Weddings are a joyous time that should be remembered for years to come.  Photographs and albums are great but of course many people appreciate scrapbooks as well; these allow you to not only decorate and embellish those photographs but to keep other mementos as well.  Many brides and others want to scrapbook wedding invitations, programs, souvenir napkins, a menu, and other such items.  But before you just slap these items onto a page and call it a scrapbook, you may want to consider some tips on how you can scrapbook wedding invitations and other items in order to make the best album ever.  Let's go over a few of these here.

One important thing to remember when you scrapbook wedding invitations is that the invitation itself is probably somewhat detailed and fancy.  This means that you probably want to keep other elements and details to a minimum so that your page doesn't look too busy.  Use a simple paper for the page as well; you can dress it up by using a contrasting color or simple ribbons and bows as elements.  When you scrapbook wedding invitations, usually less is more!  So don't go overboard with other items on the page and the wording on the invitation will really stand out. 

You may be tempted to add in a photograph or some other souvenir when you scrapbook wedding invitations, but as with any other type of scrapbook page, arrange your items without gluing or adhering anything so that you can take away items if necessary.  Make sure the photograph or any other memento complements the invitation and doesn't compete with it.  A simple shot of the bride and groom together may be best, and usually it's good to have the photo the same size or around the same size when you scrapbook wedding invitations so they look like they belong together.  A photo that's too small will seem dwarfed by the invitations and one that's too large will overshadow it.  Try a variety of pictures in order to find the right one.

If you're stuck for ideas on how to scrapbook wedding invitations, don't hesitate to check online for samples and examples from other scrappers.  Use what they've done as an inspiration; don't copy it exactly as of course you want your scrapbook to be as individual and unique as the wedding itself!
