I bought some nice wedding invitations, and already have them all printed out. I would like to put a personal touch on it and was wondering if anyone had any ideas. Such as using ribbons, colored cardstock paper, etc.
The invitations are size 8" x 5". Right now I have dark blue cardstock tri-folded, so that the invitation is centered in the middle and the cardstock is folded from both left and right sides over the front. Then I have a ribbon tying it. The only problem is, that there's a 1/4" gap inbetween where the paper meets and it doesn't look good. Sorry, it's hard to explain!!
Does anyone have ideas? Thanks!

Do you want to gap to be covered?
If so, how about a ribbon, lace of strip of different paper that is a little bigger than the gap glued to one edge?
On dark blue I would go for a light colour to set it off, like spider-wed origami paper in white, or a cream or light blue ribbon. Or Dark blue just one shade darker or lighter than the card itself.
If you use ribbon or light paper, you might need to stiffen it with starch or glue.
Do that before gluing it on.
If you want to leave the gap open, you can make a small decoration in the colour of the inside of the paper or the colour of the text and glue that to the outside of the card, like the right hand corner.
Or use the same ribbon as the one you use for tying it closed for a decoration.

They sell little golden wedding rings. You can tie them up with your ribbons. We did that with our invitations. We intertwined them with the ribbon at the top of our invitations and it looked really cute. You can get a bag of 100 for like $5.00. At least that is how much they were 10 years ago. I hope this helps. Congratulations on your big day.
