Now that November is over, I’m hoping all my drama is too.. Alot of emotion was shared over that time and I would just like to take the opportunity and show some love to all the people that showed me love!
I opened up about a very dark place that I was in and I did not expect the love that I received from it! You tend to forget that the people around you really do love and care for you- ALOT and by me opening up only allowed my close friends and family to reach out and just be there.. So here’s me, getting all soppy, saying THANK YOU! You have no idea how you helped me get through it and for that I am truly grateful..
I just love weddings- LOVE! I love everything about it- The flowers, the decor, how the bride is going to look, the list goes on and on. The thing I love the most is the invitation. To me the invitation is the mood setter and the vibe to how the wedding will look and feel- kinda like a first impression thing.. know what I mean…
So you could guess my excitement when we get an invitation to attend one, but at the same time the sadness comes over me because I know that when the celebration is over, the beautiful invitation that once displayed on my fridge will be re-homed in my dustbin.. So in reality it’s money going straight to the bin.
So I thought of a way to save pieces of the invitation, if not all of it ( save money on buying a card that will also be thrown away for those non-sentimental couples) and give it back to the couple in a monetary card form. I got lucky because with this invite had a lot that I could work with so I definitely used what I could, sometimes it wont always work out that the invite will come with so many little extra’s but work with what you go.
I giggle to myself because I cant help but think what the couples’ will say when they receive it – “Gees they cheapskates, they cant even buy a proper card” OR “This is kinda lame”, or maybe it will be a positive reaction- they will think its great and appreciate it.
Regardless of the outcome, I’m excited to share the results of my recent recycled wedding invitation.
PS: Make sure you keep record of the wedding details of the invitation, otherwise you might be in a bit of a pickle. Now excuse me while I go call the bride for directions to the venue.
I cut out our name to place it inside of the card.I then cut out their name to place in the windowPerfect fit
I used two pieces of card to write a message to the bride and groom.
I had written a little note to the Bride & Groom
