Memorial Table

So I know this can be somber...but I’m sure as everyone else did or will do..we want to have some sort of remeberance table for our relatives that have passed away. I have numerous uncles and grandparents unfortunately that have passed and my fiancé has some too. We wanted to kind of do something...
So I know this can be somber...but I’m sure as everyone else did or will do..we want to have some sort of remeberance table for our relatives that have passed away. I have numerous uncles and grandparents unfortunately that have passed and my fiancé has some too. We wanted to kind of do something different with the signage instead of the usual quotes that we see. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, we just wanted something a little different. So we decided on “eventually we’ll be together again, one sweet day”. We were listening to the radio and heard “one sweet day” by boyz ll men and Mariah Carey and I started crying. We just thought that was perfect....

How did you all do you’re table? With pictures and candles?! I’m just trying to get ideas!

    One of my bridesmaids is really into wood carving. So she made a frame that looks like a family tree to hold the photos.

    I don't think you should have a memorial table but that's just my opinion.

    I'm not going to do a table but I think I may do a memorial charm on my bouqet. My mother passed ten years ago but I've lost all four grandparents by now so I feel like if I do one I should do them all, which gets hard. I'm hoping family would understand if I just did my mom but... Not sure if it's worth the potential hurt feelings.

    I think this is a nice way to pay homage to people you were very close to without putting a noticable focus on it. Still it gets hard to draw a line...

    FMIL wanted to do this but it was a hard no for me. I just find it unnecessary and sad when it’s supposed to be a happy event. I lost a cousin of mine last year- very young. Not everyone wants to be reminded of this. Just my prospective on things.

    I am doing a memorial table. Centered in a bigger frame will be a picture of my mother with a poem that was on the back of her program from her program 6 years ago. On each side of that picture will be 2 smaller pictures of both of our 2 grandmothers.

    I'm doing a table with one of the cheesy lines I see all over Pinterest, haha, I'm not creative enough to come up with something new.

    I AM, however, getting a trinket made for my grandmother, whom I was very close to. It'll be in my wedding colors and will have a photo of her, and angels, because she collected angels and now she is one Smiley heart
