Glue tape to the back of the bow (approximately 2.0-3.0 cm). Glue the bow to the center of the ribbon (you can use a ruler to determine the middle). We cut out a rectangle measuring 14.3 cm by 33 cm from designer cardboard. Fold the resulting blank in half. Paste the invitation text on the right side. Place tape on the inside of the invitation with the text.
Glue the top part of the invitation to the base. Place tape on the bottom part (the one with the tape). Glue the lower part onto the workpiece, making an overlap of about 1 mm to hide the joint between the parts. Decorate the resulting invitation to your taste (for example, with beads and a flower).

Envelopes for wedding invitations
The bride and groom send invitations in advance to all guests who will be expected at the wedding ceremony. An invitation card is a traditional, best option. Envelopes for invitations that young people have made themselves will look especially tender. The postcards will remain intact in them - they will not be wrinkled, dirty, or torn. To make a cover, you can use a variety of materials: colored cardboard, paper, lace, fabric, beads, sequins. It is better to make a wedding envelope so that guests immediately understand in what style the celebration will take place.
Wanting to organize the upcoming holiday original and memorable, the future spouses try to think through every little detail, and make many accessories themselves, not only for the purpose of saving money. Unusual invitations look impressive and will surprise guests. It’s not difficult to make them yourself, but the work will require perseverance, painstakingness and imagination.
We offer a master class on how to make a simple, but at the same time unusual wedding invitation. What materials will you need:
- colored cardboard or paper;
- a simple pencil;
- glue;
- decorations: lace, beads, buttons, sequins, beads, ribbons;
- photo of the newlyweds;
- artificial flowers.
Let's get started:
- First you need to make cards with invitations, the size of which the envelope will be glued to. Using a simple pencil and a ruler, draw the diagram below on the wrong side of the paper.
- Carefully cut out the templates and fold along the lines. Glue the joints so that the glue does not get on the front side.
- Glue a photo of yourself together to the top of the cover - such an exclusive invitation will remain with the guests for a long time and will remind them of a wonderful wedding celebration.
- If desired, decorate the product with lace, beads, beads and other decorations.
The so-called “lace” cards, where invitation cards are inserted, look elegant and impressive. To make them you will need the following:
- sheets of thick paper/cardboard;
- thin paper;
- ribbons, braid;
- lace;
- stencils for ornament;
- glue;
- curly scissors.
How to make a “lace” card:
- Fold a sheet of thick paper or cardboard in half - this will be the basis for the future cover.
- Process the thin paper using curly scissors - this piece of paper will then contain the text of the invitation.
- Decorate the front side with braid, ribbon, beads, lace (you can use a lace napkin).
- Place your prepared personalized invitation inside.
- On both sides of the card, glue ribbons or ribbons that need to be tied so that the invitation sheet does not fall out.
Templates
A template for making envelopes in which wedding invitations will be placed makes their production much easier and allows you to use your own decorating ideas. To find such templates, just turn to Internet resources for help.
This video will show you how to make your own invitation envelope:
Before you start searching and printing templates, you need to decide on the size of the envelopes in which the invitations will be placed. The sizes of sheets of printed paper depend on this.
Now you need to choose an image that fully matches the theme of the wedding. After all, it could be a Love Iz style celebration, a French wedding, rural or vintage, summer or seaside. For any holiday, you can find envelope templates on the Internet for downloading and printing.
How to make an envelope out of paper
Most wedding envelopes are made of paper. Some people prefer to use cardboard for this, but thick paper does not bend as comfortably as required to create beautiful, smooth lines. Therefore, preference should always be given to paper as the basis for crafts. If you use colored paper for these purposes, you will encounter the problem of its thinness. To seal colored paper, first glue it onto a sheet of white stationery paper. Next, continue working on creating the envelope.
Original wedding envelope templates will help you make exquisite crafts for all occasions. Choose the shape you like and fold the envelope according to the photo instructions. In such paper crafts, there is enough space inside not only to place a monetary gift, but also to write your congratulations on the inner wall.
Product selection criteria
Various materials are used to make a wedding bank: thick cardboard, plywood, wood. Fabric, decorative paper, artificial and fresh flowers, rhinestones, ribbons, and beads are used for decoration. You can consult with the bride in advance, and she will help you decide on the style of the accessory in accordance with the wedding concept.
