The month of May is coming shortly. A charming time in which the last blows of winter are mixed with the arrival of heat and good weather. In May we celebrate such popular and remembered events as Mother’s Day, International Worker’s Day, Red Cross Day, Teacher’s Day … It is also the month of flowers and, of course, communions.
And this was what I was going to do. Today I want to talk to you about the communions of our children. You may not remember the burden and stress that you had to suffer on your wedding day, you may have forgotten it or you do not think it is necessary to remember it. This is one of the great qualities of communions: reliving all the worries that the preparations that are needed to celebrate such a special occasion cause us and that everything goes well.
Apart from this, the worst memory I have of communion was the great cost that it entailed, and the great fault of this was the terrible planning we had with everything that surrounded that day, if we had been more forward-looking and planned better. everything, I am convinced that we would have saved good money. A clear example are invitations for family and friends. The week after the communion had been celebrated, my husband and I commented that one of the things that we could have done was the invitations and that the cost would have been much lower than that of ordering them, which was not little, the truth is that it was a large outlay.
In my case I can no longer do anything, but I can advise you so that the same does not happen to you and that you manage to create very special and really original communion invitations; the truth is that they can also be used for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and more family and special events. Go for it!
What is the most important thing about an invitation? Surely you have thought about the card, since it is where the message is expressed and what is really important about the celebration. That is true, but it is so true that it is not the first thing people see when we deliver it to them; the envelope is the first thing the guest sees, observes, touches and feels. That is why, in my opinion, the envelope is the most important part of the invitation and the one that has to be the most special and cause the greatest impact and sensation. And to achieve this, nothing better than kraft envelopes. I’m in love with them!
Kraft envelopes are my favorites and I think they are one of the most special and beautiful out there. For many years, kraft paper has been associated with the feeling of ugly, rough, dirty and that it was only used to pack and pack things and objects. Big mistake! It is a very natural paper, with a very interesting touch, which gives the feeling of being a traditional paper, a role with a lot of personality, it can evoke past and nostalgic times. Kraft envelopes are really beautiful and very original and that is why I want to share with all of you some ideas to create envelopes with this type of paper and make them the great sensation of those special days.
Original invitations with kraft envelopes
About Classic model . It is the envelope of a lifetime, the one we have always used to send letters to friends and family. It is ideal to include traditional invitations and that are not at all extravagant, highly recommended for birthday and anniversary greetings.
About heart model. When dates as important as your wedding, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s or Father’s day arrive, this is the envelope that you are almost obliged to use. Really simple to create, but when you open it and unfold it, it is very nice to see the smile of the person who receives it. A very special envelope.
About antique imitation. This model is more elaborate than the previous ones and takes more work, but it is worth it when you see how good it is when it is finished. I love the final result! It is one of my favorites because it is an envelope that shows a lot of class and elegance.
Square envelope. There are occasions when simplicity marks elegance and this is the case with this type of envelope. Ideal to include a card with a small poem or request. It is with this model that my husband asked me to marry him. Thank you with all my heart, Luisfe 😉
Paper envelope with circles. If this model is characterized by something, it is for its originality. It is only necessary to create four circles with a compass, cut them out and insert them one with the other in the shape of a pinwheel and glue them together; the circles can be any size you want. To create the envelope, finish by folding the circles inwards and close it by securing the tabs with a ribbon.
When it comes to making invitations and envelopes, I am very partial because I love kraft paper for its naturalness and the great personality it offers, but if you like it Another type of paper of the many that exist , use it without problem, the important thing is that you feel proud of the invitations that you have created.
Do not hesitate. When a special event arrives, create the invitations yourself, you will realize that you will save good money. But the best thing is the satisfaction you have when you have finished your creation and you realize how good they have been and you think, “I am the mother of the child.”
