Step 1: Prepare Your Materials Before diving into this project, gather all the materials you'll need:

  • Our free downloadable wedding envelope template (scroll down)
  • A4 cardstock
  • Repositionable adhesive
  • Scoring board
  • Bone folder or alternative tool
  • Double-sided tape
  • String or ribbon for closure
  • Glue

Step 2: Printing and Scoring Begin by printing the wedding envelope template out and adhering it onto your A4 cardstock using a repositionable adhesive. While A4 is the standard size, feel free to adapt your printer settings to customize the size to your preference.

Once the template is securely in place, carefully use your scoring board to create the necessary fold lines. Remember, on most templates, cut lines are solid, while score lines are dotted. Be sure to pay special attention to the double score lines to account for the extra thickness when folding.

Step 3: Folding and Strengthening With all the score lines completed, fold along each line to create the structure of your envelope card. To ensure clean, sharp folds, use a bone folder or an alternative tool to strengthen them. Don't forget to take extra care with the double score lines, as it's easy to misfold them.

Step 4: Assembling the Envelope Card The magic starts when you assemble the envelope card. It unfolds to reveal a beautiful space for your wedding invitation details. The card has pockets perfect for holding RSVPs, menu choices, or any other inserts you'd like to include.

Step 5: Closure Options Now, it's time to think about how you want to secure your envelope card. Lou suggests a simple and elegant solution—using string or ribbon. Make a hole or slot in one of the corners using a tool like a Crop-A-Dile and thread the string or ribbon through. Secure it with a bow or knot. Adding glue underneath the string ensures it stays in place, even after being opened and closed multiple times.

Step 6: Personalise and Decorate With your envelope card assembled, you have the creative freedom to personalise and decorate it as you like! Consider adding your names, a special message, or decorative elements to make it uniquely yours. Whether you're using it for wedding invitations, new baby announcements, or other special occasions, the possibilities are endless.

Creating your wedding envelope card using this template is a fun and creative way to add a personal touch to your special day. With a bit of patience and a touch of creativity, you can design a unique and memorable invitation that will impress your guests. So go ahead craft the perfect DIY wedding invitations for your big day. Enjoy the process, and may your wedding be as beautiful as the invitations you've created!#
