DIY Wedding "Hanky" Love Letters | August 30, 2010
I love the creative ways in which vintage handkerchiefs have been incorporated into weddings recently! Whether for Save the Dates, Invitations or simply for decoration- a collection of these hankies in various floral patterns creates such a beautiful, old-fashioned aesthetic.
Inspired by this concept, I designed some letter-writing paper sheets in the style of vintage hankies. Guests can pick them off a line to write little notes to the newlyweds and then hang them back up for display!
In the same vein as this previous DIY where I also explored the concept of 'Love Notes', these "Hanky" Love Letters are a unique guestbook alternative for your wedding.
Download the designs below and print out onto textured white stock. Then use a ruler and scalpel to cut out the individual sheets.
I've also provided a design with a cross-stitch heart in the center. This can be used as a decorative device in between your hanging letters.
I hope you enjoy these designs! I'm sure you can find a multitude of other uses for them also- e.g notecards, everyday letter-writing, thank-you notes etc.

Second is to use the Snapshot Tool which looks like a camera in the Adobe .pdf reader. After you click the camera icon drag a box around what you want to copy and then paste it into an image editor like Photoshop Elements (you can download a free trial) and then you can make a text layer on top of the hanky layer. That is how I did it. They came out so cute!
Thank you!!
We really to say thank so much for your idea.
We will use it in my wedding soon.
I would like your permeation to make a card for a friend of mine whom is so dear to my heart.
Thank U & GOD BLESS U
