Organization of the wedding begins with choosing the date and venue of the ceremony. When the selection of the civil register office and the exact date are decided, there is still time for further preparations for the event.
The selection and distribution of invitations is an honorable part of this process. In this publication, we will discuss how to make the original wedding invitations on our own so that they will be admired by all those invited.
Connect a fantasy and analyze the interests of your loved ones. Compare them with the style of the wedding. Then this process will bring positive emotions and a result worthy of pride.
Invitations with their own hands - varieties and technologies
The design of invitations can vary greatly depending on these factors:
- The style of the wedding ceremony;
- Age category of guests;
- The interests of those invited (their way of life);
- Dresses of future spouses.
Depending on the style of the wedding ceremony, the invitations may be bright, tender, sophisticated, or stylized. Let's consider the most popular types of invitations.
"Frame" - the most simple design for execution
Making such a postcard is pretty simple. You need to choose the color and size of the cardboard. Then you fold the sheet in half and cut two or three holes, which can be square, round or rectangular. You will need to insert your photos into these holes by fixing them with glue. Write an invitation text inside the card. The whole process will take no more than 15 minutes. This card design is good for its versatility. Similar cards can be given to young and mature people.
Invitations with your own hands in vintage style
Gentle and touching vintage postcards will also make a positive impression on your loved ones. You will need to make them:
- Colored cardboard
- Lace
- Satin ribbons
- Clay.
- Scissors
The color of the cardboard should be matched to the bride's dress, as well as lace and satin ribbons. If you sew a dress to order - buy the raw materials with a reserve, so that part can be used to decorate cards.
Manufacturing technology:
- Choose the right size of cardboard;
- Fold the sheet in half;
- Write a welcome note;
- Write the title of the card on the title side of the card;
- Decorate the card with lace and satin ribbon.
Decorations need to be securely glued together. Text should preferably be written with an ink pen to create a full retro effect.
Wedding invitations for creative people
If you or your loved ones are creative, a postcard using notes is a great way to let them know about a previous event. You will need it to be made:
- Cardboard;
- Fabric (matching the color of the wedding dress);
- Glue / Threads;
- Notebook sheet;
- Scissors;
- Satin ribbon;
- Artificial flowers.
- Manufacturing technology:
Make an envelope of cardboard;
Sew the "cat" out of fabric;
Draw a heart on a sheet of paper;
Cut out the heart and stick it on the fabric;
Glue/sew satin ribbon to the base of the cattail (so you can tie a bow);
Decorate the outside of the cattail with artificial flowers;
Cut out a smaller heart (there will be an invitation text on it);
Write the invitation text;
Place the smaller heart in an envelope;
Put the envelope in the "cattail".
The process is somewhat more time-consuming than the previous two options. But the result will please you and your guests.
Invitations with your own hands in scroll format
This type of postcards is very popular. If you choose it, your task will be to find the "aged" paper of the desired shade, styling (the effect of abrasion or burned paper). You can use stylized accessories to bandage scrolls or use a regular whip. The technology of making a postcard consists of writing text and minimizing the convolution.
How do I sign a wedding invitation effectively?
You will be able to sign the card manually or use a printer (using a variety of fonts, orientation, and other settings). The standard structure of the invitation text usually looks like this:
- Addressing a guest;
- The reason for a holiday;
- Date and time of the event;
- The place of the wedding;
- Names of future spouses
You can add jokes, a map and other details if you wish. In any case, be guided by your thoughts, feelings for each person. Write sincerely, then the text of the card will find a response in the heart of the recipient. If you have poetic abilities - you can write rhymed text.
