I can’t decide how I should package my invitations! I have belly bands, twine and bows. What do you think looks best? Other suggestions are also appreciated π (would a monogram look better, etc) We have a beachy theme so I really like the twine and blues together.

What do you guys think?
All suggestions are appreciated! Thanks bees π

I like just the belly band or the belly band and the bow. But how about doing the twine just around the belly band, then tying it in a bow? What I like about the twine is the color contrast.

I’d run it by your local post office, too. In the US, they like to charge more if what’s in the envelope isn’t flat. I think there’s a greater chance of it getting mangled, when it goes through their processing machines.

2XMOB: Good point! My invitations are going to be lumpy anyways though just because of the different sizes of papers that are in it.

I agree with the first poster who said about the twine tied into a bow ontop of the belly band. It gives it a lot more contrast as the bow kind of gets lost in the blue band whereas the twine stand out much more.
