Holiday Wedding Save the Date How to conceptualize and design the Festive Holiday Wedding Save the Date Green and red are colors everyone can associate with the holiday season. So why not get festive and use those colors in your wedding? My goal for this set was to showcase each of the dazzling holiday colors - so I used a different color for each of the pieces of the set. The only piece that I used all of the colors together was the invitation, and I did that because it is the central piece that ties the set together. This set looks great and would be perfect for anyone planning their wedding around the festivity of the holiday season. The Save the Date This Holiday Wedding Save the Date really showcases the brilliant red color and striking snowflake image. I kept all of the text in white so that it pops out from the red and kept the text to the least amount of words that I could. |

Personalize and Print the Holiday Colors Wedding Invitation What's Needed • 8.5" x 11" paper size • 60 to 120 pound card stock • White or bright white paper NOTE: Be sure to check with your paper supplier that your paper is inkjet-compatible (or laser-compatible if that's what you're using ) Final Invitation Dimensions: 4.5" x 4.5" Colors Suggestions: Since this winter wedding set is based on the holiday colors, I would defiantly recommend sticking with reds, greens, blues and whites. You can either use all of the colors together, or use different shades of a certain color. Whichever way you choose, you just can't go wrong. Font used: Garamond and Garamond Italic Now that you've decided on this layout, its time to personalize it! Here's what you need to do:
Members of Wedding Clipart will find the template pictured in this set once they login. All templates are divided by theme, and it will be easy to locate the winter theme and this exact template using the thumbnail image. Once you find it, simply download it to your hard drive. All Wedding Clipart templates are in Microsoft Word format. Double click the template and it will open automatically in MS Word. You'll see that all the text is in its own textbox, so you can edit the text and move it to where you want very easily. Try typing additional words and phrases and you'll get the hang of it immediately. You can also change the font, add bold or italicized text if you wish. Swap out or edit graphics used in the template. We've designed the template layout and graphics so that they are ready to print as-is. But perhaps you've found additional images in the Wedding Clipart collection that you'd like to include. Inside the website, along with all the templates, is a complete tutorial on adding and removing images to a document in Microsoft Word. Use this as your guide. Finally, if you are familiar with image-editing programs such as Illustrator or Corel, you have complete flexibility to modify any aspect of any image, from its color to its basic lines. Once you are happy with the way the invitation reads, try a test print on plain paper using the Manual Feed setting on your printer. We've tested all of our templates on inkjet and laser printers, so you shouldn't have any trouble printing with your standard home printer. Practice once on cutting around the red box. It's best to do this before you start your final prints on expensive paper. You can make as many test prints as you want, allowing you to test different wording, changes to your layout, and additions/subtractions of graphics, as mentioned above. Select the paper you have chosen for your final program. Before you start a large print run, test just one sheet. If the new paper causes any alignment or paper jamming issues, you'll need to troubleshoot the printer. Most printers allow adjustments to the manual paper feed tray. When you have a successful print out, you may still need to feed and print the invitations one at a time, depending on your printer. Once you have a stack of final prints, you can always do the cutting at home, especially if you have a paper cutter. But you'll probably save a lot of energy and mistakes by taking the stack to your local copy store and having them cut the entire stack at once. Be sure to have a prototype of a final cut with you for them to follow. Here is a little background on the other piece you see in this Holiday Colors Wedding Stationary Set. The Invitation The invitation is the only piece of the set that uses all of the different holiday colors. I did this because the invitation is the central piece that everything is structured around. The main image is a line drawing of a bride and groom with beautiful snowflake images in the background. Red and green are the bold colors of the design, but the white block with blue text in it accents the piece nicely. The Reception Dinner Invitation Like the save the date, I used a solid color (green) for the background. I then placed a small single snowflake image to represent the winter theme and a beautiful wine glass image to represent a dinner invitation. The reception dinner invitation is very simple, but extremely elegant and nice looking. The RSVP For the RSVP, I used a simple, yet elegant ring image. I then placed snowflakes down the left side of the layout to enforce the winter theme. Unlike the other pieces of the set where I used bright colors as the background, I kept with white. I did this so that it wouldn't blend in with the rest of the set. Also, white is a gorgeous winter color for the winter season, in that it represents snow, and blue is also a great winter accent color. This is a great wedding set for any winter wedding. It is festive, looks great, and is easy to create. I designed everything within a couple of hours from scratch and printed it from a 4-year-old HP OfficeJet G85 inkjet printer. |
