A Wedding Gift Idea that is sure to delight the newlyweds!

This gift is "picture perfect"

Step 1

Search local artists or galleries for the location you want to remember. You will probably find numerous listings so don’t settle until you find something you really like. I found a great local gallery and was able to see the available paintings online. I then noticed that the artist had taken her art and had prints made on 5x7 notecards.

Step 2

Check to see if there is any information about the artwork. When or where it was done, any special local story about the scene etc. In my case, it was especially nice that the back of cards had a brief description of the scene. They were perfect! Even better, when I called the gallery, the artist agreed to write a note of congratulations on the back of the card.

Step 3

I received them and brought them to a local framing store, where they were professionally matted and framed, The back of the card with the description and note were affixed to the back of the frame. I used neutral color mattings and a simple wood frame. While the cost of the cards is nominal, the cost of professional matting and framing is not, but the end product was a beautiful and very special gift commemorating “Where it all started”.

Here was the finished gift!
