If you have selected a suitable card, you can still design it. Of course, you can also create your own template or coordinate another invitation on the theme of "wedding".
- First change the text, adapt the names, the date, the time and the location of the celebrations. You can also insert a text, such as a suitable poem, your wedding verse or a personal invitation text.
- To make the invitation even more romantic and personal, add a photo of the bride and groom to your card using the "Insert" menu.
- You can also insert other graphics via the menu, such as rings or hearts. You can also color the background.
- It is best if you design the program and other wedding elements, such as the place cards, in similar colors.
Print out the invitation card for the wedding - so it'll work
When the homemade wedding cards are ready, you can print them out as an invitation.
- For example, print the invitation, cut it in half and then fold the card.
- If you have a double-sided card, you should print only one sheet first. Rotate the sheet so that it is printed from the back. Then release the print for the second page.
- You can put the cards in an envelope and then send them to the guests.
