Store Your Wedding Treasures Safely, Smartly and Stylishly
We recently
received some suggestions from Sharon
Naylor of how our Rubbermaid products help keep newlyweds organized and
thought we would share:
Throughout your wedding planning,
you kept all of your notes organized in a binder or on a spreadsheet, knowing
that the organized bride is a happier bride. You know where everything is, can
find a contract or a receipt at a moment’s notice and have all of your bridal
party members’ and vendors’ phone numbers programmed into your cell phone.
Being organized makes wedding planning a breeze.
After
the wedding, organization is even more
important! You have so many beautiful keepsakes that you’ll surely want to
store safely and securely so that they’re in perfect condition when you take
them out in the future to reminisce and perhaps even show your kids someday.
Safely and securely are the key
words here, and that’s where Rubbermaid becomes your saving grace. When items,
particularly paper items, are stored
in your home, they’re in danger of getting ruined by moisture,
less-than-perfect air quality indoors, even bugs who like to munch on paper. As
scary as it is to think about, some bugs are known for being attracted to the
glue on envelopes. Besides critters, you would surely want to protect your
priceless keepsakes from any water damage due to floods, pipe leaks, and any
kinds of spills in your home. Wedding couples who have stored their wedding day
keepsakes in cardboard shoe boxes almost always experience damage to their
invitations and other items, so I highly recommend Rubbermaid storage boxes for
all of your wedding keepsakes. With these inexpensive, sealed-lid storage
boxes, your keepsake items are safe, secure, protected from the elements, and
bug-free. Your treasures will be safe.
And organized. Imagine the top shelf of your closet highly
organized with stacks of these clear or fashion-lidded storage boxes, rather
than mismatched shoe boxes or even the paper bags that some brides and grooms
use. Their result? A mess. Your result? An organized collection of your
keepsakes, easily arranged and immediately identifiable.
Here are some of the wedding keepsakes that will be happy to
spend their Happily Ever After in your collection of Rubbermaid
storage boxes:
- Invitations
& Save the Date Cards
- Maps
and inserts
- Greeting
cards from guests, for wedding, shower and engagement gifts
- Souvenirs
from showers and engagement parties
- Your
bow bouquet
- Honeymoon
keepsakes such as shells, postcards, shell anklets
- Copies
of your registry and personal wedding website – printed out for storage because
many aren’t kept online forever!
