Helpful Tips:

Co-ordinate your invitations with your table settings and Order of Services Booklets.

When laying out your wording, always trial on copy paper and ensure you have left sufficient space for embellishments.

You can use Decorative Edgers instead of a Paper Trimmer to further embellish your design.

Use Reversible or Designer Paper for an extra layer between card and wording layers to add extra detail. Simply cut to size slightly larger than wording layer to allow pattern to be visible.


Variations:



Add a wrap using decorative paper trimmed into a strip using decorative edgers and finish with Grosgrain Ribbon and a Designer Buckle. Click here so see an example of this style in the Gallery.

Use a strip of decorative paper and shapes cut using a Craft Punch to embellish invitations, menus, and gift vouchers. Use Paper Fasteners or double-sided tape to attach embellishments. Click here so see an example of this style in the Gallery.

Use a border punch to create a decorative strip and fasten this beneath decorative paper strip as an alternative to using Grosgrain Ribbon. Click here so see an example of this style in our Gallery.
