The Contents of Wedding Invitations Can Get All Mixed Up...!
Wedding invitations contain multiple paper items.
For example,
☑ The main invitation (guide)
☑ Reply postcard
☑ Map
☑ Notes for those we want to attend the ceremony
☑ Notes for those we want to ask for a reception toast or speech
Depending on the occasion,
☑ Save the date
☑ Timeline
☑ Information about the after-party
and so on, right?
I think it's common to open an invitation only to have small papers spill out...!
If by any chance a guest opens the invitation and drops even one paper item without noticing, that could be a huge problem.
Therefore, it's essential to keep the small papers in the invitation organized. But how should we bundle them together?
【Solution】 Let's Prepare a Pocket in the Invitation ♩
If you're a bride concerned about small papers getting mixed up or wanting them organized, preparing a "pocket" in the invitation is recommended ♩
With a pocket, it looks like this*
When you open the main invitation, one side becomes a pocket where all the sticky notes and other items are stored◎
Adding a pocket to the invitation is also visually appealing, and attaching tags to the sticky notes can make it stylish ♩
How to Attach a Pocket to the Invitation*
But how do we attach a pocket to the invitation?
@rmooo_wedding has provided a detailed explanation, so let me share it with you*
① Create a template for the pocket that matches the shape of the main invitation
② Make marks on the corners and fold lines of the template using a hole punch, and cut with a cutter
③ Use the back of the cutter to create fold lines
④ Fold along the fold lines
⑤ Attach double-sided tape to the back of the pocket and stick it on the invitation, and you're done*
Attaching the pocket is a meticulous task, but guests will surely be delighted and say, "I've never seen anything like this!" ♩
