Printable Invitations
With the high costs of wedding these days, many couples look to save money by creating printable invitations themselves. With enough planning and thoughtfulness, you can create your own printable invitations, and save yourselves a bundle in the process.
Free printable invitations can be found all over the Internet, or you can even design your own. But, can you make them look good? From the paper you use to the quality of printing, it all affects the final printed product.
So, what are the tricks and tips that can take a ink-jet printed wedding invitation from shoddy to professional? To find out, keep reading and you’ll learn exactly what is involved in turning free printable invitations into classic, professional-looking masterpieces.
Buy a High-Quality Paper Stock For Your Printable Invitations
When you go to print out your wedding invitations, you’re not going to reach for a no-name package of copier paper. Instead, you want to invest in a heavy card stock that has texture, weight and an expensive feel. Aim for at least an 80lb card stock.
Buy a few extra blank invitations; you will make a few mistakes during the learning curve of printing your own printable invitations. When buying card stock, you can purchase pre-cut card stock which is already laser cut into a classic invitation shape.
Print With a Dependable Printer
The last thing you want is for your home-printed wedding invitations to be marred by streaks and running lines of ink. Do a few test runs to make sure the printable invitations look professional, watch to make sure the printing is aligned straight on the invitation.
Add an Embellishment
While sometimes a simple piece of white card stock with a well-worded and well-placed message can make a strong and classic impact, you may want to dress your wedding invitations up with a few embellishments.
Try adding a small bow at the top, or affixing a small charm or die-cut paper charm (these can often be found at scrapbooking stores). A style that’s become increasingly popular is to print your wedding invitations on vellum paper, which is see-through and creates a soft, ghosted effect.
Pick a Font That’s Clear
While many free printable invitations are great – offering wording suggestions, pre-formatted layouts and more – you need to be careful with the font selection. Look for an invitation that has a clear and easy-to-read font. Remember, a script font may look pretty and classic, but it could be a nightmare to decipher. Choose a font that is easy to read and has a formal look to make your printable invitations look professional.
