Decoupage Memory Box

• A handmade decoupage memory box is a truly personal gift that any bride will cherish. Use photos of the bride and groom for decorating the box, including childhood photos, as well a photos of the couple during their courtship. Wedding photos can also be used if the box will be given after the wedding day. To make a decoupage memory box, you will need a plain craft box and enough photos to cover the box and the lid in a photo collage. Decoupage glue is not fast-drying, so allow suffiicient time for it to dry thoroughly.
  
  

Fabric Memory Box

• A fabric memory box can be created using a scrap piece of material from the bride's wedding dress or any fabric that matches the color scheme of the wedding. For this project, use a craft box or a photo storage box. After wrapping the box and its lid in fabric, decorate it with beads or gems that match the bride's dress or flowers identical to those in her bouquet.
  
  

Invitation Memory Box

• Using the bride and groom's wedding invitation will create a memory box that's truly personal. The invitation can be affixed to the lid of a box that has been wrapped and decorated in a wedding theme. Decoupaging the invitation is another idea.
  
  

Engraved Memory Box

• Memory boxes purchased from a retail store are an alternative for those who aren't handy at crafts. Store-bought boxes can be just as nice as the handmade versions, especially if they're personalized. Boxes can be engraved with the bride and groom's names, their wedding date or simply their initials or monogram.
