I still have about 120 more ribbons to tie for my menu:

Outside of program (blocked out last names):

Inside:

For those of you curious here's what I did:

Programs
Cover: Program Paper by Gartner bought at Staples
Insert: Plain white piece of paper I folded.
Tassels: I bought them at http://www.trimandtassels.safeshopper.com/ They are the Chainette Tassel w/adjust 9'' loop in Lilac. I paid $70 for 200 of them.
Fonts: Palace Script, Schindler Small Caps and Monotype Corsiva

For the graphic I used MS Clipart. I printed everything in MS Word.
Hint: Use a ruler to fold the paper.

Menu
Outer: Inkjet velum paper (9.99 for a pack of 50 8.5X11 at Staples) I printed it on the best quality so it took a long time to print but came out nice.
Background: White Cardstock. I had a photo of a seahorse and I played around with a few filters in Photoshop and faded it
Ribbon: Michaels
Fonts: Palace Script, Schindler

I cut the cardstock and velum in half using a paper cutter. Next I used a small hand held punch (3/16' round) and cut two holes in the top. Don’t worry if it’s a little uneven- the ribbon will cover it. The hardest part is tying the ribbons- it takes forever!

If anyone wants any of the graphics/templates let me know I will send them over.

Those look awesome. Where did you get the sea horse paper. Did you make those yourself?

I love them. You give me hope. I am also doing a beach theme. Where did you get the paper. You can FM if you don't want to post. Did you make it yourself? Any feedback would be great!!
