How to make scroll invitations?
Wedding invitations set the initial style and tone for the wedding's theme. Many couples choose to customize their invitations by either including personalized elements or by making the invitations from scratch. This page describes how to make customized double scroll wedding invitations with wax seals. Supplies
For Scroll:
- Paper
- Printer or calligraphy pens
- Paper cutter
- Dowel rods
- Elmer's White Glue (or wood glue)
- Clothes pins
- For Binding:
- Ribbon
- Scissors
- Rubber Cement
- Sealing wax
- Wax seal stamp
- Matches
Process
Create scroll
- Determine the text of your invitation.
- Select the paper of your choice. 8½" x 11" sheets with a light parchment coloring or texture work well.
- Print the invitations with your printer or write them by hand. Two invitations can be printed side by side on each page. Be sure to leave several inches of white space at the top and bottom.
Use the paper cutter to separate the invitations.
- Cut the dowel rods to the desired length (approximately 6").
- Apply the glue (either wood glue or white glue) to the invitation. The glue should be spread evenly across the top inch of the print side of the invitation.
- While the glue is wet, place the dowel rod on the glue. Roll tightly 1½ times. Secure with clothes pin until glue is dry.
- Repeat the prior two steps with the bottom of the invitation.
Create binding
- Cut ribbon to appropriate length (approximately 3 inches). It may take several trials before you find the best length for your invitations. If you are layering two types of ribbon, be sure to cut the outer ribbon a bit longer than the inner ribbon.
- Use rubber cement to glue ribbon layers together. Be careful to avoid excess glue as rubber cement does not rub easily off fabric.
-Once ribbon is dry, bring ends together forming a loop. Overlap ends by about half an inch, and apply rubber cement.
- Light sealing wax wick and carefully apply 3-5 drops to the seam of the ribbon loop. Immediately press seal firmly into wax. Tip: This process works best with two people -- one to apply wax and one to imprint the wax with the seal.
Secure invitation with binding
- Make sure the scroll and the binding have fully dried.
- Tightly roll each end of the scroll inward.
- Slide binding onto scroll.
Note: If you wish to remove binding, tighten invitation by twisting dowel rods toward each other. The binding should then easily slide off the invitation.
Finishing Product
This is the final version of the scroll invitation that we mailed to guests. Yes, these mailed fine. We simply enclosed the scroll in an envelope and paid a slightly higher postage rate. The sealing wax held firm during shipping. The biggest problem faced was that some guests were unsure of how to open the scroll. This is the simpler version of the scroll invitation that we handed out at church and to several other people in person. Since there are no dowels to provide support, these would not mail as easily in an envelope. However, they are much quicker to make than the double scroll version.
Origin of Scroll Invitation:
In ancient times, important messages were lavishly handwritten in the form of scrolls which were read and announced to the public for everyone to hear. This time tested approached has been used frequently among high society in ancient times of Indian culture.
In old England, wedding invitations were usually announced to the public by bidders, and anyone within earshot became part of the celebration. In the 18th century, people began publishing wedding invitations in the newspaper, and in Wales, bidding letters were sent to announce upcoming nuptials. Native Indians summoned guests via smoke signals, sometimes accompanied by a birch bark inscription.
In the middle Ages, nearly everyone was illiterate; therefore writing anything was considered laborious. The cote d'armes (coat of arms), or personal crest, was born out of the need to identify a person, as one's signature does today, and it was affixed to all objects and papers of import. Today, the family crest is still the hallmark of class and individuality, and often appears at the top of a formal wedding invitation.
