A wedding invitation, as well as a formal way to invite your guests, can help set the mood and theme of your wedding. We pulled together a few ways you could assemble your invitation and add that something a little extra, including some ideas on wedding invitations with bows and additional decorating elements you can add to your invitations.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h2><strong>Conventional Ribbon on Wedding Invitations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Ribbons are easy to source from any local craft and stationery store, or you can even hand-make some by tearing and trimming old (or new) fabric. If the material is frayed properly, this can add a very heritage look to your invitations.\u00a0 Dressing your wedding invitations with bows or ribbons can add a touch of color to your invitation that could indicate your wedding colors, what your bridesmaid gown\u2019s colors will be and set the tone for your guest. The following is an example on how you can step up the way you present your wedding invitations with ribboned wedding invitations.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/7BRvaT07SInuqOGBuUaDGCi-CjG83UfWir11Pnql_oiYHYNbiNAewUXMvTi8ItfPxsFQArRk1kXNU4MdBENLHKwbaL-LiYMTEy49JBYSyKrjwsxqnrr5sRBynNi5LQm5j15e4sq4eznQYpniSrIzRJWKqHahUzY9l-uvk5hit94suEk1FJfsbf0Ic5sX\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>While finding ribbons for bow wedding invitations is relatively easy, choosing which material, size and colour is another extra work. Choosing the perfect size is important so it doesn\u2019t look too big or too small on your invitations. It is also necessary to check whether the material is easy to tie or needs special glue to attach. There are also many ways to style the front side of the ribbon to ensure it looks pretty and not bulky. The last thing, you would not want the ribbon to overpower the whole invitation and then ruin the overall look.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/cY9_drCGA8jJMe_KsQO3T-OKQmL863TgB0lfUG4gIqu7VY0r23fenePp4Rp6TdCdVCK0w1b6-Ys2tHDwnzTzLX23TZxQGUkr2qQ9un-KcmTG1eunuDf8wpavYYZgEuLXq_URFkSUw-bk-b05JP5Bai7fulLfG3PHzvh8kQNRQSosSKzJgY5xeuHNIw1t\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/RD6B5pmyEk0BRKNEEHQjjwHJqyCJBQIkLuyCobqHpIvDSAW-De9bAuiXAUIlDqk9suRiaNTHZIFTBpDoEZEfVaj86yuj2Vf4jTgJt2seHNQe5bICjBw2p-XA03aHASCZS-jE5X3mks0Jp2R3buPtMGFgYIRdrPRdjLf84ekWOeFob95UeArkPjE4TYie\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>The above design shows how a small black ribbon can perfectly match vellum-wrapped invitations. Added with the final touch from the cute square hang tags, these whole DIY stuffs level up the digitally printed invitations perfectly. If you are in doubt, feel free to discuss with the Paperlust team on which colour matches your invitation design perfectly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h2><strong>Styling Ribbon for Wedding Invitations: Twine and Tag<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a fan of rustic wedding and wants to keep all the small details within the same rustic theme, get a customised matching tag with your initials or names or guest names to intertwine with the twine (you can use your ribbon too if it\u2019s thin enough) and wrap around your invite\/invitation suite. This style is straightforward and easy to assemble whilst adding that extra touch of personalization to your wedding invitations. Any twine colour is delicate; however, if you manage to find some unused leftover fabrics, you can double it with white twine, just like how we style the following wedding invites.