For Jody's bridal shower invitations cards I made, I requested guests to include a few additional items with their RSVP.
1.) I included a square cardstock for guests to write their "wishes" for the bride and groom.
Above are two photos of the "wishes" sent in by the guests along with a cut-out of the RSVP cards glued onto the bottom. I bought 5x5 square cards (10 pack sold at Joannes or Papersource). The smaller cardstock sent with the invitations is a 3.75x7.75 square cardstock made by DCWV (sold at Joannes)
I attached all of the 5x5 square cards by hole punching the two ends and using the scrapbooking extender to hold it in place. I attached a ribbon to tie the cards together and for a nice softened touch. The photo on the right is the final creation of the "well wishes" album.
For the recipes cards, I bought a smaller coordinating card (Office Max) and made stickers with the guests name and their recipe. Below is a photo of the recipe card. I inserted the recipes from the guests inside the recipe card.
I found a metal tin at Micheals and the "wishes" book and recipe cards fit perfectly into the metal box.
In case you're wondering... here's what the coordinating invitations looked like below. The theme was "pretty in pink".
I asked the bride for a few engagement photos and printed it out on 8.5x11 white paper. The invitation wording is printed on white vellum. For the RSVP cards, I used thicker cardstock and cut out business size cards. A corner punch was used to notch out the corners on the RSVP cards and the "wish" cards to soften the look.
