Wedding Keepsake Box and Handmade Invitations

As well as being asked to make a Wedding Guest Book as mentioned in this post I also had the invitations and RSVP cards to do as well.

I sent off 3 proofs all the same and from the 'Mystery Range with the only change to the one on the North Yorkshire Weddings Website being 'Can we have it in pale blue?'


And I must admit it looks wonderful in this colour.....

Packaging is always a problem. Handing over a bride and grooms precious wedding stationery in a shoe box doesn't seem to be right somehow and finding a box that fits all sizes of invitations seemed to be a nigh on impossibility.....so I am having the made to order.

I was surprised when they turned up today....in pieces. Now making boxes up and especially flat packed ones does not usually phase me....except these came with left over pieces....and then I realised that as I had suggested I give them to the brides as 'Keepsake Boxes' the company included some file dividers to be used both portrait and landscape inside the box. How lovely. (And how relieved!)

Here's the order packed and almost ready to go. I've added a personalised tag to the top of the box with the names and date of the wedding and a little message thanking them for their business.

There's a channel inside the top lid to add a complimentary ribbon and overall I'm delighted with the results. I hope the Bride and Groom will be too :o)

I'll be adding the Keepsake Boxes to my website very soon, but if you are interested in buying one in the meantime, please let me know via the contact details on this page.
