Your Wedding Invitations
So, you’ve spent countless hours dreaming up your perfect wedding invitations—every font, every color, every luxurious detail. But now that the big day has come and gone, what do you do with those gorgeous paper goods? Don’t let them sit there collecting dust, sis! Let’s turn those invitations into keepsake décor that you can cherish forever. Grab an iced coffee (or wine, we don’t judge), and let’s dive into four fabulous ways to repurpose your wedding invitations into swoon-worthy displays.
1. Tree Goals: Turn Your Wedding Invite into a Holiday Ornament
Is there anything more magical than trimming your Christmas tree and seeing a little nod to the day you said “I do”? Turn your wedding invitations into stunning ornaments that will make every holiday season feel extra special.
Simply cut out the most beautiful parts of your invitation (think name, date, or a special design element) and tuck them into a clear glass ornament. To add an elevated look tie silk or velvet ribbon to the top of your ornament. This little gem will twinkle under the lights and remind you of your best day ever, year after year.

Transform your invitation into a gorgeous acrylic tray! This DIY is equal parts elegant and functional—perfect for displaying on your coffee table, vanity, or even as a catch-all for keys and mail.
To create this look, carefully arrange your invitation on a paper background, tape it down securely, and slide it into the bottom of a clear acrylic tray for a polished, custom look. Bonus points if you use it to serve cocktails at your next party—it’ll be a conversation starter for sure!

3. Bonus! Frame Your Day in a Shadow Box
If you’re someone who loves a good gallery wall moment, then a shadow box is the way to go. This is your chance to get a little more creative with how you display not only your wedding invitation but also other sentimental items from your big day.
Frame your invitation inside a deep-set shadow box along with other keepsakes—think ribbon from your bouquet, a boutonnière, or even a snippet of lace from your dress. Hang it on the wall as part of your home décor or display it on a shelf. Every time you pass by, you’ll be reminded of the love, joy, and beauty that made up your wedding day.
