What on earth does one find to buy as a wedding gift for the bride and groom who already have everything? Perhaps the couple have already set up home together so they do not need the normal 'nest making' wedding presents, or they are the type of people that a normal wedding present wouldn't greatly appeal to (and we all know at least one couple like that). The answer is to personalize the gift, to either make it yourself or have somebody else make it for you.
A memory box springs to mind, and what better than a wedding keepsake gift ?
A wedding Memory Box holds keepsakes to remind the couple of their special day together. The Memory Box contains all of the evocative items together, all the memories safe in one place. As time passes by the Memory Chest can be re-opened and the keepsakes held and touched to awake the feelings of the couple's Wedding Day.
Items retained in the keepsake box are diverse and obviously personal but could be things like a buttonhole, a garter, a Place Setting Name Card, Order Of Wedding Service, a champagne cork, Invitation Card and photographs to name but a few.
But what kind of box? Looking on the internet there are many many types of box; at one extreme there are ones that can be made by oneself of cardboard, or mass produced ones bought from shops that will obviously not last more than a few months, or at the other extreme are bespoke boxes made by craftsmen with all of the associated care and attention.
The bespoke craftsmen made boxes can be created from exquisite timbers, personalised with silver name cartouches and even incorporate the character, traits and personalities of the happy couple in a beautiful marquetry memory box.
Built into the box in marquetry work could be scenes that incorporate the couple's love for each other and images of their own hobbies and loves also so in effect the chest becomes an extension of their own personalities.
In this way the giver of the present would be remembered forever and the quality of the box would ensure that it would be handed down by generations to come thus ensuring it becomes a family treasure in its own right.
