I admit that I am biased and think that keepsake boxes are such a great wedding idea. My cousin got me a keepsake box as a wedding gift, and when I realized what I could do with it I was thrilled- and touched! And I hadn't even thought about wanting one. You have to get up pretty early in the morning to think of a wedding topic I haven't thought of, but my cuzzie definitely did!
You can even get cute ones from Walmart!
Mine looks somewhat like this one above (but it isn't wall mounted, and mine is cuter, hehe). It is black (like our other picture frames) and has a hinged lid with a collage picture frame in it, and the inside is solid wood. I love it so much and used sepia colored wedding photos to fill the collage on the box top. Inside, I saved a copy of every paper element from our wedding (our save the date, invitation, rehearsal invitation, menus, favors, OOT bag welcome letters, escort cards, wedding program) along with J.'s boutonniere, my garter, the cards we gave each other on the wedding day, and a few special cards from family. It's the perfect way to store memories- a kind of time capsule that now sits on an end-table shelf in our living room. Close by but clean. I adore it!

How would (or how do) you preserve wedding keepsakes?
