One of the best things about being a crafter during wedding planning is having leftover supplies from past projects. I love making cards and if I see a really great sale at PaperSource, I’ll pick things up, even if I’m not sure what to do with it, because I know eventually I’ll get good use out of it.

Our rehearsal dinner invites were great proof of this. A while back, PaperSource had a huge sale on sparkly red rick rack cards. At the time I was dreaming of a lobster bake rehearsal dinner or using them for Christmas cards, so I bought them without a clear vision in mind.

Fast forward a year, and I needed rehearsal invitation materials fast. I turned to my paper drawer and had these waiting, along with leftover envelopes and 4-bar white paper. I decided to include some ribbon leftover from our OOT bags to jazz them up a bit.

They don’t really go with the rest of our paper products, but I didn’t have to spend any more money to make them, so I was satisfied.

Did you create any wedding projects using materials you already had or that were leftover from other projects?
