How does this "template" idea work? (back to top)
It's a very simple process!
First you begin by choosing the invitation design that appeals to you. Once you've purchased the design that you chose, you will be emailed a package (the email will be received within 24 - 48 business hours from your purchase time) of all the templates which you can alter. For each template, you will have the ability to change the text size, text style, text color and the font itself. Once all your changes are done, you will have a unique and custom invitation package that is reflective of the look and feel of your wedding.
The package includes:
- Invitation
- Menu
- RSVP
- Thank You Card
- Place Card
- Table Number
Once you've edited the all the text, you're ready to print!

In other words, this is a DIY (do-it-yourself) process? (back to top)
Exactly! Using an invitation template package is a perfect way to have a fun, simple, creative and unique way of making custom invitations according to the look and feel of your wedding. The DIY process gives you complete control and freedom to make your invitations in your own home, at your own pace.
Will it still look professional with a home printer? (back to top)
You'd be surprised at the quality achieved by home printers nowadays. If you have a color printer, you will be fine. If your printer is less than 5 years old, or if your printer is a photo printer, you will have very clear printouts.
Our template designs are professionally created so that even a home-printed invitation looks great. One important tip for a professional looking invitation: buy high quality paper. If you have ever seen a professional invitation, you'll notice the paper is thick and sometimes even slightly textured, which is what gives it its professionalism. The best part of it all is that thick artistic paper can be purchased at art supply stores and stationary stores.
What will I need apart from the template designs? (back to top)
Apart from the template designs that are emailed once purchased, the following list of items will be needed to complete the invitations:
- Home color printer
- Envelopes
- Paper
- Stamps (if you plan to mail the invitations)
- Cutting tool (scissors, utility knife, paper cutter, etc.)
Finally, you need the most important tool of all, the Adobe Reader program. Click on the image below to get the latest version.
Why would I purchase invitation templates? (back to top)
The main reason is clearly to save money. Professionally-made invitations can easily cost anywhere from $4 - $10 per invitation, sometimes even more. Suppose you need 50 invitations at a 5$ price each, it will cost you 250$ just on invitations!
Furthermore, when you have your own designs to edit, it gives you more control on how the text will look, all in the convenience of your own home. Therefore you eliminate the need of making appointments with invitation specialists, then running around to find the best price. That is the beauty of the do-it-yourself process (DIY).
I'm not much of a computer person, is it easy to edit the package? (back to top)
Don't worry, it's not hard at all. A detailed tutorial is provided with the package to help you get understand how to use the Adobe Reader program. Even if you've never used the software, the tutorial provides screenshots and a step-by-step process to help you make your changes to the package.
How can I pay? (back to top)
We accept payment through PayPal, a widely used payment system. Even if you don't have an account, don't worry because you don't need to make one. Paypal is a very secure payment system based on credit card transactions.
