Embossed aluminum (done at a sheet metal shop) is cheaper than engraving and makes a unique wedding invitation.

Wedding Invitations

Create a beautiful embossed invitation with just a few steps.

Materials and Tools:

card stock
sheet metal
double-sided tape
rice paper
envelope
scissors
satin ribbon

Rice paper, in keeping with the wedding theme, and ribbons decorate the inside of the wedding invitation.

Steps:

1. Have the word "wedding" embossed onto a square of sheet metal.

2. Attach the metal to the front of the invitation with a piece of double-sided tape.

3. Slip a sheet of rice paper inside of the invitation.

4. Use a file system for the various events (rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception). Cut paper into three graduated sizes and label the top of each with the event name and specific information below.

5. Make a pouch for the papers simply by cutting the flap off an envelope and gluing it to the inside of the card. To dress up the cut edge, glue on a strip of satin ribbon.

6. Tie a coordinating ribbon around the front page of the invitation, having the bow show either on the outside, or, for a smooth finish, on the inside.
