Candle Placecard Dilemma

Oh, FH and I are attempting this with only two more weekends before our wedding.

For those of you who are using the votives from Michaels...help me out!

How on earth do you cut this vellum so it lines up right? Each votive is slightly different and I dont know what to do. Also, we bought vellum taqe, but is double sided tape better?

HELP HELP HELP, before FH kills me! LOL

I know Stef said double sided tape is better, this is what I bought.

As for cutting yes they are all different shapes. You have to cut each one to fit.

Christy read your FM

I did a trial one with double sided tape- the tape showed through. It did not look right.

Check out this link about gluing vellum that I found... hope it helps How to Glue Vellum

Edited: Check out the Vellum Tape too.Vellum Tape

I liked the candle placecards as well so i printed out the how-to and started looking for supplies- but now they seem hard... I might try the martha stewart chairs instead.

Edited: what kind of vellum did you use?

Well Jenn,
I realized I have no patience for this task, and I am horrible at it. So FH is making them all on his own. HE IS SO SWEET!
He is much better at it than me, and offered to take the task off my hands. I LOVE HIM!
