There are so many options for your invite after your wedding day. The simplest, most popular way to preserve your wedding invitation is with a frame.
Your wedding invitation is not just a piece of paper; it’s a cherished memento of one of the most important days of your life. After your wedding day has come and gone, finding the perfect way to preserve and display your invitation allows you to relive those special memories for years to come. In this blog post, we’ll explore some creative options for what to do with your wedding invitation after your wedding day.
Frame It: The simplest and most popular way to preserve your wedding invitation is by framing it. Choose a beautiful frame that complements your invitation’s design and display it in your home as a reminder of your special day. Whether hung on the wall or placed on a shelf, a framed invitation adds a touch of elegance to your décor while keeping your wedding memories alive.
Design a Custom Wedding Invitation Decoupage Plate: Get creative with your wedding invitation by turning it into a unique decoupage plate. Use decoupage techniques to adhere a copy of your invitation to a plain ceramic plate, then seal it with a protective coating. This custom-made keepsake can be displayed in your home or given as a thoughtful gift to loved ones.
Turn It Into a Keepsake Box: Transform your wedding invitation into a beautiful keepsake box to store precious mementos from your wedding day. Add embellishments such as ribbons, beads, or photographs to personalize the box and make it truly unique. Use it to hold items such as dried flowers, wedding favors, or love letters exchanged on your special day.
Create a Marriage Certificate Pillow: Combine your wedding invitation with your marriage certificate to create a one-of-a-kind marriage certificate pillow. Print a copy of your invitation onto fabric and sew it onto a plain pillow cover along with your marriage certificate. This charming keepsake adds a cozy touch to your home décor while commemorating your union in a meaningful way.
Invitation Shadowbox: Capture the essence of your wedding day in a shadowbox display featuring your wedding invitation, along with other mementos such as photographs, flowers, and memorabilia. Arrange the items in the shadowbox to create a visually appealing collage that tells the story of your love and commitment.
Personal Experience: Share a personal anecdote about how you chose to preserve your wedding invitation. For example, mention how you framed your invitation but also highlight a unique creation made by your maid of honor, such as a Christmas ornament crafted from wedding flowers, invitation, and gown trimmings.
Your wedding invitation is a precious keepsake that deserves to be preserved and cherished long after your wedding day. Whether framed, decoupaged, or transformed into a decorative keepsake, finding the perfect way to display your invitation allows you to celebrate the love and memories of your special day for years to come. Consider these creative options or come up with your own unique idea to preserve your wedding invitation and keep the magic of your wedding day alive forever.
