    Hi ladies, just wondering if anyone knows a good place to buy satin ribbon.  I need ivory satin ribbon about 7/8" to use as binding for my programs.  Not sure how much I'll need...maybe 40-50 yards.  The ribbon I found at Michael's was $20 for 20 yards.  That seems high, no?  Any suggestions on a reputable online vendor?

    I got VERY cheap ribbon from http://www.papermart.com/, where I ordered my boxes for our candy buffet.  I only added the ribbon because I needed my order to be $3 more for free shipping.  I got my order in about a week and a half and it was a great deal for bulkribbon!

    I used jkmribbon.com - they have tons of options and their prices are way cheaper.  The ribbon comes in larger quantities (50 yard+ rolls), so it ended up being cheaper than getting tons of rolls from Michaels.

     

    Good luck!

    Check out eBay! You can get 100 Yards for less than 5 bucks. It's a great deal.

    I also used jkmribbon.com -- their ribbon is super affordable, but be aware that they take a little while to ship (I think they shipped 10 days after I placed my order)

    i used efavormart. It's super cheap! For my 3/8" ribbon, 100yards was only $4! For 7/8" I think it was round that price but for 25yds. Still not bad imo.

    I used ribbonfactory.com, they can also pre-cut the ribbon into strips for you.  Affordable, fast shipping, and a huge variety of colors!

    I got some ribbon from codwholesale.com.  I was really impressed with their color selection and their low prices.  I got the ribbon and the quality was great!  I got two different widths.  I wanted some to tie programs, but I also have flip flops to tie together.  And you never know when you can use more ribbon!