But the main thing is that the money box looks elegant and is as comfortable as possible
When purchasing a product, you need to pay attention to the following criteria:
- Size. When choosing the size for a wedding bank, you need to consider the number of invited guests. So, if about 50 people come to the celebration, it is enough to purchase a medium-sized box (about 20 cm in height). With a larger number of guests, preference is given to a more voluminous product.
- Form. Nowadays, a variety of forms allows you to choose a wedding attribute for storing money to your liking. This could be a classic box, an old-style chest, or a cardboard cake with several tiers, made in the same design as the edible one.
- Style. A chest for storing money at a wedding can be made in any design and color. The main thing is that this attribute is combined with the wedding decoration of the hall and fits harmoniously into the festive interior.
- Safety. It is worth taking care of the reliability of the box. A big plus is the ability to lock it. When there is a large crowd of people at a wedding event, it is not always possible to keep track of the safety of funds.
An accessory made of thin cardboard may not withstand constant use during the celebration. Each of the guests will definitely want to touch the original wedding attribute and make their contribution in the form of a cash envelope. Therefore, it is better to give preference to denser materials.
Ideas for original congratulations
- Idea No. 1: Along with your official gift, give the newly-made spouses a small gift in which 2 things will be neatly packaged - a rolling pin for the wife and ironclad gloves for the husband. To consolidate the “marriage set” effect, choose toasts in the same theme.
- Idea No. 2: also as an unforgettable gift, you can present a “golden” brick, which will become the very first brick in the foundation of their strong and indestructible marriage. In extreme cases, this will be a good reason not to quarrel in the future, since someone may later get hit with the same brick.
- Idea No. 3: in your congratulatory speech, wish the young people lots and lots of money, and in conclusion, give them... a cob of cabbage. When the cabbage is handed over to the happy couple, you will see banknotes stuffed among the leaves. In addition, you may wish to find their first-born in the same cabbage.
Many congratulations are very fun, accompanied by a video or photo selection of photographs of the little bride and groom. For your congratulatory speech to be the best, it should be prepared not a couple of minutes before the ceremony, but several days or a month in advance. Then your success will be guaranteed.
Wedding guide: how to creatively congratulate the newlyweds.
Sputnik has developed a kind of “handbook” for wedding guests, in which you can find the most daring gift options: down with bed linen and money in envelopes!
Summer has long been considered a wedding time: and indeed, many registry offices are already booked for a long time in advance, and it will definitely not be possible to organize a wedding in some restaurants and estates in the near future.
Of course, brides and grooms want to celebrate their wedding in a special way: after all, they are getting married once and for all. Invited guests and witnesses can help them with this with original gifts and congratulations, and Sputnik will tell you how!
We have prepared a kind of “guide” that tells you what gifts you can give for a wedding so as not to get into trouble, and how to beautifully congratulate you with words if God has deprived you of literary talent.
Wedding gift ideas
The most difficult thing for a guest is not so much to find the money to attend such a rather expensive event as a wedding, but to choose a present that would please both the bride and groom.
More than one joke has been made about wedding gifts. They also remember bed linen, which for some reason is given in large quantities, and money in envelopes - you can’t imagine anything more banal. Of course, if you don’t have time to look for a gift, and money is more suitable for the couple getting married, then you can give that too. How much money should I give for a wedding? Amounts of $100 or more are considered good form.
But Sputnik proposes to go against the system! And choose something creative for the newlyweds.
Give a certificate for a wedding
Recently, it has become popular to give certificates for goods or services. But we suggest choosing the most impractical and pleasant ones, for which young people busy setting up a hearth would spare money. Believe me, they will be given an iron or vacuum cleaner without you. You can choose a hot air balloon flight, dinner on a yacht for two, a photo shoot in the studio, swimming with a dolphin in a dolphinarium, a sightseeing flight on a sports plane and more. By the way, the cost of the most expensive of the listed options in Minsk is about 999 rubles. You can find other offers on the Internet.
Give a wedding night
It's no secret that some newlywed husbands and wives spend their wedding night unpacking gifts. But if you place them away from gifts and, for example, book them a luxurious hotel room for the newlyweds, then, for sure, they will finally remember each other. It’s not for nothing that they say that the best gifts are emotions and memories.
