 I’ve discovered many families continue the bridal quilt practice that many did years ago…each person making a square for a quilt then getting together at a quilting bee to finish it.  A fun family project for a bridal gift can be part of this bridal quilt one or exist as its on own.

This one can consist of recipes. When family members contribute their square for the bridal quilt, they can give a recipe, too.

*These can be collected on 3 x 5 cards and put into a file.

*There are special recipe books you can purchase for acquiring family recipes.

*Have family members also write down memories associated with the recipe and add this to a recipe book.

*Collect pictures associated with special occasions when these recipes are served.

*Put the recipes on a computer disk that the bride can put on her computer and print off as she desires.

What have you done with recipes for a new bride? Were they family favorites with a history, or quick and easy ones? Any other ideas or suggestions.
