There is a lot of sense of accomplishment for doing something yourself and doing it well. The same goes for making your own scrapbooking wedding invitations. Here you will find scrapbooking wedding invitation ideas, both practical and original that will help you in deciding on a layout suitable for your wedding.

To find scrapbooking wedding invitation ideas, the best place to search is online. There are many craft and scrapbooking sites which have posted images of actual wedding invites that people have made themselves. Another place to look is in photo galleries where people post their own DIY items.

Here are a few practical ideas that you can use right now:

Matting

Assuming you have some accent colors to work with (take a look at the wedding party’s attire for some color inspiration), you will want to add these colors in to your design to make it attractive. One of the quickest ways to do this is to matte the top page. To matte, cut out the same shape as the top page, but in the accent color and in a slightly larger size. Depending on how subtle or how strong a statement you are going for will depend on how much larger you make it. If your top page is white and has all the wording on it, you may like to have the accent paper piece behind it be about a 1/4″ larger all around. Glue to top to the center of the background piece and your invitation is matted!

Fonts

There is no need to go with standard Arial or Times New Roman fonts. There are so many new and interesting ones out there that you can use that will help make your design stand out in the crowd. Also, don’t forget to use italics and / or bold whenever you feel it is necessary. You can also go with a few different fonts to help create an original looking wedding invitation.

Embellishments

Embellishments can make or break a design. The reason we are saying this is because you can go overboard and make a design look too busy if you use too many. Scrapbooking embellishments are plentiful in their selection and it is tempting to use all your favorites, but it is best to restrain yourself a little. Practicing restraint in scrapbooking wedding invitation ideas is probably one of the best tips you should adhere to. This will go a long ways in making your design a classy one. One way to spice up your wedding invitations are to add a bit of bling. There are many varieties of jewel type stickers and rub-ons too that can be used to help create a lovely design. Another idea is to use a simple flower and attach it to your wedding invitation.

Digital Designs

Don’t forget about digital designs when looking for scrapbooking wedding invitation ideas. You can easily use digital embellishments to help jazz up a wedding invitation as well. Take a look for flowers, scrolls, borders and other things that may be appropriate for your design.

Whatever you decide on in the long run, you will find that there are plenty of scrapbooking wedding invitation ideas available online to help you in your creative journey!
