so far in our wedding invitation saga we have:

but wait, there's more!

i realized that it would be a good idea to direct guests once more to our wedding website. i decided the best way to do this would be with a tag that had the website on it. using powerpoint and our signature font i came up with a quick template.

then came time for the ribbon decision. at first I thought about using some twine we had on hand to save myself a trip but decided it was too rustic.

after some serious contemplation i ended up with the second one and purchased one roll or 50 yards. once home i cut the ribbon into 11 inch lengths and had victor thread it through the tags.
