Centre template

Side template

A gatefold card is not always practical for a church wedding Order of Service where you will need space for hymn wordings etc. But for the Order of the Day for a civil ceremony, it's a great alternative to the traditional single fold card.

This chocolate brown and gold design is made using an A5 gatefold tapestry broderie card with 3 separate panel inserts inside.

You will need:

• A5 gatefold card blank in tapestry brown
• 1 x Insert for A5 gatefold card (197mm x 144mm) for the central panel
• 2 x Insert paper cut to 197mm x 70mm for the side panels
• 23mm organza ribbon in cream
• gold glitter butterfly
• adhesive tape pen

Set up the text you require using the insert templates provided. We put the main order of the day in the centre with the names, date and location on the left panel and the details of the wedding ceremony on the right. There are no fixed rules for an order of the day, so you can include whatever you wish.

Print the inserts - we used a chocolate brown shade for the text to match the card.

Fix the inserts inside the card using the tape pen.

Run a line of adhesive across the centre back of the card to hold the ribbon in place and attach the ribbon. Tie in a bow at the front and trim the ends to neaten.

Attach the butterfly (or other embellishment) in the top right corner.
