This weekend, before the pleasant rain shower known as Sandy drizzled by, we started working on presents for our parents.
Just to make sure nobody peeks…
Following in the footsteps of many a bee before me, I decided to grab some gorgeous picture frames and fill them with placeholder pictures, to be replaced as soon as the wedding photos come in.
Rather than taking new pictures or drawing stick figures, I just cropped some of our engagement photos and added in the words:
 |
| Photos by Emile Frey / Crappy Photoshop job by me |
We printed these as 8x10s and put them in lovely frames that just need to be wrapped.

Imagine them filled with beautiful photos of us with Mr. Potion’s mom, Mr. Potion’s dad, and my parents.
What did you give your parents to say thank you?
Cute! Picture frames just make a great gift for parents!
I always love the picture frame idea – especially since my mom and grandma both display every one they’ve ever received, haha.
I’ve always loved this idea.
PD: I really like the last picture of you two, very romantic.
Mrs. Potion, Herndon, VA Age and Occupation: 23, IT Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Sales Engagement Date: November 26, 2011 Wedding Date: November 2012 Venue: St. John’s Catholic Church / SpringHouse, Alexander City, AL About Me: We are two complete and total geeks that met at engineering camp, of all places, and after several years of being in love long-distance, we’re finally at the beginning of a lifetime together. We’re working with a modest budget to plan a long-distance wedding full of handmade details, Harry Potter references, and, most importantly, lots of love. I could spend an entire afternoon watching Food Network while shopping for shoes online, while he’d prefer to pwn some n00bs on Halo while blasting Deadmau5 on his stereo. I taught him how to swing dance and he taught me to appreciate Tolkien; he introduced me to LOST and I introduced him to the BBC’s Sherlock. I’m a Gryffindor, he’s a Ravenclaw, and we can spend hours discussing and debating the finer points of Rowling’s masterpiece. We’re so excited to be setting out on this adventure and I can’t wait to share all the details with you!
