What can I do?

I get this question almost everyday from planning brides..
What can I do to jazz up my invitation kits?


I tell everyone... EMBELLISHMENTS EMBELLISHMENTS EMBELLISHMENTS!

Look at the kit you have... does it have any distinct designs to it?? Flowers, hearts, stripes? I recently helped a bride on my local knot board jazz up her double heart invitation kit. This knottie knew she wanted to add a belly band of some sort.. it ended up being a ribbon in her wedding color (RED)... once she added the ribbon it still didn't seem to be pulled together. The ribbon seemed to be disconnected from the invite, my suggestion to her was to add BLING! Yes RHINESTONES! I told her to take a visit to ejoyce.com which is a great site for purchasing rhinestones and such. So with my suggestion this knottie added two teeny red rhinestones in the same color as her wedding ribbon to her DIY invitation kit. The result? Instant pulled together polished DIY invitation!

Another suggestion I recently gave a bride using the Martha Stewart DIY Kit show below was to add a colored paper punch to the invitation. There seems to be a flower/lace motif going on and this site has fantastic paper punch tools.

So no matter how you do your invitations, kits...diy.. with help from a designer EMBELLISHMENTS HELP!
