Use a Wedding Invitation as Part of Your Scrapbook Page
When you go to a wedding there are all sorts of keepsakes. First, you get the invitation which sets the tone of the wedding from the beginning. At the church you get a paper program for the service and at the reception there are napkins and other favors with the bride and groom’s names on them. Why not include these in your scrapbook pages to make them more unique? If you are concerned about the items being acidic and wrecking your pages you can buy a spray by Krylon called, “Make It Acid-Free.” I have used it on some items to ensure the safety of my pages. One of my favorite things from a wedding to include in my scrapbooking is the invitation. I can usually work it into the page with photos around it and then you also have all of the important journaling included on the invite. The bride and groom, the date, the location, etc. are all on there so you don’t have to find a place to put all of that on your page. I usually keep wedding invitations for just that reason until I complete the page(s) for a wedding so I can remember all of the details even if I choose not to use the invitation on a page. This page is very simple yet elegant using the invitation in the middle and then placing the pictures around it. I used some silver sticker letters and jeweled brads to make it a little more formal looking for the occasion.
This is a beautiful idea! I hope to start scrapbooking my wedding soon. Thank you!
