BEFORE THE PARTY

Invitations need to be sent out to tell everyone about your celebration, so to set your invitations apart, why not add some beads! Beads can either be sewn or glued onto invitations; however there are drawbacks to both methods. Sewing beads onto paper leaves tell-tale holes from the needle, but this can be minimised by using clusters of beads threaded through the one hole. Glue can leave sticky marks or discolour paper, especially if it’s thin or has a fabric content to it; a spot test on a small sample piece of paper is the best way to find the right glue for the job, and if you use a toothpick to apply the glue, you’re less likely to have unwanted glue marks. If your celebration has the need for matching menus or programmes, then decorating them in a complementary way will tie it all together.
