I live in NJ, so I'm lucky; I have dozens of fabulous museums to visit whenever I need art. (My favorite is the Montclair Art Museum, a small museum with an amazing collection and traveling shows that rival anything in nearby New York City.) If you're an art lover, you could donate to your favorite museum or gallery in lieu of giving other kinds of favors. You might use the museum's notecards for your invites or save the dates, and raid the gift shop for attendants' gifts or even a little surprise for yourself. Most of the gift shops also have toys and kid friendly stuff for the younger members of your party. If your family lives locally, they might really love a membership so they can enjoy an afternoon of art any time they'd like. It's a wonderful way to keep life beautiful!
