That is beautiful ribbon! It does seem expensive. Maybe you could just use it for family member’s gifts, gift to your FI, etc. Do you mind sharing where you found it? Thanks!

Actually, the price may be reasonable, depending on the width of the ribbon and whether it’s single- or double-faced… Places like MJ Trimming (http://www.mjtrim.com/catalog/family.aspx?family=09:02) sell satin ribbons from $0.49 to $4.98 per yard!

http://www.romanticflowers.com has midori ribbon for about the same price as on ebay. when you think about it, though, 27 yards is a lot (but when tying favor boxes it does add up quickly…). I’m in the same boat you are. Have you thought about a cheaper, grosgrain ribbon with no bow and a cute sticker that says je’taime or merci, etc?

i searched for ‘em too. ebay was the cheapest at like 43 dollars, but i saw it up to 56 dollars at another shop. ebay might be your best bet.

And, OMG–Romantic Flowers has ribbon with “Love is in the Air” printed on it, but they seem to be out of it!! Ack! That’s our first dance song! I must have that ribbon…!

(OK, that’s *way* too many exclamation points.)

i bought some “meant to bee” midori ribbon from romantic flowers. it was very little and very pricey, and very cute! but i ended up not using it!

This isn’t necessarily less expensive (and I’ve never used them before or anything), but you get to write your own message!

How about buying satin ribbon and finding a rubber stamp with Merci or some language on it, and DIY-ing it?

OK, they do have some of the “Love is in the Air” ribbon left! But…what should I do with it? It’s expensive, so I don’t want to buy too much of it, and they don’t have much left anyway. We’re not doing favors, we’re doing a donation. To tie around the petal cones? Seems like too expensive ribbon for that. Ideas? I was thinking of bows on the place cards, but you probably wouldn’t be able to read it, and, again, not enough ribbon. Not enough to bind the programs, either, as I need to make 85 of them.
