Make Thank You Cards for Wedding Guests

Materials and tools:

transparent flat bags (to fit the card)
4"x6" folded card
3"x5" flat card
8" piece of tape
Pewter charm (meaningful to the bride and groom)
hole punch (small diameter)
glue stick

Directions:

1. Print the bride and groom's initial at the bottom of a 3"x5" card.

2. Print or handwrite a thank you message inside a 4"x6" folded card. It would also be appropriate to include a note about the meaning of the charm:for an Irish wedding, for example, one might choose a 4-leaf clover, or for a winery wedding, a charm with a small bunch of grapes could hold a lot of appeal. .

3. Center the card flat on the front flap of the folded card. Punch 2 holes approximately 1/4" apart and 1/2" down from the top, through the flat card and the front flap of the folded card. You can use traditional round hole punches or punch once with a "ribbon lace" punch that provides 2 slots in the card.

4. Thread the ribbon through the holes, tying the smaller card to the larger card, and tie a charm. Trim the ends of the ribbon.

5. Slide the card into a clear flap envelope and seal the back.
