Planning a ceremony of life memorial? The experience can offer an intimate time for friends and family members to remember the best (and most difficult) of times with your loved one. What better way to start the conversation than with a memory table runner?

Scan photos, letters — anything precious and printable — that speak to the moments during your loved one’s life. If you want to go for a more sprawling look, firmly attach your images to the fabric or paper runner so that they can spill off of the table’s sides (without actually falling, of course).

Contrastingly, you can mock-up the memory runner to the table’s size. That way, you can simply place the photos and arrange them with little hassle. The best part? With just as much ease, guests will get to pick up a party favor that preserves a precious memory.

What would you add to your memory runner? We look forward to your comments below.
