I’ve printed it out here on bright white card and I think it looks great. For a slightly more traditional look to your homemade wedding invitations, you could try ivory or cream card.
This invite is created in Microsoft Word, so all you need to do is change the wording and print it out. Simple! Your only cost is the card and ink.
Level of ease: Really easy
Cost: Around £15 ($30) for 50 invitations
What you’ll need:
- White card cut to A5
- Inkjet printer
With this invitation you literally amend the wording and print it out on your inkjet printer at home. The template comes in A5 (14.8cm x 21.0cm) and is intended to be printed out on one side of A5 – this is not for card blanks.
I’d recommend printing out on ‘smooth’ bright white card as this will give the best finish. You could also try ivory or cream for a softer look though. Try to use a heavy weight card if possible – the maximum that will go through your printer.
For the cheapest solution, print these on your home computer. If you don’t want to use all your ink up, then print out one on normal paper, and get a copy shop to print out or copy the invites on to your chosen card. They’ll also be able to trim them to size (if necessary) and give a professional finish (at a cost though).
Warning!
This invitation uses a couple of special fonts. The first font is Constantia which you should have on your home computer. The second font is Gabrielle, which you’ll need to download in order to see the text. You can download Gabrielle for free here.
If you don’t know how to add a font to your computer, then follow these instructions (for Windows users only).
These wedding invitations have been created in Microsoft Word 97-2003, so you’ll need this to read and amend the invite.
With these homemade wedding invitations there’s no need for a separate insert. The important details are printed on the invite. You can however include details about accommodation, transport, maps etc in the envelope with the invite.
