Ideas and Tips

WHERE DO I START ?

WHAT COLOUR COMBINATION ?

You may choose the colour of your invitations to match

  • the colour of the bridesmaid dresses or,
  • the wedding flowers,
  • the reception colours
  • themes i.e.blues and yellow for a beach wedding or natural colours for a country wedding, and so forth
  • or simply because it is your favouite colour.

DECIDING ON SHAPE!! HERE ARE JUST A FEW.

1. A4 folded into three.


210 x 297mm
To score, use a scoring tool, or the end of a sharp scissor and a ruler to give you a nice even crease for folding.
TIP 1: Print your invitation on a blank A4 page first and print. Then fold and check the folds do not go through the wording on your invitation
TIP 2: When folded, check that you invitation will fit into a standard DL envelope Size: 220 x 110mm
2a. Square Card. Folds to 150 x 150mm


Cut a square card from an A4 sheet and use the remainder. 		You can either buy blank square cards in white, cream and black or make them from an A4 sheet of card yourself.
TIP: If you make them from an A4 card yourself, use the remaineder card for RSVPS or placecards.
2b. Square Card with cut out.

Again, square card with square cutouts are available at The Paper Place in cream, white and black, or make them out of any coloured card.
3. C5 Card = Half of A4

 Cut A4 card in half, and mount a samller piece of paper on with your wording. This creates an effective border. Join the two pieces of paper with a paper fasterner, or ribbon, seal, wooden heart etc.
TIP: Paper fasteners are now available in silver and gold star shape, and heart shape.
4.

 Score to fold. Make slots for the ribbon to tie through.

Throughout our site you will see variations on these styles.

WORDING

At The Paper Place we have samples of invitations with wording.
If you see a phrase that you like, the staff are happy to photocopy the wording for you.

NUMBERS

Remember when planning how many invitations, placecards and order of service you have to do, many guests are coupled.
For example: You may have a 100 people coming so you may do
50 invitations for couples ( one per couple )
10 invitations for single people
5 extras in case of mistakes or last minute invites.
As a rough guide you would need 65 sheets of each paper to make enough invitations for 100 people.

The number of sheets you need also varies depending on type of invitation you are making. For example you may get three invitations to an A4 sheet is you are doing them in thirds. Therefore 65 divided by 3 = approx 22 sheets. *Remember you will still need 65 envelopes

Example 2, if you do your invitation in C5 (1/2 of A4) you would need approximately 35 sheets. *However remember you will still need 65 envelopes.

If you already know what colour combination you want and the shape of the invitation, then you're half way there. The design layout of your invitation is the hardest part of your wedding stationary. Once this has been designed everything else generally flows from this design to your order of service books, placecard, thankyous, etc. At The Paper Place we have many samples and designs for you to look at to spark your imagination.

NEXT STEP

Buy a couple of paper samples to make up some prototypes to show your partner. This will also show you exactly how the invitation will turn out and the process involved. This hopefully means you will have tested the printer or photocopier you are going to use and that it works on the paper you have chosen.

ENVELOPE SIZES

DL = 220 x 110 mm
C5 = 162 x 229 mm
Square envelopes either 160 x 160 mm
or 130 x 130 mm
RSVP (11B ) 89 x 140 mm
C6 = 115 x 162 mm

Remember

  • Plaster hearts and wax are likely to break in the mail. Always have invitations `Franked' at the counter at the Post Office

  • It's always wise to make a sample invitation first

  • Computer printers vary so make sure the paper you choose prints according to your expectations before purchasing in bulk

  • Glue sticks will be perfect for sticking most papers together, but you will need craft glue for ribbons, hearts, wooden shapes etc

  • When with trace papers, try to avoid glueing trace to Dark backing papers. Consider using:
    1. A ribbon to tie the trace on
    2. Small paper fasteners
    3. or place a wooden shape, sticker or bow over the top to hide the glue

     

  • When folding card, it is best to score it first. You can score with a butter knife turned upside down ( using the point) and a ruler. This gives a crease to easily fold the card and get a nice, even, clean fold

  • When printing your own placecards from an A4 sheet.
    You can get 6 x (10cm x 10.5cm) then score in half.

  • Most trace papers have a shiny side and a matt non shiny side.
    It is usually preferrable to print on the non shiny side.

    NB: Once again, to hand write names use the non shiny side and test the paper first.

  • Always make an invitation to fit a standard envelope, otherwise you may have to consider making your own envelopes.

    Standard envelopes are C6, DL, 11B.
    C5
    130x130 square
    155 x 155 square
