On the Invitation, Wrap a Tracing Paper Band for Save the Date ♩

Currently, this arrangement of invitations is gradually becoming popular among brides.

This is a DIY idea where you wrap tracing paper around the invitation like a band and design a "Save the Date" on it♡

Since it's visible right when you open the envelope, it stands out, and the calendar design that looks like it’s written in a planner is stylish♡

This is a charming handmade idea that is bound to become more common.

Making it is Easy ♩

To make this tracing paper band, simply create a calendar for the wedding date and print it on tracing paper that is about one-third to one-half the size of the invitation.

The size should be just right if you divide an A4 sheet of paper into about three vertical sections.

You can either design the circle mark for the wedding date on your computer beforehand or draw it yourself later.
