Remind how much I am hatin cleaning out our guest room!! 5 years of putting stuff in here until we know what to do with it is making for a lot of crap!

What do I do with leftover wedding invites? Like 20 of them?

You keep one or two, and you throw the rest away! Or you send them to your mother.

haha

but this exactly (or MIL) - it's hard to throw away after all that hard work!

Ok, all momentous are in one box, including shoes and veil. I lost our vows though!!

Should I give away all of the flip flops we had? I way over bought... I don't want to deal with selling them. Should I keep them?

Are they your size/generic/rewearable? If you wear flip-flops and they're non-weddingy, keep your size in a box to pull out when you need new ones. Donate the rest (haha, I'd take some 8s!)

I have a box of our wedding mementos. I only kept a few invitations and got rid of the rest.

One day I'll get a shadow box frame and put together items like an invite, napkins and pics.

I put the flip flops in the goodwill bag! What makes me sad is that once I'm done cleaning I still have to go to Ikea...

[FrozenSunshine]

You weren't the only one cleaning today! An entire truckload went to Goodwill by 1pm today.

We took them to the nearest Goodwill - I figure someone can use them now more than I need them in 5 years. Also we had like 30 extra pairs and quite frankly, Old Navy flip flops are so cheap the cost of saving them (in terms of space) versus the cost of buying a new pair when I need a new pair just wasn't worth it.

+1

Everything was taken to goodwill! Hope someone can use em

Woo hoo! It's liberating dropping stuf off there.

I filled my car! I have some big stuff I couldn't do alone

I have the exact same problem...and I keep putting it off. DH keeps saying we should just throw away all the wedding stuff, but I want to go through it and keep some, and then sell or give away what is useable. It's just too much to deal with...so it sits there, out of sight for now.

this is exactly the problem with our wedding stuff.

Wow! I can't believe that all you guys still have your wedding stuff. I couldn't get rid of mine fast enough. This is what a heart of stone does to you.
