Style Wedding Invitations
Wedding invitations can be quite expensive. Simply using your computer and following some basic instructions you can create your own quality wedding stationary and save a substantial amount of money in the process. Even those who consider themselves "crafty" can easily share their own unique invitations with thick paper and paper ornaments.
Step 1: Choose a background that reflects your wedding colors and theme
Start by choosing a document Thick paper with a distinctive color, texture or print. This background paper should complement the theme and colors of your wedding. Make sure the paper weight is at least 65 pounds or more, depending on how hard you want the background paper to be. This document is not printed, you need not worry if feed through your printer. Cut the paper to the size you want your invitation to become. When cutting an 8 1 / 2 "x 11" at the invitation of half of his will be 4 1 / 2 "x 5 1 / 2", which should be suitable for their purposes.
Step 2: Select a lightweight, paper for printing Sheer
This is the paper it is printed the text of the invitation. He said at the top of the background paper. Find a type of transparent paper a solid color. Some options are: tracing paper, vellum, or rice paper.
Measure and cut the paper so it is slightly smaller than the background. This will give your wedding invitation a nice solid border along the edges, creating a more professional look. Once you have your typescript and adjusted to fit correctly (when printing), set the printer to the "economy" or "project" mode. This allows the fewest ink for printing on paper that makes it harder to spot – a good tip for those who use an inkjet printer.
You may want to add a small wedding chart. You can place a graphic in the bottom center of the page or if you have a nice corner graphic, you can embellish the 4 corners the paper. Remember to keep the small graphic to add interest, but not overwhelm the invitation.
Step 3: Replacing the Invitation printed on the bottom
Here are some methods you can use to connect your paper form to the Background
Glue the entire piece towards down. Using paper glue or hot glue small dollops carefully about the corners and edges of the translucent paper and focus on the merits. For added embellishments you may want to put the tape on a small arc, small silk flowers add a pretty label, or perhaps a contrasting paper wrap or band silk ribbon around the invitation.
Attach the documents together at the top. With a small hole punch, make two holes through both documents at the top. Tie the paper together using fine silk ribbons, raffia, small tassels or decorative metal fasteners.
Use a wax seal for false secure your invitation. At the top, be sure to wax your hand, thin paper and partly on the background paper. Using a metal stamp press down in the wax. Once dry, will be held both roles. You may want to dab a little glue between the first documents for additional security. There are several sets of imitation wax seals you can buy in order to do this. If you want to save some money, you can also make your own "wax seal" by using colors of hot wax glue gun, but I would suggest for the first time in the practice of scratch paper so you can get an idea of how much hot glue you need to make a good "seal".
