Weddingbee boards

Any ideas for a table or other way to honor those family members who have passed, as well as honor my grandparents who are unable to travel to my wedding.  I would like this to be together at the same area.

We are having a small table to itself w/3 tall thick candles for each person that has passed or cannot be there - each candle will have a ribbon around it with a small charm with their picture in it, plus a something of theirs attached to it - for example, a marine corps pin or my grandfather's Moose Lodge pin. The candles will be lit prior to wedding party entering for the ceremony.

I'm going to try to include a lot of old photos because we have only one grandparent left between us. I also think it's so cool to see weddings through the ages. I'm hoping to have it on a table with the guest book. The candle idea sounds great, but not sure if the venue will let me.

I am not sure what I would do about those whom have passed on, pictures is a nice idea.

However, for your grandparents whom can not be there I think having a good wishes letter or card written from them to ya'll displayed would be nice.