A selection of the most unusual texts
Whether it is worth signing a postcard that is intended for a monetary gift, everyone decides for themselves. It may already have a congratulatory inscription: “Happy wedding day!”, “Congratulations on your wedding day!”, “Advice and love!”
Additionally, writing a few words of sincere wishes on the money envelope is a good idea, especially if you use a humorous style. You can joke about explaining the purpose of the banknotes, for example: “To the future heir/heiress to the throne.”
Original signatures can be like this:
- Let there be as much money as you need, and we donate this for seedlings.
- Here's a contribution to the family nest egg.
- Here is what helps make life better and brighter.
- There are a few notes here for “haute couture” diapers.
- For financial freedom from salary dependence.
- Since money is evil, let this evil be enough for everything.
- Accept thousands of congratulatory greetings from us, my friend.
- Instead of a carpet and dishes.
- Here we take care of your wonderful mood.
For invitations
We offer several options for ready-made invitation texts that can be printed or handwritten in calligraphic handwriting:
Congratulatory inscriptions
You can put a beautiful postcard in the envelope with money, on which sincere congratulations and wishes will be written to the newlyweds.
Here are some examples of congratulatory inscriptions:
When going to a wedding, prepare in advance a beautiful envelope in which you place the prepared banknotes. A hand made envelope, made with love and diligence, will be remembered by the newlyweds for a long time. But even if you present a monetary gift in a purchased postcard, be sure to accompany it with sincere, warm congratulations and wishes.

Adviсe
To create an unusual wedding envelope, you must take into account recommendations from professionals.
To make an envelope, it is better to choose paper and cardboard in light colors. Patterns can be applied to the surface of the product using ink, paint or gel paste. With a hole punch you can make figures of angels, butterflies, flowers and others. They should be knocked out from decorative paper. They are fixed on the front side of the product with a glue gun in any order. In order for the upper opening part of the envelope to acquire its original shape, you need to use decorative scissors with a wavy edge or a border. Lace patterns are also obtained through the use of designer scissors. To decorate the front of the envelope, you can use photos of the newlyweds, their relatives and friends.
It is important that the photographs are printed on regular paper and not photo paper. The latter will make it difficult to decorate photographs.
Money cake master class
A money cake is a great way to not only present the newlyweds with money, but to do it in an original way. You can have everything you need to make it at home, you need:
- one hundred small bills;
- thick cardboard, preferably white;
- satin at least 2 cm wide, about 2 m long;
- paper clips;
- Double-sided tape.
We will make three tiers. Step-by-step instruction:
- take cardboard and cut out three circles with diameters of 30, 20, 10 cm;
- for each tier we cut out strips of the appropriate length, the height of a bill (we will attach banknotes to them);
- Using double-sided tape, glue a strip for banknotes vertically to the base of the largest circle;
- Next, we roll the bill into a tube, secure it with a paper clip and attach it to the first tier of the cake;
- We carry out the same manipulations with the remaining circles;
- we put tiers on top of each other;
- We make a beautiful large bow from satin and attach it to the top of the cake.
An original wedding gift for newlyweds is ready! This craft looks unusual and luxurious in appearance, and can also complement wedding decor.
Elements of the image of the bride and groom
Wedding accessories for the bride and groom are no less important than the outfit. Similar elements can also be made using needlework.
Jewelry for the bride (jewelry, tiara), made with your own hands, will highlight the style of the bride, giving her a special charm. What and how to do?
It's easy to make a necklace using seed beads, seed beads, or even satin ribbons. It is also possible to use various small wedding accessories from the bride’s maiden box. It is better to use high-quality fittings so that the jewelry looks stylish and rich. Jewelry should be in harmony with the bride's outfit, and also match the theme of the wedding.
You can make your own tiara, a basket for rose petals, or a small bride’s handbag.
A boutonniere is considered an integral element of the groom’s image, which is also easy to make with your own hands. Important advice: this decoration should be in the same style as the bride’s bouquet and in the same color. For this purpose, compositions of fresh or artificial flowers, or porcelain flowers can be used. A porcelain boutonniere will look impressive and will retain its original appearance throughout the day, unlike decorations using fresh flowers.
