Thanks! Yes that was the fun part. We just sat on our front porch with a long candle lighter, rolled each invitation long way (letters facing out) and gently burned the ends (Top and bottom). Then unrolled and re-rolled the short way to do the sides. We found by doing this we were able to see where we were burning so as not to burn any letters off. lol It also helped to not get any ashes on the invitation itself. We used parchment paper to get that old feel and let me tell you a single sheet of parchment will burn out of hand very quickly if you let it.
