The honeymoon is never really over – but you know that! Keeping honeymoon mementos is a fun way to celebrate romantic honeymoon memories. But what should you do with those tickets, tags, postcards and other keepsakes you brought home? Don’t let them end up lost or thrown away. Instead, keep the romantic celebration going by using them to create unique honeymoon mementos!
Using a map of the area where you stayed is a nice way to think back to your special trip.
Develop an Eye for Honeymoon Keepsakes
If you save your honeymoon keepsakes now, it’s easy to relive honeymoon memories tomorrow. Little things like tickets or maps may seem trivial, but they’re key to creating special honeymoon mementos you’ll cherish for years. Here are some things to consider keeping or buying;
- Preserved flowers from your room or dinner table
- Trinkets or jewelry that celebrate the culture of your honeymoon destination
- Paper items like postcards, maps, business cards, brochures, tickets, luggage tags, interesting packaging and menus from special dinners
- Shells, sand or rocks (If allowed through customs.)
- Small flags
- Cork
- Travel journal for making notes
Display or Store Honeymoon Keepsakes
Personalised honeymoon albums are great, but there are also more practical ways to relive your honeymoon. Consider some of these projects to preserve your honeymoon memories.
- Create keepsake jars. Use those special mementos like corks or shells in your keepsake jar.
- Make menu dishtowels, and you’ll never forget that special dinner!
- Put tourist maps to work as photo mats.
- Use tickets or other interesting paper items to decoupage a change tray or paperweight.
It’s likely you’ll be very busy setting up your new residence and writing thank you notes after your honeymoon, so don’t stress if you can’t get to your honeymoon mementos right away.
Store your honeymoon keepsakes safely, and they’ll be ready for you when you want them.
Happy trips down honeymoon memory lane.
