Creative way to store/Organize Wedding Cards??
I just recently got married and got alot of beautiful wedding cards. I do not want to just throw them in a shoe box and forget about them. There were alot of encouraging words and just flat out beautiful cards given to us. Any creative ideas on how I could display them or something????
Re: Creative way to store/Organize Wedding Cards??
I've seen tutorials online on how to make a book out of them ... you can hole punch the sides and put in a binder-style portfolio .. or buy the special glue that makes a binding and actually bind them all together with a creative cover ... or maybe take a few choice ones that you really like and make a shadow box ...?
At first, choose a coordinating color of thick ribbon and run it flat against the wall, maybe in a horizontal zigzag. Just open the cards and flop them over it.
Later, put them into a book or create an album, using the cards as pages - you can trim and overlap them somewhat, and use blanker cards as background and then center the one with lots of writing on that page. You can also tear them down the fold and make a small (18-inch square) framed piece of art with the front pages (of the cards without much writing) to mount and frame (purchase the frame first so you can make it to that size).
I displayed mine on a beautiful silver tray I received from my grandmother in the living room. One fun idea is that you can keep your favorites (most beautiful, sentimental...etc) and bring them out for your wedding anniversary each year as a nice way to remember your big day.
