1. Mini Tag Cards with Blooms + Silk Ribbon

2. Scalloped Menus with Integrated Place Card
These playful, retro-inspired designs are full of personality! Each guest’s name is tucked into a curved heading, wrapping around sweet greetings like “oh hello” or “bon appétit.” The scalloped edges add a feminine, slightly nostalgic feel that works beautifully with soft linens and candlelight.
Why we love it: The circular text layout feels fresh and fun, while still being romantic and refined.
💡 Belle Measure Tip: Add a subtle texture to the paper stock to amplify the tactile magic.
