As part of the 3 things to give a bride, I have said I would sort out the something old, what kind of things are "something old" ?

TIA

Thanks Ladies, some great ideas. I am going to suggest the gold cross that our Grandpa bought each of us, for the first time he met us all. She can hid it in her knickers/bra ...

I had an old locket that my gran won in 1940 with a picture of my gran and grandad in (both passed) sewn into my wedding dress with a bit of blue ribbon.:)

Jewllery from someone special is such a nice idea.

My old was the shoes that I originally bought for my first wedding - however that one was cancelled when I met my (now) husband - but what else was I going to do with a pair of cream satin shoes :) Good thing you didn't tell us that before the speeches :D.

I wore my great grandma's wedding ring - I also had a tiny horseshoe charm that was my Mum's when she was little sewn to the inside of my dress - that was old and borrowed.

my "old" was the pair of shoes i wore. i bought it 2 months before the wedding and wore it occasionally so i knew it wouldnt hurt me on the day.

I wore my mothers' pearl necklace which was old and something borrowed too. It can be anything really, but not something bought for the wedding .... good luck
