I'm trying something new and I'm sending the bridal invitations for the bride. What labels do you use to type the information on? Does anyone have a sample? I'm afraid to write the info on the invitation because my hand shakes when I write sometimes. I want them to look professional.
 
If you are going to print them off the computer I would just make the whole invitations from scratch. I personally do not think that putting labels with the info on an already mde invitations look professional. But then that is just my opinion.

I will look to see if I have one on my computer. I have done them before but it may not be on this computer.

The bride likes the invites that I got from the supply order form. I'm not too thrilled with the ones on consultant's corner.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of paper should I use for my bridal invitations?

For a professional look, choose high-quality cardstock that is at least 80 lb. weight. Consider using textured or linen finishes for added elegance. Ensure the paper is compatible with your printer if you're printing at home.

How can I choose a suitable font for my invitations?

Select fonts that are easy to read and match the theme of your wedding. A combination of a decorative font for headings and a simple serif or sans-serif font for the body text can create a balanced and professional appearance.

Should I include any embellishments on my invitations?

Yes, subtle embellishments like foil stamping, embossing, or a ribbon can enhance the professional look of your invitations. However, keep it simple to avoid overwhelming the design. A few tasteful details can make a significant impact.

What information should I include on my bridal invitations?

Your invitations should include the names of the couple, the date and time of the wedding, the venue address, and RSVP details. You may also want to add a wedding website link for additional information.

How can I ensure my invitations are printed correctly?

Before printing, always do a test print on plain paper to check alignment and colors. If using a professional printing service, provide them with a high-resolution PDF file and confirm the proof before the final print run to ensure everything looks perfect.
