I was going through my pile of memorabilia this weekend until I discovered a shoeboxful of notes, letters and cards! While rereading some, I found myself grinning sheepishly for keeping the junk I now consider but previously thought of as precious keepsake decades ago. Admit it. You must have also kept wrappers of chocolates, concert tickets or what-have-you in your younger years, right?
With the passage of time, invitation cards have evolved too. Gone were the days when it were boring and simple. And besides, these are a preview of what the actual celebration is like.The recipients of these cards will surely look forward to the big day as they discover more surprises because of a well-thought celebration that started from an invitation!

ReplyDeleteWow! How creative and beautiful.... Certainly something to keep and treasure.
ReplyDeletehow pretty! i love that last one. it looks like delicate lace :)
ReplyDeletesuch lovely cards! wow!
ReplyDeleteThese invitations sure are beautiful! Are they handmade? If so, then I hope the one giving them out won't have to make 500 copies. Hehe!
ReplyDeleteWow, artistic! It's a product of diligence and hard work. Merely cutting them is a great deal of time.
ReplyDeleteI like the last one. Very intricate details. I love receiving cards like these :)
ReplyDeleteTHose are really lovely cards. I too wouldn't mind one of them.
ReplyDeleteBet that most of us have an old box of cards somewhere in our home... We DO hold on to things like that. But you are right. Cards have truly changed through the years.. Amazing, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I remember collecting stationery, tags, tissue with prints during my younger days. But I can't find them now. Those cards are really artistic!
ReplyDeleteWow! I like them all, especially the last one! If only I have seen those before our wedding.
ReplyDeleteI also collect invitations, cards, letters back then and still I have it :) It just a reminder how fun the memories behind all those stuff.:)
ReplyDeleteBefore I used to collect stationeries and some of the cards I received. I used to leave them at home but I can't find them already.
ReplyDeleteI collect napkins from restaurant I dined-in. My husband would tease me every time he remembers.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful. I like the first photo. Parang it has its own life.
ReplyDeleteYeah, marami ako nyan, mag abubot sabi ng nanay ko hahaha... ung drawer ko punong-puno ng kung ano-anong mga anik anik, baka daw ahasin na.
ReplyDeleteRight! they remind us of what we've been through.. I admire the artistic minds of those who created such intricate cards.
ReplyDeleteI keep cards that are unique and beautiful, too! :) Sad, though, that beautiful cards are hard to come by these days.
ReplyDeleteyes, i did keep wrappers and tickets when I was younger! hihi! in fact, I just recently showed my husband some of my "treasures". it reminds me of our dates when we were still bf-gf. :-)
ReplyDeleteAwww, the last card is my favorite! I like the intricate lace effect. Perfect for a wedding invitation. :-)
ReplyDeleteoh, same with you...i have a stash of different cards and letters too, sometimes i also love rereading my keepsakes hahaha
ReplyDeleteI love them all especially the last one! Sure beats a million e-cards that one will receive :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, great job:) Greetings
ReplyDeleteThat flower box tops it all...No way you could ever miss that one. :-) Oh I do have a box of keepsakes as well, but I think I already threw away the chocolate wrappers lol. Might be magnet for ants hahaha!
ReplyDeleteThat's true. Gone are the simple Hallmark cards that you buy in bookstores. But what we can see now are all types of creative and eye catching designs of cards from christening invitations to wedding cards. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty x
ReplyDeleteAng gaganda, truly works of art nga. I love that although these days uso na ang e-invites, people still choose to make something beautiful in paper. :)
