What program to use for designing wedding invites?
June 7, 2010
I am looking for a program to use so I can make my wedding invites myself so save a little money. I am wanting to do a tri fold invitation with pictures of my fiance and I with black and white design of some sort. Any info would be so greatly appreciated.
Thanks
ive seen invites made with word and even power point.
There is a power point tutorial to make invitations here – scroll down a little

gimp is another program that would be handy and is free but comes with a bit of a learning curve.
photo shop elements is another one that is cheap – it often comes bundled on sony laptops so if you know anyone who has a sony laptop ask them if you can use it. – then if you do get to use it you can make use of all the free photoshop brushes out there

If you are hoping to save money, a program like Microsoft Publisher would work, since they have brochure templates that you could quite easily customize to fit your needs-and then you could either print them yourself on high-quality paper, or send it to Kinko’s to be printed on nice paper there. For non-PC folks (like myself), and you are savvy, you could use any Adobe software-InDesign would work brilliantly, since you’d get a lot of control (Given that you know the measurements you want the tri-fold to be).

I did mine in photoshop, but I’m a graphic designer, so I don’t know if you would know how to use it. I would suggest using vista print though, they have tons of designs for super cheap. If you don’t think it’s enough, then buy a pocketfold and mount it inside and tie it closed with a ribbon… that’ll spruce it up a bunch.
