These hot little diy invitations were made for a girls night out in honor of the Bride to be and I think they look great! A simple tri-fold card with eyelets and black satin ribbon tied up like a corset... awesome. The invitation is printed on to white cardstock with a scalloped edge. You can buy some cheap craft scissors for that. See more instructions below.

7. Fold the card and thread the ribbon like you would a corset or shoe laces starting from the bottom. Tie a bow at the top.
8.Slip in the insert and you are done.
