RSS FeedHow To Make Homemade Wedding Invitations
In today's economy, making your own wedding invitations has become a very favorable option. Almost all of us have experience with home or office printers and have used Microsoft Word or another word processor. And once you've read LCI Paper's The ABCs of Printing at Home , you'll find that mostly likely, you already have the tools and the information and resources you need are available to you at LCI's web site. You can make your own wedding invitations!
To show you how easy and fun it is, I'll walk you through the process of making a wedding invitation. I'll use sample products, invitation wording, and Word templates from LCI's web site. You can do the same by ordering a few samples on our web site and completing the rest of the steps at home.
EnvelopesHere's my first piece of advice. Before you design and print your dream invitation cards, decide on your envelopes. You don't want to be stuck with a great invitation card that doesn't fit into a standard size wedding envelope or inner/outer wedding envelope set. Speaking of wedding envelope choices, now would be a good time to read my article, Wedding Envelopes: Lined, Double, Single - How To Choose? For today's invitation ensemble, I'm going to choose Double Wedding Envelopes . One of LCI's most popular double wedding envelopes are Tiffany size, where the inner envelope measures 8" wide by 5 3/4" high and the outer envelope measures 8 1/4" wide by 6" tall. The dimensions of the inner envelope are 1/4" less than the outer envelope. In the next section, you'll see that the invitation card should also measure 1/4" less than the inner envelope.
Invitation Cards
As I mentioned at the end of the previous section, the invitation card should measure about 1/4" less than the envelope. In this case, since I'm using inner and outer envelopes, the card should measure 1/4" less than the inner envelope, since the card will be placed inside the inner envelope. Since I've chosen Tiffany sized double envelopes where the inner envelope measures 8" wide by 5 3/4" high, I'll look for a card that measures 7 3/4" wide by 5 1/2" high.
