| Tutorial 5: Easy to
Make Wedding Invitations |
 |
Try these styles for any special event
or announcement. If you would rather not call all your
guests and have them write their own invitation, you might
be interested in making invitations yourself - and make
it memorable.
If you are planning a wedding, you will
want to check out these beautiful
but easy invitations you can make yourself. Something
hand made will set the mood for your entire wedding.
You will first need to choose your envelopes. It would
be a big disappointment to get
your invitation all designed and discover there isn't
an envelope to fit. A square card and envelope can be
very pretty, but will cost extra in postage. One solution
would be to put your square invitation in a rectangular
envelope.
