What to Do With... Old Wedding Invitations?!

My mother was a sentimental person who kept a lot of souvenirs... Going through her things is hard. (I have to be in a mood for throwing things out!)

Recently I came across a pile of old wedding invitations.

Do I keep them or throw them out...?

Just toss them! a friend suggested when I told her what I was doing.

In the end, I did throw quite a few out. But I slipped a few of the family invitations into a file of genealogical information.

Among the most interesting - to me - were these two... An invitation to the wedding of one of my father's cousins... And a second, dated about 25 years later, to the wedding of his daughter!
