What Should I Do With My Wedding Cards?

You already have an album full of the shower, engagement, and wedding pictures. There’s no need to keep all those wedding cards as reminders and have them get ruined. So what do you do with them? Here are a few ideas.

• Do a card collage

Cut cards into fancy circles using a punch and then attach them to the canvas. Howl in place using some mod podge. Hang up this canvas in a visible area of your home. A constant look at it is a reminder of some of the best days of your life.

• Improvise into thank you notes

This is a way to let each guest have a piece of your cards. Cut out shapes and designs from your cards and adhere them to cardstock. Adorn it as you best think or just cut the card in half and use it as a postcard for thank you notes.

• Go ornamental

Think up cute shapes such as hexagons, circles, hearts, crescents and more. Leave some space at the top to punch in a hole. Fix some ribbons through these holes and hang them on your tree or chandelier.

• Make a wedding card booklet

Or you can just make them into a scrapbook.
