My mom dug out this funny little wedding book of hers last summer right before Steven and I got married. It was a promotional book for Frederick & Nelson department store with all sorts of (now hilariously outdated) advice about trousseaus, proper invitation etiquette, preparing for your first home, etc.

But at the very back of the book is a gem. It’s called The Bride’s Gift Record, and it’s where my parents recorded all the wedding gifts they received in 1966.

As it turns out, there were some extra pages. So naturally, we used them! Not only was it incredibly helpful to track our gift information all in one place, but it also has turned into this great little heirloom.

And yes, there are a few pages left for another generation.
