Personalized invitations are simple to create.
Making personalized invitations is easier than ever since the introduction of high-quality personal printers and invitation-making software or programs such as Microsoft Publisher. With these tools it is possible to create invitations that have the same high quality and appearance as invitations created by a print shop. The print options are not the only way to add personal touches to the invitations. It is also possible to add embellishments after printing to make one-of-a-kind, memorable invitations.
Instructions
1. Install an invitation-making software onto your computer or use a program such as Microsoft Publisher. There are some free software options (such as Invitation Nation) and some paid software options (such as Printing Press and Print Master). Some invitation cards also come with software to use to make personalized invitations.
2. Open the program and write the invitation in a basic font and color. Make sure to write in the time, place, type of event and what attire is required. Put any other necessary information in the invitation as well, such as place of registry.
3. Decide if you want to print the invitation onto a photo background, use pictures from the program database or add embellishments later after printing. If you decide to print the invitation onto a photo, scan the photo that you want to use as the background into the computer. Open the photo in the program. Change the font color, size and style so that it is clearly visible on the photo background. A white font usually works well for photos.
4. Choose any clip art or pictures from the database that you want to use on the invitations and arrange them onto the invitation. Load the printer with a test page and print one copy of the invitation. Check for mistakes and changes that you want to make before proceeding.
5. Print all of the invitations necessary plus a few extra. Place the invitations in a safe container. A shoe box works well for this.
6. Add any other personal embellishments such as ribbons, stickers, buttons, flowers or brads. Keep the embellishments appropriate to the theme. For a baby shower invitation, consider adding baby-oriented stickers, a rattle, pacifier buttons or baby-themed ribbons. You can add embellishments to the envelopes as well.
