One Stroke Painting

• One stroke painting around the edges of the mat lends impact.
  
  An important part of framing your invitation can be the mat that surrounds it. Take advantage of this space with a little one stroke painting. You will be able to incorporate the look and feel of the flowers carried at the ceremony while giving your invitation a more visual impact. Frame the piece in a color that matches the color of the writing on your invite to finish the project.
  
  

The More the Merrier

• Add photos or mementos to your framed piece for added interest
  
  Try adding additional items to your invitation to give your project more life. Include photos of the wedding itself as well as a memento or two. Matchbooks or pressed flowers will fit into a frame easily. If you scrapbook, create a page that includes the invitation, lace or ribbons the colors of the wedding, flowers, photos and other items. Frame the page rather than place it in an album.
