How to Make It
- Type the invitation or menu information on a computer, sizing it to fit in a 3-1/2-x-7-inch area.
- Select one or more fonts of your choice. Vary the font colors, and italicize as desired to emphasize key words.
- Adjust the left margin to allow for embellishments; the margin for our invitation is 1 3/4 inches; for our menu, it's 2 1/4 inches.
- Print a test sample on white paper; make adjustments as needed.
- When you're pleased with the sample, print the invitation or menu on a 5-1/2-x-8-1/2-inch piece of tan card stock.
- Round the two right corners of the card stock.
- Use adhesive to attach a 1-x- 8-1/2-inch strip of patterned paper along the left edge; apply ribbon over the seam.
- Attach a sprig of bittersweet with glue dots.

I invite my inlaws and family over every year and I wanted to do something special this year and this was so easy and beautiful. I just mailed the invites today and printed a rough draft of the menus and they turned out great!
