No. Our house is too small. I think I did save them, until we bought our first place. I'm sure it would have been cute to have them in a scapebook (although I'm way not a scrapbook kinda girl) or to scan the really good ones and make a photobook of the messages....but I didn't do any of those things.
We only got 4 cards (my parents, his parents, my grandparents, his aunt uncle & grandma). I've kept all 4 of them for the (almost) 2 years that we've been married. They don't take up much room, so I don't plan on ditching them anytime soon.
Nope. However, I had a signature mat for our huge rehersal dinner and forgot to have people sign it. So, instead I cut the signatures out of their cards and glued them to the signature mat.
Yep, I keep all cards! I dunno why..I hate throwing peoples thoughts and well wishes away I guess. I kept all of the cards from my baby shower and when DD was born, but I'm putting those into her scrapbook.
maybe one day I'll get rid of the rest. Like when I'm 80 probably..
Being the minimalist I am, I didn't keep them. I don't want to seem like I'm not sentimental or anything but really, it's just a card. I couldn't ever envision myself opening a box of cards that I kept and sitting down to read them again. So I recycled them.
Also, it's not like there was anything terribly profound written in any of them. They were all the standard "lots of love on your wedding day, may you have many happy years, etc". I'm not usually such a downer, I swear : )
Yes, and I also have the ones from when DD was born and her first birthday as well.
When my grandmother died, we found a trunk that none of us knew existed, and inside were the cards given to her and my grandfather when they were married. It was one of the most special times we shared as a family after she died--sitting on her living room floor, passing them to each other, and smiling. I want my grandchildren to find ours someday, and reminisce about how much grandpa and grandma loved each other too.

I have a collage of them framed by our wedding portraits.
