Card Albums

Options
Hi All

I wonder if you can assist me in my quest for a method of storage to keep our engagement cards in. I didn't really want a memory box for them but almost like a photo album. I have been googling but to no avail.

What did you do with your engagement/wedding cards please? Any ideas welcome.

Thanks

    Try looking for looseleaf postcard albums instead, you might find more choice.

    I don't keep cards so mine went in the bin. Are you wanting to have them in an album so you can read the insides or just look at the pictures? If its the pictures what about a photo album?
    Forty and fabulous, well that's what my cards say....

    Thanks both for your help.I'd want to be able to take them in and out to be able to read the insides and it's something else to show our kids in the future.

    If you're crafty you could try this idea http://somethingturquoise.com/2011/11/11/diy-card-mini-album/

    Mine are all in a couple of pretty storage boxes from Ikea, along with a copy of our invitation, a confetti cone, menu from the tables and my garter.

    We've framed our table name/pictures and hung them up the stairs, along with a couple of snap-shot photos from the day.
  • I bought a couple of 'Phatstak' albums from ebay - one each for my niece and nephew. Great for storing their school drawings etc. Just search above on ebay :)

  • I'd been contemplating the same thing! I was going to stil them in my photo album with extra strong pritt stick, but I was worried they would be too heavy and fall out. So I might give the ring idea a go! However, I do have some extra large cards along with the standard sizes so I'm not sure if it will look as effective. A project to add to the list...!

    I did look at the Phatstacks, but they're only around 6 pages and I don't think that it will be big enough.
