So far in our beach wedding invitations tutorials, we have made a funky 70s sunset invitation and a fun ocean floor invite, both in Illustrator. Today, we’re making a very simple and traditional invitation using Microsoft Word (you need Vista to be able to do one of the steps).
This is the beach themed wedding invitation [...]
In the previous beach wedding invitation tutorial, we made a fast and easy, 1970s-inspired, very informal invitation. Today, we’re making one with a totally different look which is a little bit more work-intensive, but definitely worth the effort.
As always, if you need to brush up on your Illustrator skills, go through one of my earlier [...]
Who doesn’t like the beach? Good things happen on beaches – parties, vacations, relaxation; all kinds of fun. My best friend got engaged on a beach. The more exotic ones are stunningly gorgeous with their palm trees, white sand and crystal clear, turquoise water.
And for those of us in the northeastern part of the [...]
With the holidays (and soon Valentine’s Day) behind us, I know that there are many of you who are newly engaged (Congratulations!).
Statistics tells us that 2.3 million couples get engaged every year in the US; 19% of all those engagements take place during the month of December and 10% on Valentine’s Day.
With those facts in [...]
This is part 3 in my series of tutorials for those who just got engaged (Congratulations!).
In the two previous tutorials, we created Engagement Announcements using Microsoft Word, and today, we’re making one in Illustrator. You can obviously adapt this to be a Save the Date card, or even Wedding Invitations by making just a few [...]
This is part 2 in our series of DIY projects for those of you who recently got engaged. Just as in the last tutorial, we will be making photo engagement announcements using Microsoft Word (Windows Vista). Our previous one was pink, this one is brown and blue, and we will be using some different techniques [...]
In today’s tutorial, we’re using Microsoft Word to create Save The Date cards. While you can’t do as much with the illustrations in Word as you can in Illustrator, I do realize that not everyone has access to graphics programs, or have time to learn them for just one project.
For those of you who are [...]
This tutorial is based on a Save the Date card we created earlier, so if you missed it and want to give these invitations a try, just hop on over to that post and put that card together first.
As always, if you get stuck, see if you can find help in my Illustrator tips or [...]
This time, I thought we’d expand on our growing Illustrator skills a bit, and first create a Save the Date card, and thenĀ printable wedding invitations using the same theme and color scheme. Remember, you can use the basic steps and designs in any of my Save the Date tutorials as a wedding invitation layout [...]
Today’s Save the Date card is very easy to make, in spite of its intricate design. If you didn’t try my first Save the Date-tutorial, I would suggest at least reading through it before starting this one, just because I describe certain things in more detail there. This post assumes you’ve done that already, or [...]
