Make invitation cards for baptism yourself - how it works
Your own invitation cards for a baptism should be particularly beautiful - it usually only helps to do it yourself. We show how you can create invitation cards according to your ideas using simple means.
Make invitation cards for baptism yourself: with these programs it works
Complex software like Photoshop is not necessary: You can also create great invitation cards with Word or a simple layout program:
- In Word, click File> New and enter Formal Invitation. Then choose one of the ready-made invitations.
- Now you have to adapt the invitation: Via "Insert"> "Online graphics" you will find numerous graphics and images for the keyword "Baptism", which you can insert into the word document with one click.
- Next, add all the texts (see the following paragraph) and then click on "File"> "Export"> "Create PDF document".
If you want to work with background photos and creative fonts, you should use layout software such as InDesign or QuarkXpress (30 days free).
- The advantage: You can position pictures and fonts precisely and convert them into curves for printing. This enables the print shop to print the invitations correctly later.
- However, if you want elaborate image effects in the invitation, you cannot avoid Adobe Photoshop.
That shouldn't be missing on the invitation to baptism
Here you will find tips and tricks for must-haves on the invitation cards:
- Texts: baptism, name and location of the church, date and time of baptism, name of the child. Optional: names of godparents and pastors.
- Images and graphics: Images on baptism are available on this website, and you can also access royalty-free images here.
- If you have the cards printed by a professional print shop, you should make sure that the cards have at least 300 DPI - otherwise the invitation is a bit pixelated.
- We recommend double-sided color printing (4/4) with at least 100 grams of paper. That looks classy and leads to a great result.
