After the wedding is over, you may find yourself with a pile of beautiful cards filled with heartfelt messages from your loved ones. As you open gifts from your registry and read through all the cards. You might be wondering what to do with your wedding cards after the wedding. Your family and wedding guests used their money to purchase them and dedicated time towards writing in this card for you, so what do you do with them?
6 Creative Ways on What to Do with Wedding Cards After the Wedding
Instead of letting them collect dust in a drawer, consider repurposing them in creative ways that will keep the love and memories alive for years to come. Today I am going to give you some ideas on what to do with your wedding cards after the wedding. Here are six unique ideas to inspire you.
1. Card Box
One way you can store your wedding cards is to put them into a card box. This one would be different from your wedding card box and more of the size of a shoe box or smaller.
There are many ways you can organize this box such as putting dividers in so you can store all the cards you received or putting a label on it indicating what is inside. Revisit them on your anniversary over some leftover wedding cake you put into the freezer.
2. Guest Book
Sometimes we pay for a wedding guest book and all the pages are not filled. Use the extra pages to glue the wedding cards inside. Since words of wisdom and advice are usually in these cards, this is the perfect spot to place them with the added bonus of them not taking up space. Personally, this is the way I am going to organize my wedding cards.
3. Wedding Card Scrapbook
Do you love scrapbooking? One of the most popular ways to repurpose wedding cards is to create a scrapbook. If you got a creative side, cut off the messages from the cards and add them to a scrapbook page. Use stunning paper from your local craft store and decorate the page with stickers and items from your big day and arrange them in a way that is visually appealing. Everyone will love how creative you have gotten by making this and it is a great keepsake that you can look back on for years to come.
4. Collage
If you don’t have a scrapbook, you can still do the same idea but in a collage style. Use the same tools, paper and items then frame it for you to display somewhere in your home. This is a great idea if you want to view your messages more frequently and a great moment for when guests come over. They will want to see where their message is placed.
5. Turn Them into a Beautiful Piece of Art
Another creative way on what to do with your wedding cards after the wedding is to turn them into beautiful pieces of art. You can frame individual cards as unique and sentimental pieces of wall art. This is a great way to showcase the love and support from your friends and family in a way that is both beautiful and meaningful. Plus, it’s a great conversation starter for guests who visit your home.
6. Use Them to Decorate Your Home
Wedding cards can be a beautiful addition to your home decor. You can frame them and create a gallery wall, or use them to create a unique centrepiece for your dining table. Another idea is to create a shadow box display with your wedding invitation and other special mementos from your big day. The possibilities are endless, and using your wedding cards in your home decor is a great way to keep the memories alive.
Final Thoughts
Planning a wedding may have been stressful but this diy is such a neat way to show your wedding guest that you appreciate their cards. It creates a memory you can look back on over and over again. Tell me, are you into saving your wedding cards or did you secretly recycle them? No judgment here. I wanna know!
