Determine the material you will use
Once you have decided how to preserve the card, take the wedding invitation and affix it to the item that you have decided to utilize; it does not matter if it is a plaque or a wooden jewelry box. Attach it with craft glue and force out any air bubbles to make sure it does not get lumpy. Remember to clear any extra glue left. Then, let it dry for a while. After the wedding invitation is glued, and the glue has dried completely, just paint it with polyurethane; paint on multiple layers, for optimum results. -

Install the picture frame
When it is all dry you can add the finishing touches. If you're using a plaque, you can add a brass hanging photo frame hook. Once this is done, you can hang it on the wall or wrap it up and give it as a gift or present to your other half. This is the perfect anniversary gift and keepsake. If you wish to go digital, you can also scan the wedding invitation and save it on your laptop or computer. Then, you can print it out with a photo of you and your spouse on the day of your wedding.
