of us (instead of returning it) and I have tables to return for store credit.
Ugh, my basement is still home to some of my wedding leftovers. I just don't feel like unpacking them or moving them from their corner. They have nowhere to go anyway. I would like to get rid of the 10 extra vases and all of my table numbers, but it just hasn't happened yet.
Great question!
I have way too much stuff! I'm trying to sell it on craigs list, I'm putting a little bit on at a time. I have 13 jars from my candy buffet. I kept 1 and gave one to my MOH. I have my wooden table #'s. Those are the 2 things I have on there now.
I still want to sell the table linens (chair sashes & overlays), cake stand, "Love is Sweet" letters, Thank You parasol, paper lanterns, votives, 20 or so short vases. I also have a tall vase, I could probably keep that, but it doesn't have a home yet.
I am keeping my gown & shoes. I'm still undecided about my hair flower. I gave the extra bubbles to my flower girl. I'm sure there is more stuff but I have put it out of my mind at the moment!

I have several vases that I will probably sell on craigslist. The rest of the stuff is minimal. We put it in a rubber bin in the basement along with all of our cards and rsvps. We will open it in a few years and be like, aww.
I also still have my chuppah frame in our sunroom. My florist showed interest in wanting to buy it, but I haven't contacted them about it yet.
We had to deal with most of our stuff the 2 days after the wedding since we were flying back across the country to come home. We separated out what we wanted and boxed that all up so my sis could ship it back to us, and then dealt with everything else.
We saved some table runners(DIY and deep purple), some vases, our glass beverage dispensers, and our table numbers. The table numbers were slightly nautical - white frames with blue background and the #s made out of rope, and someone suggested we use them as decoration for a future baby's room. They are super cute, so I'm thrilled with that idea.
We got rid of most of the other decorations by bringing them to goodwill. Same with all the serving bowls/platters we used. We brought our extra food to a local food bank place. We were totally surprised by what they would take! Even s'mores stuff!
I'm sure there is a ton more stuff I'm not remembering - guess I'll see what it is when the boxes arrive from my sister's house!
