This example has been printed out on cream card stock, however you can use any colour card you like. So if you prefer a light brown, white or demin blue, then simply match it to your theme. The colours are also customisable, so if you do change the colour of the card, think about changing the colour of the font too.
This invite is created in Microsoft Word, so all you need to do is change the wording to match your wedding day details and print it out. Simple! Your only cost is the card and ink.
Level of ease: Really easy
Cost: Around £15 ($25) for 50 invitations
What you’ll need:
- Card cut to size
- Inkjet printer (or use a copy shop)
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) or 5 1/2 x 8 inches and there's a matching thank you card too.
I’d recommend printing it out on ‘smooth’ card as this will give the best finish. Try to use a heavy weight card if possible, ideally 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 a good quality 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!
In order to create this invitation, I've used a couple of special fonts. The text font is Oklahoma which is not usually available on your home computer. So, to edit the text (and see it when you open the document), you'll need to download it. You can download it for FREE from Dafont.com.
The illustration is a dingbat, which behaves like a special font. Like the font above, you'll need to download it in order to see and print the invitation out. The dingbat is called Yeehaw and is of course free for your personal use too.
If you don’t know how to add a font to your computer, then follow these instructions (for Windows users only). Dingbats can be added in exactly the same way as a font.
These wedding invitations have been created in Microsoft Word 97-2003, so you’ll need this package to read and amend the invite.
There's no need for a separate insert with this western wedding invitation. All the information is contained in the main body of text, however, you could include maps, details about accommodation and transport in the envelope with the invite too.
