How to tie wedding programs with ribbon

If you are in a rush or if you are on a budget, a great way to save time and money is to make your very own wedding programs. Here are 3 ideas as to how you can make a beautiful wedding program at home with your very own personalized ribbon:. It is quite easy and even the most creatively inept person can have some fun with this design. First, design your wedding program on your computer. Divide the page in half and arrange your text horizontally so that it fits across the two halves in such a way that when your wedding program is printed, it will fold into a book.

Print your wedding program. Punch a hole about one inch from the top along the spine of the book. Punch another hole about one inch from the bottom along the spine. Insert your custom printed ribbon into the two holes and tie the printed ribbon into a bow on the outside of your wedding programs.

Ask a friend to help and you should be done in no time. If you are particularly pressed for time, you can even skip the hole punching part and just tie your personalized ribbon in a bow along the spine of your wedding program. Tie Personalized Ribbon along the top of your Wedding Program If your wedding program is going to be just one page, this is a great way to spice it up.

Print your one-page wedding program on nice cream-colored paper. Glue this wedding program onto another colored piece of paper that is slightly larger than the wedding program itself. This background colored paper will act as a border around your wedding program. Among its many uses, wedding ribbon can be used to create decorative personalized wedding programs.

Design a customized wedding ribbon printed with the bride and groom's names and wedding date. With many ribbon styles, colors, and imprint colors to choose from, you can create personalized wedding ribbons that will match your wedding theme and color ensemble.

The result is an attractive program presentation that expresses an added level of creativity and personality.

Alternatively, use a yellow or red ribbon, two colors that complement blue. A third option is to make the ribbon one of your wedding colors. Just make sure it doesn't clash too violently with the colors on your program. If you're unsure what colors go together, consult a color wheel. Buy ribbon from a local craft store or online. If you purchase online, be aware that your monitor settings can alter the appearance of the ribbon's color. Buy a hole puncher from an office supply store if you don't already have one.
