AboutGary & Teri Expertise My main specialties are invitations, catering, and banquet locations or in general, wedding receptions. Started as a family business over 75 years ago I now own and operate a catering & banquet facility for over 30 years and have catered small cookout events to large formal ones with everything in between. I even had an event that was attended by the President of the United States. I have been involved with over three thousand weddings and have been told that I have seen and done it all. I must reply almost, because something new always pops up.
Experience I have preformed almost every service needed at a reception from invitations, hosting and catering the event to photographing, dj and honeymoon plans with the latter being special circumstances. I have worked and hosted weddings up to 750 guest and other functions up to two thousand. With well over 30 years experiance of consulting with brides I have seen much of what works and does not.
I have also been involved with many business and orginizational functions and also have been listed in "Who's Who" business and executive edition.
Question I am making luminary bags for my daughters wedding. The design is their monogram. I am going to put this on a vellum oval that I will glue to the inside of the bag and then cut out the outside of the bag in order to see the vellum with the initials. Hopefully I explained this correctly. I want the monogram to be soft looking rather than bold. My question is - what instrument or ink (?) can I use on the vellum to give it a soft effect? I have plenty of markers, etc, but I thought this would look too bold. Any ideas? Can I scratch something into vellum? I have never worked with it before. Thank You very much - Linda In NC
Answer Hi Linda, I believe your question is more suited for a graphic artist as that is what they do. Personally I think writing in the inside so the vellum softens it or use a program like photoshop to get your effect.
I hope this is what you are looking for but I really reccomend for you to ask a graphic artist for real details.
