A wedding time capsule is a great idea to make with your partner in the months and weeks leading up to your wedding.

1. Find a suitable container or box to use as your capsule. You could opt for a decorative box, or buy a blank box from a craft store such as Spotlight and paint and decorate it yourself.

2. Decide what you want to put in your time capsule. Some suggestions are:
- Old concert and movie tickets from when you were dating.
- Photographs from the ‘dating’ years.
- Your engagement party invitation.
- Wedding stationery such as invitations, rsvp cards, place cards, ceremony program
- Your wedding guestbook.

You may also want to put things inside your capsule that reflect your current world such as

-Newspaper clipping
-Magazine headlines
-Clippings of your favourite shows, bands

Deciding when to open your capsule is up to you. Your ten year wedding anniversary is a great suggestion. You can share the opening process with any kids that may have popped up over the last decade. You may even like to reseal the capsule with new items such as your kid’s baby photos and mementos and then reopen the capsule on your 25th anniversary!
