Fall Wedding Invitation

"This fall wedding invitation has tumbling leaves, sumptuous chocolaty colours and the richness of satin"

I really like this modern wedding invitation. The design of the patterned paper really creates the autumnal feel and the silky satin ribbon gives the invitation extra richness. This invite is perfect for weddings in the autumn or fall.

This invitation really is very easy to create. It’s literally cutting and sticking so it makes creating your wedding invitations very quick!

For this fall wedding invitation you'll need

• Smooth square card blank 12cm x 12cm
• Patterned paper with a leaf design
• Brown satin ribbon 25cm
• Roller glue stick

Recommended insert

Plain vellum paper using a modern insert template.

Step-by-step instructions

1. Measure the size of the folded card to check the size.
2. Take your patterned paper and cut out a section that matches the size of your folded card. For my card this is 12cm x 12cm.
3. Cut a section off the patterned paper that is about 1/4 or 1/3 of the width of your card. The patterned paper I used had a plain underside, so I used that for the plain light brown hue near the folded edge of the card. If your patterned paper doesn't have a plain underside, then use some paper with a hue that matches a colour within the patterned paper.
4. You now have two bits of paper. Arrange these pieces of paper on your card and secure with a glue roller in position.
5. Next, take the ribbon and singe the ends with a lighter to prevent fraying.
6. Then position the ribbon over the join of the two papers. You can secure this in place with a little bit of glue as well.
7. Inside the card, place glue at one end of the ribbon and then line up the ends to secure the ribbon. It should overlap nicely. Make sure the ends are lined up straight so that the ribbon looks nice and neat.

Tip: singe the ends of the ribbon with a match or lighter - it will prevent the ends fraying and give a neater finish.
