Embellishing flat invitations

I like the idea of unique invitations, but the ones I have seen that open up really pretty or have nice ribbons are either really expensive or the design is a bit old fashioned. I found a place that does flat cards with really pretty modern designs that are good for my budget. Is there a way to add embellishments or ribbons etc to somehow dress up an invitation?

Thanks!

I agree...if we see the invite a lot more people will offer advice

you could add rhinestones on the invite, not the rhinestone buckles but individual ones. If you have a monogram on the invite you can put individual rhinestones on the monogram. Many times you'll see they put 3 individual rhinestones, sometimes more or less under the names.

If the invite has more than 1 layer, you can put a ribbon between the layers so this way the front part has a ribbon going across of it, you can even do the ribbon with a rhinestone buckle
