Homemade Bachelorette Invitations
Bachelorette party vs Bridal showers? Who knew there was a
difference? As turns out there is. A bridal shower is apparently for showering
the bride with gifts and love by her friends and family members and often held
in the afternoon at a family members home with food and tea/coffee. On the
other hand, a bachelorette party is more of an evening event at a more risqué
venue (like a bar) The female version of a bucks night I guess. Anywho... just
thought I'd share.

Saucy DIY Corset Invitations
These hot little diy invitations were made for a girls night out in honor of the Bride to be and I think they look great! A simple tri-fold card with eyelets and black satin ribbon tied up like a corset... awesome. The invitation is printed on to white cardstock with a scalloped edge. You can buy some cheap craft scissors for that. See more instructions below.

Instructions for these corset invitations will fit an A2 sized envelope
Materials
-
3/8" round eyelets (x8) (1/8" or 3/16" eyelets will work just as well)
-
eyelet setting tool
-
3/8" hole punch tool from craft store or scrapbook shop
-
Black ribbon - thickness should be 3/4" or at least double the diameter of the eyelets - I like triple the width of the eyelets
-
Cardstock 8 ¼"" x 5 1/2"
-
Card inserts 4" x 5¼"
tip - the Crop-A-Dile tool is a good tool which punches holes and sets your eyelets.
Directions
-
Take your cardstock and score a fold at 2 " and 6 ¼"" along the length of the card
-
Mark a point 1" down from the top left corner of the card. Rule a line from the top left crease down to the point. Cut along this line with a craft knife and a straight edge.
-
Repeat step two for the right hand side.
-
Punch four holes along the side edge of the card 1/2" in from the side. Frist hole should be approx 1/2" from the bottom, 2nd hole 1 5/8", 3rd hole 2 6/8", 4th hole 3 7/8".
-
Repeat for the right side of the card.
-
Create your insert and type or hand write the invitation details on to it. You can decoate the top and bottom edge with decorative scissors or pinking shears.
-
Fold the card and thread the ribbon like you would a corset or shoe laces starting from the bottom. Tie a bow at the top.
-
Slip in the insert and you are done.
