Since your wedding is only one day of your life, you should preserve the memories for years to come in every way possible. One way to do that is by making this easy DIY wedding invitation ornament for Christmas. You can also make them as gifts for couples whose wedding you attend!

The ornament pictured above is the one I made for myself after my own traditional and classic wedding. We loved cherishing the memory as we hung it on the tree it on our Christmas tree six months later.

This DIY project is easy and you really can’t go wrong when making it. And it only takes about ten minutes to make!

And since this is primarily a book blog, I will add that you can try this craft with the pages of a special book too. My recommendation would be to just make sure the pages are fairly thick.

Supplies for DIY Wedding Invitation Ornament

  1. Wedding invitation of average weight cardstock. If the cardstock is matted or too thick, it won’t work for this craft.
  2. A pencil.
  3. A ruler.
  4. Scissors.
  5. Clear plastic ornaments. These ornaments are the ones I used for my ornament, pictured above. They are a standard size ornament, but you can use ornaments a bit bigger sized ornament if you prefer.
  6. Ribbon. This silver 3/8″ satin ribbon is the one I used. It was the perfect width to fit the hole at the top of the ornament. It comes in numerous colors.

How to Make a DIY Wedding Invitation Ornament

  1. Using the ruler and pencil, draw lines above and below each major line of text. (I left out lines that simply said things like “and.”)
  2. Cut the major lines of text into strips.
  3. Roll each strip around the pencil so it loosely bends into a spiral shape.
  4. Refine each spiral. In other words, if a lot of white space is showing, trim it! If the spiral is too tight or loose, adjust it! If you think one spiral would look better as two spirals, cut it! It’s up to you and your eyes to complete this step as you see fit. And, at the end of the day, you want to have enough spirals to generally fit the ornament. If you need more, you can add spirals from the RSVP cards, add some confetti, etc.
  5. Open the ornament and start placing the spirals inside. You may wish to put the most visually appealing, larger spirals in the front (for example, the ones that state names and dates). You can try to add the smaller spirals on the sides, to make the fit more snug, so that the more visually appealing spirals stay front and center. Or, you can just let them bounce around randomly — it’s up to you!
  6. Close the ornament. Make sure it appeals to you. If not, open it up and play around with it.
  7. Thread the ribbon through the hole at the top of the ornament and make a loop the size of your desired length of hanging. Cut and double knot the loop to close it. Trim the ends, then move the knot to the back side of the hole at the top of the ornament to disguise it.
  8. Cut another ribbon, at least twelve inches in length. Tie a bow around the loop, near the top of the ornament. Adjust the bow to your desired size, then trim the ends to your desired size.
  9. Hang on the tree and enjoy your DIY wedding invitation ornament for Christmas.

Today was a good day. Now, let’s get to work! Today was a good day. Now, let’s get to work!
I first read #PromiseMeDad by PRESIDENT #JoeBiden I first read #PromiseMeDad by PRESIDENT #JoeBiden back when it was published two years ago in 2018, although that feels like a lifetime ago.  It is not a political memoir. Rather, Promise Me, Dad is the unforgettable memoir of the year of 2014-15 in which Joe Biden’s son, Beau, was diagnosed with and died from glioblastoma brain cancer (of the same type as Senator John McCain and my favorite baseball player Darren Daulton).  I listened to the audio version of this book, and two+ years later, I can still hear the pain and exasperation in the elder Biden’s voice when I think about this book. Although Biden was Vice President of the United States at the time this story unfolded, he recounts it as any other American grappling with a devastating diagnosis of a dying family member — from treatment decisions to family planning, and trying to balance all that is life in the process.  But, unlike most other Americans, he was also grappling with whether to run for President in the 2016 election. Ultimately, as a result of the toll the prior year took on him, he did not. But, the "promise" referred to in the title was very much about his son's wish for him to attain American presidency. And, underlying every word of the book, Joe Biden's deep regret could be felt.  Although he remained tight lipped for a long time about his decision to run in 2020, I knew he would be driven by his son's dying wish.  And as a fellow Scranton-born American, I feel especially proud at this moment, and I very sincerely hope the next four years becomes one of unity, health and growth for ALL Americans, under the helm of a leader who knows and understands struggle and loss. #scrappykidfromscranton
Today on the blog, I posted a review of my absolut Today on the blog, I posted a review of my absolute favorite accessory for reading and life -- the #ChappyWrap blanket.  After I had purchased one for my mother in law last Christmas and she was still raving about it six months later, I immediately purchased one for me and one for my husband.  Well, the first night we used them, neither of us moved upstairs from the couch, and they are now a daily staple in our lives. A day doesn’t go by in which we don’t say the word “ChappyWrap.” I actually have one thrown over my legs as I type!  So, yes, they really are that good. What it really comes down to are a few great things:  📖They are oversized.  📖They are really soft.  📖They are thick & warm without being bulky.  📖They wash really well.  And our cats love them so much that we actually bargain with them that we will get the ChappyWrap out if they behave. And just the other day, one of our cats started crying when we folded one up and put it away.😸😹😻  For the full review on JulesBuono.com, click the "new blog post" link in my bio.  What's your favorite reading accessory?
