Ten years ago my Aunt Kelly sent out invites to my bridal shower in which she included 2 recipes cards and the note below. When guests arrived the day of my shower, they placed their recipe cards in a recipe box my mom purchased for me. This present has been a continued blessing to me-and now (hopefully) a blessing to you. My blog is a “living” version of my family recipes which came about from this very gift.
If you have a friend or relative who is getting married. Please think about doing this for them…it is SO special!
The very letter
My recipe box given to me on the day of my shower by my mom.
Does this look familiar? I think stains add character, don’t you?
That’s a fabulous idea! And with today’s technology, it could easily be made into a real hard bound book with a picture of each person who contributes next to the recipe!
Blessings,

I got the same gift almost 14 years ago! I still use it today. It really is special.
This is a fantastic idea! I am the matron of honor for my best friend’s wedding that is in April, and this is a PERFECT idea to do for her shower! Thanks so much for posting! 🙂
I got one of these from my aunt at my shower. 🙂 You cannot go wrong giving a new bride something like this!!
I have been apart of this for many of my friends that have gotten married. I hope that when its my turn to get married that someone would think this is a great idea (I might just have to plant this idea into the person hosting the shower)… haha! It just be such a blessing to have those tired and true family tested recipes!
