50th Wedding Anniversary for my parents

June 20th we had a wonderful 50th anniversary celebration for my parents in SLC, Utah. It was so fun to have Heritage Makers at my finger tips to create some AMAZING things to display atthe party.

This is the table "conversation cards" we used to get the guest talking during dinner. These are made from the deck of Playing Cards. The backs were all the same picture of my parents wedding day. The insides were questions for the guests to talk about. Everything from favorite foods to favorite vacation spots to favorite actors -- here is the sample. The guests LOVED THIS and many of them took the cards home!



I also made 20 different 8.5x11 pages that were on display that had the happenings of 1959, the year they were married. Everything from the Economy and Technology to the Academy Awards. Another hit with the guests. And of course, a Beautiful 16x20 Canvas of the






And of course, A new wedding album with all their photos that I had scanned in. I used a template and just dragged and dropped my photos in, deleted pages I didn't want, changed some text and Voila' it was done! http://www.heritagemakers.com/projectBrowserStandAlone.cfm?projectId=977392&productId=9&projectSponsor=457785 just click this link to view it!





Then we sent each guest off with a Thank You and special message from Mom and Dad-- this is cut from a 12x12 - 4 to a page so the dimensions are roughtly 6x6.
