Barrettes DIY: Wine Charms and Alphabet Bracelets

I'm currently tackling our wine charms. An easy enough project to get my feet wet since I'm not a super-crafty bee, but I'm running into a roadblock. In my mind I would personalize little satin bows and hang them from wire fastened around a wine glass. But lo and behold, I can't figure out a way to write on satin without the ink bleeding. Any ideas, hive??



In the meantime, I'll be printing the actual guest name on a 1" name tag and seeing if that looks cute hanging from the charm. The purple bows will be for the ladies; men will have grey satin tied in more of a knot.


I also made little bracelets for my flowergirls. This is way more fun! I made one for myself and I'm making one for Mrs. Sushi for when we meet-up. 

Any ideas for my wine charms? Sharpie pen bleeds as does any other ink pen I tried. I'm sure I could have ordered personalized bows, but for 100+ guests with all different names, I'm looking for a cheaper solution.
