Wedding Card Projects

Wedding cards announce your upcoming nuptials with style.

Wedding card projects can be an inventive way to announce your upcoming nuptials and bring a bit of your personality out with the invitation. You can use many different media in traditional, handmade, photographic or imaginative themes to announce the happy event. Your designs can be simple or elaborate, depending on the amount of money or time you want to put into your wedding cards. Whatever you choose will bring a personal touch to the event and can become a beautiful keepsake from your special day.

Traditional

Using calligraphy to create your wedding cards can be time-consuming but rewarding.

Learn a new skill and create beautifully hand-written wedding cards at the same time when you explore the art of calligraphy. If you have enough time and patience, hand-write simple sayings on beautiful notecards as your happy announcement. Add designs or borders to embellish the cards or let the fancy letters do all the talking. Either way, calligraphy adds a personal touch to the event that won't go unnoticed.

Handmade

Handmade cards can be simple, yet elegant.

Handmade wedding cards can be a fun and inexpensive way to invite guests to share your joy. You can layer different papers with computer-generated verses and art, for a quick and simple design, or you can create fancy cards with different materials, such as punch-cut shapes, beads and ribbons. Choose a theme and color scheme that matches your wedding party and run with it.

Photographic

Photograph any wedding-related item for your cards.

You can create photographic wedding cards with a multitude of subjects. Take a snapshot of your dress, your wedding rings, a beautiful landscape or yourselves to place front and center on your invitations. Once you have your photo, you can give it to a greeting card artist to make a custom creation for you. Alternatively, you can upload the photo to a website that specializes in self-created greeting cards.

Imaginative

Send a wedding greeting on a compact disc.

You don't have to limit yourself to paper and ink for your wedding card. Send helium balloon invitations. E-mail an animated digital wedding card to your guests. Combine your artistic and presentation skills by creating a compact disc video of you and your betrothed asking guests to come to the joyous occasion. The sky is the limit when you use your imagination.
