Ways to Create a Keepsake of Your Wedding Invitation

Your wedding invitation is truly a one-of-a-kind remembrance of your special day since it provides a record of some of the most important details. It is always recommended that a few extra invitations be ordered to save as souvenirs of your wedding, but chances are they will be placed in your wedding album and eventually packed away.

Why not create a memento of your wedding invitation that is more permanent and can be easily displayed in your home as a special remembrance. Especially since all the formal details of your wedding day appear within your invitation text – date, time of ceremony, time of dinner/reception, name and address of ceremony location, name and address of dinner/reception locale - as well as maybe a special verse or quote chosen by you and your fiance. The invitation design itself may also be symbolic of the colors or theme of your wedding.

Having your invitation wording permanently imprinted on a keepsake item is a wonderful way to uniquely commemorate your wedding day. Here are some suggested items that can be engraved with your wedding invitation verse:

• Photo Album - A great way to personalize a wedding photo album is to have your invitation wording elegantly engraved on the front cover. This way every time you look through your cherished wedding pictures you will be able to see your invitation verse too.
• Wedding Invitation Frame - Create a lasting souvenir by using a beautiful glass frame to display your favorite wedding photo as well as feature your invitation verse delicately etched on it.
• Glass Block - A simple, but elegant, glass or lucite sculpture piece can be engraved with your wedding invitation text to create an exquisite remembrance of your special day.
• Commemorative Plate - Easily hung on a wall or placed on an easel for table-top display, a decorative plate engraved or etched with your invitation verse will make a wonderful memento for years to come.

With all of your planning and preparations, creating a wedding invitation keepsake may not be a high priority before your wedding, but this is easily something you can have designed later since you may even receive one of these personalized items as a wedding gift.

Your wedding is without a doubt one of the most important days of your life so give some thought to creating a lasting souvenir of your wedding invitation to preserve all the details of your special day. As the years go by, you will undoubtedly be glad you did.
