No wedding is complete without gifts. Someone presents furniture sets, a service, home appliances, and someone presents money for the young to dispose of them at their discretion. You can give a “rustling” gift in a beautiful printed wedding envelope or make such an envelope for your own wedding money.

The appearance of the product should correspond to the holiday: to be pompous, with delicate and satin details, beads, voluminous hearts and doves, contain the words “Happiness”, “Love and Understanding”, “Happy Wedding Day”, comic tips on how to manage the amount ( for example, “Fulfill an old dream,” “Pass it on to my daughter and son”) and more.

Everyone can make an original handmade envelope. The main thing is to have a little zeal and time. Such an unusual present will not be left without attention from the newlyweds and guests of the holiday. You can make the product at your discretion by borrowing interesting copyright ideas in one of the thematic forums or by inventing something of your own. On your own made product you can put the names of young people or simply initials enclosed in hearts, and they will know for sure that you made this holiday accessory exclusively for their celebration.

The edges of a handmade envelope can be made not straight but wavy, to add voluminous decorations to the front side - this will give the product romance. The color scheme should focus on pastel colors: pink, pale blue, sand, white.

Scrapbooking products look very beautiful and unusual. The essence of the method is cutting out a thick picture from thick cardboard.

It’s easy to master this technique. You can watch several workshops on the Internet, practice and start creating a wedding envelope.

You will need:

• pattern;
• scissors;
• decor elements;
• pieces of fabric;
• ruler;
• glue;
• pencil.

First you need to carefully calculate the size of the envelope, make a pattern, outline the location of the hole (standard or side), think about the option of the lock and the relief of the sides of the envelope.

Using a pattern, cut a similar layout from white or color cardboard. It is better that the material is not too dense, but not “liquid”, so that the form holds well, but it is not too difficult to bend along the outlined lines. Glue the edges of the envelope with glue “Moment”.

For the decor, you can choose everything that you see fit and find in the needlework store: beads, satin ribbons, glitter paper, colorless glue, beads, rhinestones. On the front side of the envelope, wedding rings can be depicted, and all the inscriptions can be made in ink with an underline with monograms. Rich decor is ideal for a festive event, and the envelope will look very stylish and elegant.

Decorations that you will use in the scrapbooking technique must be well thought out in advance. This applies to the location of all elements and their appearance. Most often, floral motifs, lace ornament and brief congratulatory inscriptions are used to decorate wedding envelopes (“Congratulations”, “Happy Wedding Day”, “Advice and Love”, “Happiness”). By the way, flowers can be made not only from cardboard, but also from corrugated paper. Such a “trembling” material will make the flowers almost alive. To create them, you need to fold a triangular segment from corrugated paper into a cone, and turn the edges outward, simulating flower petals. For fixing it is enough to use 1-2 drops of PVA or “Moment” glue. It is advisable to make several identical colors in the same color (white or red) and fix them on an envelope. You can complement the "flower meadow" with lace, sparkles, decorative pebbles.

Inside the envelope, you can also put a mini-card (purchased or also made independently) with a short poetic congratulatory text. The signature of the giver is welcome. It can be applied with ink using a stencil and decorated with gold glitter.

Today it’s very fashionable to have a Provence style wedding. A wedding envelope can also be made in accordance with the theme of the celebration.

Style Features:

• pastel shades (cream, purple, white, light blue, pale green);
• flower patterns;
• lace elements;
• inscriptions with monograms and curls;
• sprig of lavender.

An envelope made as described above is taken as the basis. Lace is attached to the front of the product. The envelope is tied with twine, and dried lavender is fixed in place for a traditional bow.

If there is very little time to make an envelope, you can buy a floral print and completely decorate the cardboard surface. The task can be further simplified if the envelope is not made from ordinary cardboard, but directly from the designer. Cardboard with a geometric pattern will look original. It will not require additional decorations - just a brief congratulatory inscription will suffice. If desired, you can decorate the upper opening part of the envelope with flowers and beads. To fix the elements, it is recommended to use a glue gun.

A money envelope for a wedding with a butterfly will look very gentle. The envelope is made as described above from designer cardboard. It will take another sheet of cardboard to wrap them in an envelope. In the center of the “wrapper” cardboard, you need to draw a rather large butterfly (the size can vary from 5 to 8 centimeters). Inside along the wings also make contours. First cut the figures along the outer contours, and then with a sharp clerical knife on the inside. The result is an envelope with a voluminous butterfly. On both sides of the butterfly cut out two wide strips (about 2 cm wide) in cardboard “wrapper” and glue them. A butterfly can be decorated with one or more beads to match.

With your own hands you can make an original mail envelope. For this, medium-density cardboard is taken. One side of the future envelope is cut from it. A cardboard pattern is applied to decorative paper (for example, metallic or for decoupage), circled and cut. The cut out part is inserted into the mail envelope, fixed with glue stick. On the front side, the envelope can be decorated in any way at your discretion.

For those who really want to invest a part of themselves in creating a wedding celebration, but do not like creative work, we can recommend making a simple wedding envelope. A ready-made, pre-purchased envelope is taken as the basis. A proportional piece of decorative paper is glued to the front side (it can even be wallpaper) or an abstract geometric pattern is applied using transparent glue and glitter. Any congratulatory inscription pre-printed on the printer is attached on top: “Sea of ​​Love”, “Happy Wedding Day”, “Happiness to Young” or others. The envelope is decorated with beads in the color of decorative paper and floral elements.

To create an unusual wedding envelope It is necessary to consider recommendations from professionals.

1. For the manufacture of an envelope, it is better to choose paper and cardboard in light colors.
2. Patterns can be applied to the surface of the product with ink, paints or helium paste.
3. Figures of angels, butterflies, flowers and others can be made a puncher. They should be knocked out of decorative paper. They are fixed on the front side of the product with a glue gun in random order.
4. In order for the upper opening part of the envelope to acquire its original shape, you need to use decorative scissors with a wavy edge or border.
5. Lace patterns are also obtained through the use of designer scissors.
6. For the decor of the front of the envelope, you can use photos of young people, their relatives and friends. It is important that the photographs are printed on plain paper rather than photo paper. The latter will complicate the work of decorating photographs.
