Helpful Tips:

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

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

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

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

Depending on the patterned paper you choose to use, you may wish to vary the width of the strip of decorative paper to suit the pattern. Remember, you may also need to adjust the size of your wording and alignment.


Variations:



Trim wording using a paper trimmer or scissors. Then attach to a piece of Reversible Paper which is trimmed to DL dimensions (210mm x 99mm) and fold over a strip at one side. Use a hand punch to make two holes through both layers and secure with Grosgrain Ribbon. Click here so see an example of this style in our Gallery.
