Scrolls

Create programs listing the menu and the day's events and then roll them in scrolls. Attach a stick or twig to the top and bottom and roll from both ends. You can also roll the scroll only from the top, and tie it with ribbon.
Ribbons and Bows
-
Create programs that match the design of the invitations. Pair black and white patterned designs with white and black ribbons or a white and black bow. Use a striped ribbon to compliment a stripe design on the program paper. Use thick gingham ribbons or ribbons with intricate designs for plain paper programs. Punch holes in the top of the invitation. Insert the ribbon through the holes and then tie in the front. Bows can also be sewn or glued in the corners or at the top of a program.
