A Classic in Foreign Invitation DIY: The Charming Idea of Using Venue Illustrations as Decorative Paper! ♩

About Decorative Paper ♡

The classic DIY for invitations is decorative paper.

It is used to attach a different patterned paper to the inside of the envelope when you open it, adding an accent.

In English, it is called an envelope liner.

Decorative Paper Illustrating the Venue!

I think decorative paper often features flower patterns, watercolor illustrations, or paintings,

but abroad, it is also common to use illustrations of the wedding venue as decorative paper.

Instead of a realistic photo, it is illustrated in a soft (colored pencil or watercolor-like) style as decorative paper. ♡

Here’s an example.

For guests, it’s nice to get a sense of the exterior of the wedding venue, even if just a little. (Especially if it's their first time visiting!)

On the day, they are likely to think, “I saw this in the invitation!” If I were a guest, I would definitely take a photo of the venue along with the decorative paper from the invitation. ♡

Decorative Paper Doesn't Have to Just Be the Venue *

It’s also great to use the scenery inside the chapel as decorative paper,

or the garden outside is lovely too! ♡

This idea of using an illustration of a favorite spot or view from the wedding venue as decorative paper is wonderful, so I highly recommend it! ♡
