1. do one invite and measure how much you will need for each invite...

2. divide how much you will need for each invite by the amount you have...

ex, incase you dont understand what i mean... if you need 7 inches for each invite and have 7000 inches... it will give you the number of invites you can do...

oh ibve got the math part down, its more a question as to how much to use.... a bigger bow may be prettier, but how big is too big??

i guess i can go backwards and figure out the most i can use, and go from there.....

such a process. NEXT TIME, them come made
