How Scrapbooking Ideas Work in Your Wedding Invitation Designs
By Nicola Ray

There are many inexpensive ways to make your wedding invitations elegant without it costing you the earth. A relatively cheap technique for creating lovely wedding invitations is to use traditional scrapbooking ideas. Whether you want your wedding invitations pretty or posh, there are plenty of scrapbooking ideas that can work for you:

Pretty patterned paper can give your wedding invitations a very sweet look. Some possibilities for use include framing the page with it, alternating patterned paper with vellum paper to create a layered look, or using patterned paper instead of traditional white wedding invitations.

Little embellishments can add color and excitement to your wedding invitations too. Consider using scrapbooking techniques like adding glitter to make the whole page sparkle, affixing ribbons to add color, create border designs or divide the invite. You could also decorate the corners of each page of the wedding invitations with embossed stickers that add dimension and style.

A very popular scrapbooking technique is to use punches. Punches are little bits of paper that are cut into shapes with a small “puncher”. They are available in all sorts of designs. A great way to add a more “upscale” look to your wedding invitations without adding a lot of cost to your budget is to add wedding-motif punches. Use them to create a patterned border, be the focus of the design or just as an accent to enhance the design. Experiment with different shapes and different arrangements to create classy wedding invitations that your guests will want to admire over and over again.

Your wedding invitations can have the customized look that you want without the expense. All that you need to do is explore your creative side and learn for yourself how scrapbooking ideas can work in your wedding invitations.