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/wpDSQXlEfFqjIWXRfgbjhKC0iyHas2RyJ1ohnGvs9Y4OVjZfDHkh-zgTcvMjDU327K5nBvzFauaPt697IXiUTmjb7jzDu_HpNSWuDSppm2_rjQGU9J85utnOH5pvbFJM9EJURQRYbhIl2eKezL6pSaxLPNjjMjyhVRPITY--HWwYbgeLV17dL8EaI-Kd\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/FvgAJFZMZswclIBAI91KNFTnN4ey6SgEtIldyHhGt1Um1cRJI2ymrvo6M8v1q6-SHZckiZYrlZcBxiN79Fjk-rmffsWQC5SfoueWYpJN7jwajypOgRxzs-5zHiVezNuzNSERgzpnNUeoy0LQ_YiKeKWe9SkeqxIdA5jtPEuv94PO6bs7FJnF4QULWJ-i\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h2><strong>Adding Dried Leaves\/flowers on Ribbon Wedding Invites<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Time to channel the inner florist in you! Take your time finding dried leaves and flowers with longer stems to add to your invitation. You could use a little glue or tape to hold the flower in place, or if you have access to wax seal that is also an option. Tip: Flattening and drying your flower beforehand helps the whole suite sit inside your envelope nicely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/10gjD27o_mJUwx8iBIWWlWeRNjQUV9-hggtrnlnR5crHqdVxxi4BF8dvj-OurY1V1en2ql7BZzTrupdgzP7iBsl-bvYveB5-mt3I_NahfUqtObUvvAy6QJD-csuisc2N28XD8OBxuXohtdVqK791aoMjoDPhQccdBgKmtLuWGur3ZM-iZn2to7OQNZVD\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>You could also use herbs instead of flowers! Depending on which herb you use, they do leave a scent on your invitation, and your guest will get a strong whiff when they open their envelopes. Herbs with strong scents that will hold together nicely once dried include Rosemary, sage and thyme.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/ZoEG5xiLlDq6Of3RCZDe9ND8GFOmBwErB8ELkxl602vHm5crby3VPFJAeiTp10M3OPW-cdS_9rugK9bYFUSIecA6u-U7EjZ_wpNujUCnC1aOiYXjNIACO1VRgG49Q7giVxQhk0Qzy-3soUveN6f29xnBK35tlTkdMXvBcebHNhfRvISxdoXRplWX-BiR\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h2><strong>Use Vellum<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>If you want to add that special touch but don\u2019t want your envelope to be bulky because of the thick layer of ribbons, you can go with vellum wrap for a modern simple look. Vellum is a type of transparent paper that has been trending in the wedding industry. It is used to add minimal layers to enhance your wedding suite. A simple vellum wrap or vellum belly band adds a luxe presentation, and your guest will be sure to have a memorable unwrapping experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/vtFAWoSgRsWLdrxM5AvpafKvdPCUVkx7e1syThTTtGeRqEMh2ZDG_awMSCxwSnVEnK6ttnnUUaMrSWmeXc0chYG2yty95ZZ_cG688fo0ujbvMe3LoflgxScUgyp7AlJfTWlK-Dps7_wk6S4G-5hGHNl9fsh9si82XgozhrRzZC9vDvNak7OXtkDGns9H\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/yGj7jfVhotXeJ15mM-G6zxqj2fucpBseNzmdrAc4C4dA33dzcL_r8ygot3oen_dJCYP3K9nDNZyFnAuLdqiODGAnbd2h9FAED3QpwlF2x7oqxhcUBpOVBDlomwuwfFMNvyUVfMUslq5hgT__P8JiEF_0owNTEQ1XthbC_IiokyNPRnIFRpyaroNyE9zY\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h2><strong>Additional Tip: Dress your envelopes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>Want something less finicky but still have that WOW factor? Try decorating your envelope instead. You can add envelopes liners (Paperlust envelope liners require some assembly) to give your invitation look a little boost, and since liners are printed, the options are endless. You could go with a simple solid colour to tie in your wedding theme, get a certain flower pattern printed, or get foil liners to make it sparkle! Tip: we find this works best accompanied by a minimal invitation.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/FimVDc1sDyPb0Ml0S4UdMfjud7yxaXs7_IOOiq716NBriNgnB8WzR7LDUaDG3rfvAD_LcLFF8zahEnHrsG2VXpnnUE0vVynUhd9Obz-k2wRsjaK6ZqbZZZoEcXWYmrHHlcCWKtfzJTzL1FmuxAmgGeILxcp9woNO7BwMQS-RzPKGeiE_eNa9Q5Ay4Ynj\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/nMSmuaFLG8k4atEmyVPodIqW2ZvCrvwPcBX3jd8_HXnQsNewt8Otc1yHes7BcdXz55J4sMUkd5fPXdSng39ix8oLNnontjc6zfpi7oPxETLaqIEix-fSgJGrZA1fdHdAG8daI-mK3P5okqnyj-M6u4iR7OaQqFwrlsF1W68WT1LT7sm-XS9rIbsxgsXK\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p>Paperlust also offers envelope printing to put you at ease with the long list of names and addresses to write.

