Hey Fam!
I wanted to let everyone know that we are going to fold 1000 paper cranes for the wedding in May and we need help! If you know how to fold paper cranes, want to learn, and have some extra minutes around the edges, we'd love for you to get a pack of origami paper (any color, hopefully standard size) and fold some cranes and send them our way!
1000 paper cranes means luck and longevity and life and love and apparently all things good. We'd love your help! Since we are doing the decorations ourselves, we thought this would be a cool addition.
Love, C

Thousand origami cranes (千羽鶴 Senbazuru?) is a group of one thousand origami paper cranes (鶴 tsuru) held together by strings. An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. The crane in Japan is one of the mystical or holy creatures (others include the dragon and the tortoise), and is said to live for a thousand years. In Japan, it is commonly said that folding 1000 paper origami cranes makes a person's wish come true. (expansion needed) This makes them popular gifts for special friends and family.
An auspicious beginning!
The crane is a great symbol and we sure have folded our share over the years!
How many rectangular paper placemats have I torn into squares so my restless little girls could keep their hands busy while waiting for the food to arrive at a restaurant? Many.
We are crane folders from way back.
I love this idea, Carrie.
maybe a thousand!
