I bought the print your own wedding invites from walmart, a plain simple card. I did about 60 of them last night at about 9:30pm and now at about 6:30 in the morning they still smudge. I printed them with an HP laserjet printer.

it sounds like your ink and paper are not compatible so the answer is no, it will never stop smudging.

did you by chance get a photo type card stock, because that’s what it sound like.

you are going to have to go to best buy or somewhere that has computer geeks or gurus and get them to tell you what kind of card stock will work.

also, check to see if you have a new ink cartridge or one that has been refilled. sometimes those refills do not work properly and will smear when you use them. get a new ink cartridge.

I am getting married next fall and I own a cricut expression. I wanted to try and make some sample invitations and I was wanting some ideas. I need to know what cartridge to use and the layout of some card ideas. Anything anyone can do for me would be so greatly appriciated.

I would try Sure Cuts A Lot software. I bought a copy and I don’t even use my cartridges anymore. With SCAL you can use any font you have on your computer. Which means that if you find a font on Dafont.com or some other free site you can download it and cut it on your Cricut. That alone is worth the price. But now they have a new version that cuts any sort of shape you have as well. It use to be only SVG files but now you can use any sort of shape you have on your computer.

you know…
the invitation, rsvp cards…

does the main dish choices go in there (beef, chicken, vegetarian)?

In order of importance ….

The main thing is the invitation itself. Obviously you can’t do without it.

The vast majority of people also order RSVP cards (or response cards). They come with a pre-addressed return envelope. You should put a stamp on it for your guests. The RSVP card can contain menu choices. Make sure to include the reply-by date.

Reception cards are useful in case your reception is not at the same location as your ceremony and it would be too much information to fit on the invitation.

Direction cards or map cards (pretty self explanatory).

Thank you cards. Usually, you can purchase thank you cards that match your invitation.

Further stationery (budget depending of course): menu cards, place cards, save the dates

I can not find the exact type color quality etc. in those big wear house websites. I have seen the custom invites and I’m afraid to make an appointment because of the cost. I’m hoping it will be $800 or less for 50 invites RSVP menus place cards and table tents. NO Programs and NO save the dates. Am I delusional? I’m from California which is probably more expensive.

I actually made my wedding invitations from scratch. I used blank cards and envelopes and bought scrapbooking paper, dried leaves, ribbons and dried rose buds to design them with.

Using Word? Step by step please!

Or is there a good programme that you recommend I use instead?

If you go to Target, Wal-Mart or even to a local craft store, you can find VERY affordable kits that allow you to create and print your own invitations. They come complete with the invitation paper, envelopes and response cards. Look for these kits in the stationary sections.

i personally recommned bettyweddinginvites. i’ve done so many different invitations from them for different events and weddings i had to plan for those couldn’t afford a professional but want beautiful invitations. they have many styles. dont laugh walmart has some great stuff, and other stores like office max. another store i reccommend is Micheals. they are wedding heaven i call it there. it’s a craft store and have so many wedding stuff there from invitations to a tiara.

We are doing our own wedding invitations.
But I don’t know what the standard font size is for invitations?
If anyone knows I would greatly appreciate it ?
Thanks

Here’s an easy way to figure it out . . draw an outline of the card on computer paper and then put your invitation information in the computer, and then print it out on the sheet of paper. This will give you the opportunity to see what fits, and if the font is too large or too small.

I am having a beach wedding. I will only need about 50 invitations and I would really like to print them myself! Anyone know of any good paper, templates, graphics? I am looking to save money by doing this, so any help at all will be greatly appreciated!

There are many web sites that offer free wedding inviation templates. Do you have Adobe Photoshop or some other design software? Having something like that will definately aid you in making your invitaitons special, unique and at a fraction of the cost.

Also check out your local printing stores. Most of them sell specialty printing paper that comes in an assortment of colors, paterns, and textures.
