Ditto on the Things Remembered suggestion - we got one that was engraved from my MIL.

Hallmark Stores, Target, Wal-Mart usually have at least one or two "First" ornaments. I have seen them in a lot of Pharmacies - like Rite-Aid, Walgreens and CVS - especially near the card aisle.

I also love the Lenox ornaments avalible - if you keep your eyes open you can find good deals on them.

I made my own, using a regular ornament, silver ribbon (from our wedding) and silver permanent marker bought from the arts and craft store. Total cost, like 1$. lol.

Some highschoolsand churches have craft fairs around this time of year... and they can make custom ornaments. I''ve seen craft tables like that before and their stuff wasn''t too pricey and ADORABLE!

Also, if you like custom stuff- sometimes you can create your own w/ your favorite wedding photo - like a zazzle or walmart... to give some examples of inexpensive but cute ornaments...

Have fun w/ this!!

I usually find them at Hallmark stores, on Ebay, or in specialized Christmas shops in town.

I have the Lenox bride and groom - we already had 1st xmas ornaments from the first xmas we were together, so I wanted one that was very clearly wedding-y and more keepsake looking. Frankly, it's not that exciting in the box (looks kinda cheap) but it looks very pretty on the tree. I really wanted a waterford - I can't remember if I wasn't a fan of the wedding one that year, or if it just said "Our first.." or if it was just more than I wanted to spend. Anyway, I think for the first married xmas, it's worth getting one that is a keepsake rather than the typical plastic hallmark, if that helps you narrow it down or justify a purchase :)
