Step 5: Assembly
Stick 4 adhesive dots inside the marking line on the front of the green card.
Fold the green card along the centerline. Remove the masking paper from the adhesive dots and fix the cream card to the front of the green card. Orient yourself by the marking line. Now insert the prepared, ready-printed folded insert with the information on the celebration into the folding card.
Fold the transparent paper tab along the two vertical lines.
Now place the transparent tab on the invitation card so that the motifs lie on top of each other.
Finally, turn the card over and glue the transparent paper tab to the overlap with a glue dot.
Inspiration
The invitation card can be very well extended to a wedding set. As inspiration you will find in the file the templates for a menu card as well as for a card "save the date".
