Using Satin Ribbon To Wrap Wedding Invites Elegantly

Adding a ribbon to your wedding invitation is a great way to jazz up your DIY invitation design. Satin ribbons come in a variety of colours, textures and styles, and can be used to create a tactile experience for the recipient. To use a satin ribbon to wrap your wedding invitation, you will need to cut the ribbon to the appropriate length, place your invitation in the middle, fold both ends across the front, and tie a knot or a bow. You can also use double-sided tape to secure the ribbon.

How to tie a ribbon envelope

To tie a ribbon envelope for a wedding invitation, you will need an envelope, a response card, a response envelope, and a ribbon. The ribbon should be made of a luxurious material such as silk, velvet, or chiffon, and it should complement the colour scheme of your wedding.

The first step is to gather all the pieces of your invitation suite. Place the invitation inside the envelope, followed by the large enclosure (printed side up), the response envelope (printed side up, with the flap on the right side), the response card (printed side up), and finally, the small enclosure (printed side up).

Now you are ready to tie the ribbon. Cut your ribbon to the appropriate length, depending on how you plan to use it. For an invitation wrapped and closed with a wax seal, you will need approximately 18 inches. If you plan to tie it in a knot, you will need around 20 inches, and for a bow, you will need between 24 and 30 inches.

Place your invitation suite in the middle of the ribbon, with the matte side up. Take both ends of the ribbon and fold them across the front of the invitation. Tuck the left end under the right end, then pull both ends tight. Place your right middle finger in the middle of the twist to secure the tie. While holding the twist in place, use your left hand to fold the bottom piece of ribbon upward, so it is parallel to the top piece.

Now, take the left end of the ribbon and fold it over the right end, then tuck it through the hole in the middle, just like you're tying your shoelace. Pull the ends tight, and your ribbon envelope is complete!

• Cross the ribbons across the front of the scroll.
• Wrap the ribbon around the back of the scroll and back to the front.
• Measure the ribbon and cut it.

For a fancier touch, cut the ends of the tails into angles or Vs.

How to tie a ribbon step-by-step

To create a beautiful wedding invitation, you can tie a ribbon around it. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

Step 1:

First, cut your ribbon to the appropriate length. The length will depend on how you want to tie the ribbon. If you plan to tie it in a knot, 20 inches is a good estimate. For a bow, you will need more, around 24 to 30 inches.

Step 2:

Place your invitation suite in the middle of the ribbon, matte side up. You can use double-sided tape to secure the ribbon to the back of the invitation if you wish.

Step 3:

Take the left side of the ribbon and cross it over and under the right side. This will create an 'X' shape.

Step 4:

Place your finger in the centre of the 'X' to hold it in place. Then, take the right side of the ribbon and create a loop, about an inch high.

Step 5:

Bring the two lengths of ribbon together, with the right side going over the left. Then, go back around and under, creating a loose knot.

Step 6:

Pull the knot tight. You can also add a wax seal to secure the ribbon further.

Step 7:

Finally, you can tie a bow. A simple way to do this is by using the 'bunny ears' technique.

Your invitation is now ready to be placed in an envelope and sent to your guests!

How to tie a knot with a statin ribbon

Tying a knot with a satin ribbon is a great way to add a luxurious finishing touch to your wedding invitations. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it:
