It’s crunch time, your wedding is coming up within the next three months, your husband is slacking off and you still haven’t sent out your wedding invitations to friends, family, and loved ones. Suffice to say, what you need to do is somehow come up with creative, affordable, and memorable invitations to send off to the invitees before you’re forced to buy a stack of hallmark cards and end up as the laughing stock among your group of friends. By the end of this article, you’ll have found at least three different ways to construct invitations that you can send off to your friends and loved ones feeling reassured that they will enjoy the heartfelt sentiments behind something made by hand that will give the recipients the feeling that you made the invitations from the infamous Cyperus Plant.
I’m going to run you through one quick project that will give you tons of ideas for future wedding invitations, or even invitations to your future baby shower. You’re going to need a 3 foot by 4 foot piece of heavy, white, matte paper which you can buy from any store you like. For the next step you’ll need a few cans of spray mount, which is essentially spray-able glue which you’ll then spray the entire white space of the matte paper. The next step is to get a large amount of leaves, make sure they are completely free of dirt and then lay them out on top of the matte paper until you can’t see anymore white space. Go out and buy glossy, clear finish paint and go over the entire white board to give the leaves a shine. You should now have a beautiful, natural mosaic. Grab your knife, scissors, or cutting device of choice and slice up the mosaic into rectangles the size you want to mail off. Viola! Just write down a personal message to your guests and you’ll have personalized wedding invitations with minimal costs and half a day’s worth of effort.
