Ribbon Wording
March 1st, 2007 @ 5:59 pm by Mrs. Kiwi
Thanks to Miss Plum and her 20% off ribbon notice, I’m ordering ribbon for our favor boxes. We plan on getting the same width as Miss Plum (5/8″ right?), but ours will be satin.
I plan on using the scarlet, the antique gold, and the orange. Hopefully the orange isn’t too “orange.” The imprint colors for the orange will be oak brown, for the gold it will be orange, and the scarlet will be metallic gold. Hopefully those all work out okay! What do you think?
Now, I’m stumped on the wording. I’d really like to incorporate the names and date, but should I add something else?
I’m thinking of:
kiwi & m.kiwi 11.3.2007- thank you!
thank you for coming! kiwi & m.kiwi 11.3.2007
thanks! kiwi & m.kiwi 11.3.2007
a gift from kiwi & m.kiwi 11.3.2007
Are there any other ideas? What would you use?

I like “a gift from ~~” too! but can you fit that many characters?? maybe do it without the date?
and damn all you people, now iiiii want personalized ribbon toooooo!!!!! 
I like your first and fourth options. But wsukarebear’s suggestion of using a short saying would be nice, too.. and perhaps a bit more personal. You could use a short song lyric or phrase that relates to the wedding theme or to you as a couple. “love is sweet” is really cute, especially if the box contains something like candy.
We considered Nov. 3 for our wedding, but we ended up picking Nov. 10 It’s nice to know that someone is on the same time schedule.
I ought to apply to blog… I check this site like it’s my job!
… and apparently I rhyme!
for the date, i like when people do ‘established 11.03.2007′ it kind of makes it into a sentence and a joke
Thank you from kiwi and m.kiwi! 11/03/07
I like the “a gift from…” it’s cuter. =)
Maybe…
“Thanks for coming! kiwi and m.kiwi 11/03/07″
or
“Thanks for sharing our happiness! kiwi and m.kiwi 11/03/07″
I don’t know what the character restrictions are but I like “Thanks…” more than “A gift from…” because it shows your appreciation more, rather than “you came to our wedding and I’m giving this gift to you”.
Let me just say that I had no intention of getting personalized ribbon until today when I saw Miss Plum’s post! Hear: Bahhh! But truly, it is so cute. So, we are giving tree growing kits (www.growatree.com) so I am entertaining the idea of “love grows 9.22.07″ but we are also attempting to pull off a lovebirds theme so now I’m thinking “birds of a feather: katherine and jesse” that looks corney now that i’ve written it out. I really liked the suggestion est. 9.22.07. I’ve never seen that, it’s cute.
Wow guys!! These are allllll great choices! I’m loving “love is sweet” and the “est.” I also like the gift ones..
Kattail- I think Love grows is AWESOME!!
Daffodil: I love our date!! November brides rock!!
lol
on my different ribbons, I ordered:
with love, thuy & eddy (for favors)
and
one with just our names written out (not sure yet)
oh yeah we also did the “love is sweet! thuy & eddy” for our favors - we’re giving cupcakes in a clear box
Can you tell me where that picture is from? I love the box!! It will be great for favors.
Rosie, yeah, the box is from http://www.namemaker.com, where they also sell the ribbons! I love it there!!
[...] need more ribbon? Well, apparently Mr. Kiwi is a closet color freak. Yes, when I bought the ribbon previously, I had assumed the red would go. You know what happens when you assume… and Mr. Kiwi pointed [...]

We have a jumbo mini-dachshund (seriously, he's huuuuge), and we're planning an autumn themed wedding on a shoestring, paid for by ourselves. The wedding date is my late grandma's birthday, I needed her there somehow, and that seemed like the best way for us. I can't believe I'm a Bee! I couldn't be more proud!
