Who really remembers cards and invitations? Well, ever since Mr. Caramel and I have started to pack for our NYC move, we realized that we have to trash a lot of sentimental things that we don’t want to forget. One of the things we had to throw away were our wedding cards and extra invitations. Since so much thought went into picking our cards and invitations, I couldn’t bear to just throw them away without some type of documentation, especially the really beautiful ones!
So… I took pictures of them!

How adorable are these??

The handmade ones are always the most amazing!

My soon-to-be cousin is the one who made the butterfly card, and she also recently made her own wedding invitations. They are so gorgeous that I just had to share! She has her own website and designs other people’s invitations, and she also designs wedding rings and jewelry. How can some people be so talented?!

Their reservation card had a silhouette of them on it—it looked a lot like them!

Will you be able to save all of the cards you got for your wedding? How are you storing or remembering them?
That’s always tough! When I was younger I kept a memory box for such items (like paper awards, 16th birthday cards, etc.) Its just a small box that has allowed me to hold onto a few memories that I want to keep tucked away. I plan to do the same with our wedding cards and invitations. Its tough to part with all that stuff because it has a nice memory attached to it, but you don’t want to fill up your new place with wedding cards and extra invitations!
Another idea (and something I’ve done before), is make a scrapbook. Attach your favorite cards and an extra invitation so you have another book to keep with your wedding album.
