I Made an Entire Wedding Collection with a 45W Laser — 10 DIY Wedding Projects – Wecreat Vision Pro 45W
What if you could create almost an entire collection of personalized wedding details with one machine?
After planning my own wedding, I realized just how many little details go into making a wedding feel personal and special. Invitations, menus, place cards, wedding favors, table numbers, signs… the list goes on!
So I decided to put my WeCreat Vision Pro 45W to the test and create 10 different wedding projects, using different types and thicknesses of wood, engraving, cutting, multiple layers, and even the Pass-Through Feeder for one of the larger projects.
The result was an entire collection of personalized wedding décor that coordinated with the colors and style of the wedding.
And the best part? Many of these ideas can also be adapted for birthdays, parties, events, home décor, or a small personalized-product business.

The Wedding Projects I Created
Here are the 10 projects I made for this collection:
- Save the Date / Wedding Invitations
- Wedding Guest Book
- Wooden Place Cards
- Wedding Menu Cards
- Wedding Party Favors / Coasters
- Cake Topper
- Table Numbers
- Find Your Table Sign
- Wedding Initials Sign
- Welcome Sign
I started with smaller projects and gradually worked my way up to larger and thicker pieces. This also gave me the opportunity to test different capabilities of the Vision Pro throughout the project.
What I Used
For this collection, I worked with several different materials and thicknesses, including:
- 3 mm basswood
- 3 mm balsa wood
- 10 mm plywood
- 18 mm wood
- 20 mm plywood
- Metallic acrylic paint
- Thick cardstock
- CYAFIXED Permanent Glue
- Jute twine
- Sandpaper
For some of the larger wood pieces, I used 2 x 4 wood purchased from Lowe’s. The pieces are larger but they cut them for me at at Lowe’s
For assembling the layered projects, I used CYAFIXED Permanent Glue.
And of course, the machine I used for the entire collection was the WeCreat Vision Pro 45W. Buy the WeCreat Vision Pro 45W

1. Save the Date / Wedding Invitations
I started with the wedding invitations because this was a great project to demonstrate the basic workflow I would use throughout the rest of the collection.
For these, I used 3 mm basswood and combined three different types of laser work:
- Line engraving
- Filled engraving
- Cutting
I imported my SVG design into the WeCreat software and separated the different layers according to the type of work they needed.
The software automatically provided the recommended parameters for the material, and I decided to use those settings without making additional adjustments.
I also used Autofocus before starting the job.
One of the things I really liked about this project was being able to duplicate the design and cut two invitations from the same sheet of wood. This helped me make better use of the material and save the remaining space for other wedding projects.
Finishing the Invitations
After cutting, some of the engraved areas had a little smoke residue, so I used an electric sander to clean them up.
You can absolutely sand them by hand, but having a small sander makes the process much faster.
For an optional finish, I also used butcher block oil and finish. I applied a very small amount, wiped away the excess, and allowed the wood to dry.
This step isn’t necessary, but I really liked how it brought out the natural wood and made the engraving stand out even more.
2. Wedding Guest Book
For the second project, I created a personalized wooden wedding guest book.
The front and back covers were cut at 8.5 x 11 inches, which allowed me to use standard letter-size pages inside.
The front cover features a detailed engraved design, while the back cover was cut to match.
One of my favorite details is that the machine creates small cuts along the folding area of the wooden cover. This allows the wood to become flexible enough for the book to open nicely.
After cutting both covers, I prepared the pages and added holes that matched the wooden covers.
Finally, I assembled everything using jute twine.
The finished guest book is simple, personalized, and something we can keep long after the wedding.

3. Wooden Place Cards
Next, I created the wooden place cards for each guest.
Because these pieces are so small, this was the perfect opportunity to use some of the leftover wood from previous projects.
I love doing this whenever possible because small pieces of scrap wood can be incredibly useful for personalized projects.
Each piece was cut and engraved with the guest’s name.
These little wooden place cards are a beautiful way to personalize each place setting while also making better use of your materials.
4. Wedding Menu Cards
For the fourth project, I created wooden wedding menu cards.
I used both cutting and line engraving to create a subtle decorative frame from wood.
Instead of engraving the menu text directly into the wood, I printed the menu on thick cardstock and cut it slightly smaller than the wooden piece.
Then I attached the printed menu to the engraved wood using glue.
I really like this technique because it gives you the beauty of a laser-cut wooden detail while still allowing you to easily customize the printed information.
And if you want to take it a step further, you could add another small wooden element on top of the cardstock to create even more dimension.
5. Wedding Party Favors — Layered Monstera Coasters
This project might be one of my favorites because it combines several different techniques.
I created personalized party favors using layered wooden coasters.
For the coasters, I used 3 mm balsa wood and created two layers.
The top layer features an intricate Monstera leaf design, which coordinated beautifully with the botanical theme of the wedding.
After cutting all the pieces, I painted the top layer with metallic gold acrylic paint.
The wedding colors included natural wood, white, and gold, so I wanted the party favors to coordinate with the rest of the collection.
Once the paint was completely dry, I glued the two layers together using CYAFIXED permanent glue.
Adding the Presentation Card
To make the favors look a little more elegant, I also created a 5 x 7-inch card using thick cardstock. Thick cardstock
The coaster isn’t permanently attached to the card. I used just a small amount of glue to keep it in place while still allowing the coaster to function as the actual party favor.
This is a great example of how a simple laser-cut product can be elevated with thoughtful presentation.
Monstera Coaster Design
The layered Monstera coaster design I used is from Creative Fabrica:

6. Wooden Wedding Cake Topper
For the cake topper, I wanted to test something a little thicker.
I used 10 mm wood and was really impressed with how cleanly the machine handled the material.
The design came from Creative Fabrica. I downloaded the file, imported it into the WeCreat software, and used the automatic settings provided by the software.
After cutting, I painted only the decorative top portion with metallic acrylic paint. Metallic acrylic paint
The section that will be inserted into the cake was left unpainted.
A cake topper can be a very simple one-layer project, but you could also create multiple layers to give it a more dimensional appearance.
7. Table Numbers
Next came the table numbers.
For this project, I wanted to push the machine even further, so I used 18 mm thick wood.
Yes — 18 mm!
This wood was purchased from a hardware store, and I was very happy with how clean the cut looked despite the thickness.
For the base, I planned to use metallic gold paint, while the individual numbers were cut separately from 3 mm wood and painted white. Metallic acrylic paint
Combining the two layers creates a dimensional table number that coordinates with the rest of the wedding décor.
This project was also a great reminder that experimenting with different material thicknesses can open up many more possibilities for personalized projects.

8. Find Your Table Sign
For the Find Your Table sign, I used a larger piece of 10 mm plywood, approximately 20 x 10 inches.
This project combines:
- Cutting
- Filled engraving
- Layered wood elements
- Painted decorations
- Cardstock guest names
I also cut several Monstera leaves to decorate the sign.
I first arranged all the pieces to figure out the composition before gluing anything permanently.
For the lower section, I cut several smaller wooden squares and connected them with jute twine. Jute twine
You could easily customize this part using ribbon, another type of cord, or even wire depending on the look you’re going for.
I printed the guest names on thick cardstock and added them to the individual pieces. Thick cardstock
To give the sign even more dimension, I added small wooden Monstera leaf cutouts to some of the cards.
I love that this type of sign doesn’t have to be limited to weddings. You could use the same concept for a family photo display, home décor, parties, or other events.

9. Wedding Initials Sign
For this project, I created a personalized sign featuring the couple’s initials.
I used 10 mm plywood for the large initials and the decorative leaves.
The main background is a 20 x 20-inch plywood square, which I rotated so that it sits like a diamond rather than a traditional square.
I painted the initials gold and the decorative leaves white using metallic acrylic paint where needed. Metallic acrylic paint
For the lower portion, I added additional Monstera leaves as decorative elements.
Once all the pieces were arranged exactly where I wanted them, I attached them using permanent glue. CYAFIXED Permanent Glue
The final touch is simply adding a hanging hardware piece to the back.
And just like that, you have a personalized wedding sign that could be displayed at the ceremony, reception, sweetheart table, or even kept as home décor after the wedding.
10. Welcome Sign — Using the Pass-Through Feeder
And finally, we reached the largest project in this collection: the Welcome Sign.
For this project, I used 20 mm plywood and a piece that was approximately 20 inches wide and 4 feet long.
For this larger piece, I used 2 x 4 wood purchased from Lowe’s. 2 x 4 Wood at Lowe’s
That is much longer than the standard working area of the machine, which is why this was the perfect opportunity to use the Pass-Through Feeder.
This accessory allows you to work with longer materials and create longer cuts and engravings.
For this sign, I combined:
- Filled engraving
- Line engraving
- Cutting
- Multiple layers
- Painted wooden elements
The background remains the natural wood color, while the Monstera leaves are painted gold with metallic acrylic paint Metallic acrylic paint and the couple’s names are painted white.
How the Pass-Through Feeder Holds the Material
One thing I wanted to show is what happens when cutting a large piece using the Pass-Through Feeder.
The machine doesn’t completely separate the piece from the material during the final cut. Instead, it leaves tiny connection points on the back.
These little points help keep the large piece stable while the machine is working.
Once the job is finished, the cut piece is still very easy to remove.
If there are any tiny wood fibers left behind, I simply use fine sandpaper to clean the edges.
I also lightly sanded the filled engraved areas to remove any residue and give the surface a cleaner finish.
After that, it was time to paint and assemble all the layers.
And this is where the Welcome Sign really started to come together.

What I Learned From Making 10 Wedding Projects
Creating this entire collection gave me the opportunity to use the laser in many different ways.
I wasn’t just cutting one type of wood or making one type of project.
I was working with:
Different materials:
From thin 3 mm wood to 20 mm plywood.
Different techniques:
Line engraving, filled engraving, cutting, layering, painting, and assembly.
Different project sizes:
From tiny guest name cards to a 4-foot-long Welcome Sign.
Batch production:
Several of the projects required multiple identical pieces, which is especially important if you’re creating products for an event or a small business.
And that’s one of the things I really enjoyed about this project. When you’re creating for a wedding, you’re rarely making just one item. You might need 20 place cards, 50 favors, 10 table numbers, or dozens of invitations.
Being able to design once and then produce multiple pieces can save a lot of time and effort.

Could You Make an Entire Wedding Collection With a Laser?
Absolutely — and this project showed me just how many possibilities there are.
You don’t have to recreate these projects exactly as I did. You could change the fonts, colors, materials, shapes, sizes, and decorative elements to create an entirely different wedding collection.
And you don’t have to be planning a wedding to use these ideas.
The same techniques can be used for:
- Birthday parties
- Baby showers
- Anniversary celebrations
- Corporate events
- Quinceañeras
- Home décor
- Personalized gifts
- Etsy products
- Small custom-product businesses
- Event décor
The important thing is to start thinking beyond what the machine can cut and start thinking about what you can create with it.
A simple piece of wood can become an invitation, a keepsake, a personalized gift, a party favor, a sign, or a product you can sell.
And that’s exactly what I wanted to explore with this wedding collection.
