    We ordered our invites through kinkos. I wanted to tie a ribbon around the invite, response card and website card to "spruce" them up and hold them together. (they are VERY plain and traditional)

    What kind of ribbon would be good for a project like that? I'm afraid the ribbon with shred or be a big hassle at the post office... any suggestions??

    I used this website and if you mail them the invitation they will match the ink and hot cut them for you to your desired length for a pretty cheap price.  I am supposed to be receiving my samples today so I can't comment on the cutting yet.  Also if you buy ribbon and mail it to them they will also cut it.

    Hi Tallbride,

     

    I have ribbons that came with my invitations, thety are a nude/ beige color.  They are a perfect size and will look great on an invite-- if you know how to tie a cute bow.

     

    You can have them if you want -- just email me -- mec6197@gmail.com

    Generally speaking, I like a plain grosgrain ribbon. If you make a little square/rectangle out of cardstock with some sort of design printed on it (monogram, logo, etc), you can use it as a closure with zots instead of tying a knot, thus avoiding post office issues.

    You can also use regular craft glue (something viscous, not the clear stuff you just use for paper) if you put a small piece of parchment paper between the glued pieces and the invitation pieces, so nothing soaks through. Just remove once it's dry.