The material, width, and finish make a significant difference to the overall effect.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Satin ribbon:<\/strong> Smooth, shiny, and formal. The classic choice for traditional and elegant wedding invitations. Available in virtually every color. Works best for tied bows and wrapped ribbon details on heavier suites.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Grosgrain ribbon:<\/strong> Matte, ribbed texture. More casual and tactile than satin &#8211; suits <a href=\"https:\/\/paperlust.co\/browse\/wedding-invitations\/rustic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rustic<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/paperlust.co\/browse\/wedding-invitations\/boho\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">boho<\/a>, and garden wedding aesthetics particularly well. The matte finish photographs well without reflection.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Velvet ribbon:<\/strong> Luxurious, soft, and seasonal &#8211; most at home on autumn and winter wedding invitations. Deep jewel tones (burgundy, forest green, navy) in velvet look extraordinary. Slightly harder to tie neatly; practice the bow before assembling your full suite.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Twine and jute:<\/strong> Natural fiber options that suit rustic, eco, and botanical aesthetics perfectly. Often used in lieu of ribbon for kraft paper invitation suites. Creates a more casual, handcrafted feel than ribbon alternatives.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Choosing width:<\/strong> Narrow ribbon (3-6mm) suits delicate, minimalist suites and simple wrapped ties. Medium width (10-15mm) works for bows and belly band replacements. Wide ribbon (25mm+) makes a statement but can overwhelm a small invitation card &#8211; use sparingly.

Here are other embellishments that elevate a wedding invitation from beautiful to memorable.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Wax seals:<\/strong> Applied to the envelope flap or used to secure a vellum wrap, wax seals add tactile drama that no printed element can replicate. Custom monogram stamps are the most popular choice &#8211; your initials pressed in deep red, ivory, or gold wax are distinctive and personal.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Dried botanicals:<\/strong> A sprig of dried lavender, eucalyptus, pampas grass, or a pressed flower tucked under the ribbon adds a naturalistic, organic touch that guests genuinely remember. These work particularly well for botanical, rustic, and garden-themed weddings.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Tissue paper interleaving:<\/strong> A sheet of tissue paper folded over the invitation before placement in the envelope adds a discovery moment &#8211; guests peel it back to reveal the card beneath. Available in plain white, pale blush, sage green, or patterned options.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Belly bands:<\/strong> A printed strip of cardstock wrapped around the assembled suite and secured with a small wax seal or sticker. The belly band can carry the couple&#8217;s names, a short quote, or a monogram, and keeps the suite looking neat without the complexity of tying a bow. <a href=\"https:\/\/printshop.paperlust.co\/products\/custom-stickers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"broken_link\">Custom round sticker seals<\/a> from Paperlust Print Shop close the belly band perfectly.

Cut ribbon ends at 45 degrees to prevent fraying. For slippery satin, a small dab of clear adhesive on the back prevents sliding.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What ribbon width works best?<\/strong><br>3-6mm for delicate minimalist suites. 10-15mm for bows and belly band ties. 25mm+ for bold statements on larger boxed suites.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What are alternatives to ribbon?<\/strong><br>Wax seals, dried botanical sprigs, belly bands, tissue paper interleaving, twine for rustic suites, or custom sticker seals. Many couples combine several elements for a layered result.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Does ribbon add to postage cost?<\/strong><br>Yes &#8211; weigh one fully assembled invitation before stamping your full run. Request hand-canceling for wax-sealed envelopes to prevent machine damage.<\/p>\n\n<p>Every element you add to your invitation suite tells a story about the care you&#8217;ve put into your wedding. A well-tied bow, a pressed sprig of lavender, a wax seal bearing your initials &#8211; these are small things that guests feel before they even read a word. And that feeling is exactly what makes an invitation worth keeping for years.
