A framed photo on the wall is a lovely, time-honored way to commemorate life’s milestones, but what about your other mementos and keepsakes? Instead of putting those items on a shelf or letting them get buried in a drawer somewhere, put together a shadowbox to celebrate your favorite memories. Below are some of the occasions you might want to document with a beautiful shadowbox.

4 Milestones That Call for a Shadowbox

1. Military Retirement

Service members retiring from the military often want an attractive way to display reminders of the years they spent serving their country. A shadowbox can incorporate different elements from their entire career, like enlistment photos, ranks and insignia, medals, and parts of their uniforms.

2. Birth of a Child

When it comes to life milestones, nothing is as significant as the birth of a child. With a shadowbox, combine a sonogram and some photos with baby booties, your child’s first pacifier, and other important mementos you’ll want to keep forever.

3. A Wedding

Newlyweds love to keep their bouquets, announcements, and other souvenirs of their weddings, and a shadowbox makes the perfect display. They come in all shapes and sizes, and can even be custom-made, so there’s no limit to what can be framed. Some brides choose to keep their dress in a shadowbox and display it as art after their weddings. 

4. College Graduation

After years of work, you’ve finally graduated from college and are ready to start your career. To recognize this achievement, you can create a shadowbox with your degree, the mortarboard and tassel, or even programs and confetti from the event.
