I'm a bit of a hoarder. Not to a pathologic state, but I definitely find it hard to throw things away. And my friends aren't making it any easier on me: I feel especially guilty when I even think about throwing away their wedding invitations. I know they spend a ton of time designing them and a ton of money actually creating them, so I can never bring myself to toss the cards into the recycling bin (Hiyo! I'm environmentally conscious), even if the wedding itself has already happened. Which is why I have a four-inch stack of premium quality paper stuffed inside thick envelopes sitting on my desk.
Aside: can you believe that there's actually a Wikipedia article on the history of wedding invitations?
Well, now that I've actually read the article, I have to also ask: can we go back to announcing weddings by means of a town crier? That would really save me the turmoil of having to decide whether to keep or get rid of all of these invitations on my desk...
