Wedding Invitation Crafts

Wedding invitation crafts make wonderful gifts for the bride and groom. They also make thoughtful keepsakes for their parents and grandparents.

When my niece got married several years ago, I made her wedding gift. I turned the invitation she sent me into a decorative plaque. She said it was her favorite gift which made me feel great.

I framed her invitation in a glass and wood frame, 8.5" x 11". I bought some decorative paper and foil in her wedding colors. I used some of the decorative paper as the background. I then trimmed the ends of the invitation with decorative-edged scissors and glued it on to the paper with the invitation wording showing. I cut out some hearts and shapes in contrasting paper and put some foil stripes on the paper as well.

I curled small pieces of ribbon on to the foil. I wrote their names and the date of the wedding at the top of the paper and framed it. I wish I had thought to take a photo of it but I did not.


Another idea is to decorate the front cover of a scrapbook or a photo album with the invitation. Trim the invitation down to size and then use some fun decorative-edged scissors to give it an interesting look. Glue it on. Sprinkle a little white glitter around the edges. If you choose to do this, put some glue down first where you want the glitter to be. Decoupage the invitation on the front cover to protect it and to keep the glitter from coming off.

If the album has a see-through pocket, trim the invitation with decorative-edged scissors and slide it in the pocket. These crafts are so appreciated and treasured by the happy couple.

Wedding invitation crafts given to the bride and groom and to their families will be cherished for years to come.
