Thought Starters

Leaving a voice-mail is one thing – conveying a favorite memory can seem harder. To get past shyness, we suggest taking one of the following approaches.

1.) The first thing that comes to mind…
  • A trip that you took together
  • What you have in common
  • Where you met
  • A funny thing that happened to both of you
  • A party or dinner you attended together
  • A moment when the recipient helped or inspired you

Jot down a few notes. Then, call 1-877-OurQuilt (1-877-687-7845) with your invitation number (in the subject line of your e-mail invitation). As you record the message, imagine that the person you are celebrating is in the room with you.

2.) Show and Tell – with music …

Music is closely associated with memories – summer adventures, the first dance at a wedding, a Christmas long ago, a romance. Simply select a song that reminds you of the special person or couple.

  • Where were you when you last heard the song? What was going on in your life when the song was popular?
  • Why do you associate the recipient with that song? Any favorite images or quotes?
  • Is there a particular phrase in the song that is meaningful?

After jotting down a few notes, call 1-877-OurQuilt (1-877-687-7845) with your invitation number (in the subject line of your e-mail invitation). As you record your message, imagine that the person you are celebrating is sitting in the room.

3.) Show and Tell – with a quote …

Visit The Quote Garden or The Board of Wisdom to find a quote appropriate to your special person or couple.

Jot down a few notes. Then, call 1-877-OurQuilt (1-877-687-7845) with your invitation number (in the subject line of your e-mail invitation). As you read the quote and talk about how it pertains to the person you are celebrating, imagine that the person is in the room with you.
