1. Vellum Envelopes (A7) Translucent finish looks premium over printed invites or photo cards; hides ink smudges better than glassine.
2. Double‑Face Satin Ribbon (Sage/your color) Soft, drapey bow; double‑sided sheen photographs beautifully. Choose 1”–1.5” for invites and gift wraps.
3. Wax Seal Kit (with beads + 2 stamps) Easy, odor‑light beads melt cleanly; use for invite wraps, thank‑you notes, menus.
4. Acrylic Sign Stands (5×7 and 8.5×11) Clear, modern look for table numbers, bar menus, and seating chart headers.
5. Corner Rounder Punch (Large 10 mm) Instantly polishes DIY cards and menus; hides tiny cutting imperfections.
6. Paper Trimmer (self‑sharpening rail) Straight, clean edges for invites, cards, and signage; faster than a craft knife.
7. Glue Dots / Double‑Sided Tape Mess‑free adhesion for ribbon tails and wax‑seal placement.

Paper & Envelope Guide

Table Stationery (place cards, numbers & stands)

• Place cards: tent or flat; round the corners to match the invite style.
• Table numbers: print 5×7 or 8×10; slot into acrylic stands.
• Menus: 4×9 or A5 works well; a slim satin bow at the top looks refined.

Ribbon width guide (copy into a native Table block):

• 0.5” — place cards; small knot works best.
• 1” — invitation wraps; easiest to tie neatly.
• 1.5” — gift boxes, bouquets, dramatic menus.

Signage & Photo Corner

• Welcome sign: foam board or acrylic; add greenery, keep text minimal.
• Bar & dessert menus: print 5×7; display in acrylic stands.
• Photo corner props: your ribbon color on frames/corners ties it together.

DIY Toolkit (time‑saving basics)

• Corner rounder (large) — hides micro-cuts on cards
• Rail trimmer (12″) — dead-straight edges faster than a craft knife
• Bone folder — crisp folds without shine
• Heat-resistant mat + wax spoon (non-stick)
• Extra tealights & a mini lighter
• Glue dots for seals + tape for placement

Upgrades: silicone wax pad, quick-melt bead warmer, anti-static cloth for acrylic.

Quantities Cheat-Sheet (100 guests ≈ 10 tables)

• Vellum envelopes: 50–60 (couples/families share)
• Ribbon: 1 roll 25 yd per ~25–30 invites (1”–1.5” width)

• Acrylic stands: 10–12 (table numbers + bar/dessert menus)
• Cardstock: 120–150 sheets for menus/place cards/spares

Scale up/down by your guest count.

Common Mistakes & Quick Fixes

FAQs

What ribbon length per invitation?
30–36″ for a neat bow with trimmed tails (1″–1.5″ width). Wider ribbon needs more; thinner, a bit less.

Vellum vs. glassine envelopes?
Vellum is stiffer, ink-friendly, and photographs luxe. Glassine is softer/more translucent but can show adhesive.

How many wax seals should I make in advance?
Make invites × 1.1 and keep 10–15 spare seals for last-minute guests.

Best paper for home printers?
Matte 120–150 gsm feeds cleanly on most inkjets; set High quality, Plain/Matte media, no border.

Will 38 mm ribbon look too big?
It’s dramatic. Works best on menus/gift boxes and for highly styled photos.
