Winter Wedding Seating Card How to conceptualize and design the Winter Wedding Seating Card. When I think of winter, I think of clear crisp days with snow covering the ground and trees. The skies are clear and blue. Snow falls gracefully to the ground. When I designed my winter wedding set, I used snowflakes and the color blue throughout. Seating Card This seating card evokes the winter season wonderfully. It's small and beautiful. All I did was put a snowflake in the background and then made a section for the table number and person. Then I cut around the snowflake to give the seating card a unique shape. |

Personalize and Print the Winter Wedding Seating Card Paper Suggestions • 8.5" x 11" • 30 to 60 pound card stock • Bright white, transparent, or metallic sliver 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 A radius of 1.5" Colors Suggestions:Try using different shades of blue, silver (gray), white, and deep brown (gold). These are very popular colors for the wintertime, so using them in your seating card will enhance the winter theme. Fonts used: Fine Hand 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 organized 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 snowflake image. Be sure to leave a little white around the edges of the snowflake so that it doesn't look crowded or cut-off. You can also use this test cut as a guide for cutting the rest of your seating cards. 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 invitation. 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. But sure to have a prototype of a final cut with you for them to follow. Here is a little background on the other pieces you see in this Winter Wedding Stationary Set. The Invitation I made the focal point of this invitation the verse at the top with the snowflake in the corner. It then leads the reader to the rest of the wedding announcement. I kept the same blue color and used glossy white paper to reflect the cold, slick feeling of winter. The Program The program turned out great. The front had a great image of a snowflake in a blue bar which ties the color and theme of the wedding together perfectly. The names of the bride and groom along with the wedding date encompass the snowflake image. When you turn the program over, the bridal party is given. I designed the layout this way so that it would be easy for guests to look at. The backside also has the blue strip and snowflake at the top, which once again carries the theme. The Thank You The thank you gives a special touch to the card. It has a wonderful image of a horse and sleigh so that people will always remember the wonderful winter themed wedding. Then it has a simple and thoughtful thank you verse. This is a great wedding set for a winter wedding. It's got snowy character and is easy to create. I designed everything in a couple of hours from scratch and printed it from 4-year-old HP OfficeJet G85 inkjet printer. |
