here is how mine came out, not finished and only a trial (nothing is permanent yet)

i tried the painting thing, and it wasnt happening, i was going to trace the letters but i couldnt see through, so i tried this, what do you think.

You could use the same kind of ballchain stuff like the candles and put it around the words (in a rectangle or an oval). Or use a coordinating color of ribbon (black, white, silver, dark blue - I don't really know your wedding colors).

ok, lets see, i would do the white paper bigger (i'm presuming your planning on attaching it to the blue paper) so the border isn't quite as big, maybe the same on the top and 1/2 as much border on the sides and bottom. I like how the display one has different sized font. then on the top (larger border) do some ribbon, i saw something cool in a DIY book, but its hard to explain- you make little slits, every 1/2-1" vertical and weave the ribbon (maybe organza) through and leave it loose.

BTW- I'm stealing the saying for my wishing thing I'm doing for our guest book

Do you mean something round the edge like this...

This is all I could find....obviously the thickness of the ribbon, type of ribbon, colour etc is up to you.

wow thanks guys thats a really good idea. ill have to play with it this week and see what i can come up with. i planned on writing right on the blue, but i just couldnt figure out how. my handwriting isnt that great and my stencils are tiny.

what if i have moh (i love her handwriting) write directly on the blue would that be better?
