Invitation help please!

Houdini, 14 May, 2009 at 15:41 Posted on Planning 0 8

Sorry if this comes out a bit rambly!

I have my save the date cards from Vista Print and have managed to obtain a file of the picture from them to use on my invitations. I'd like to design my own invites so they match and I know someone who can get them printed for me cheaply but I'm probably the least artistic person in the world and wanted to know if there are any websites / people to help with this kind of thing?

Here's the picture we used:


I have no real preference as to type of invitation (ie folded, gate, etc), just after ideas if anyone can help?? ?

    Hi ... I helped another hitcher out with this as she wanted her vista print Save the Date picture used - but as I'm more of a craft designer than a print designer, I used the picture to add a 'tag' element to her pocketfold .... this was a sample idea for that Hitcher ... this particular design has a very subtle hint of the image, but yours could be quite bold given its black and white .... if you were looking (in the future) for a stationer then I'd be happy to help ... There are lots of options to incorporate your image into a design....

    Thanks MSP!

    Just had a quick nosey at your website, love your designs! Also quite like the top table wine charms which may have to be ordered nearer the time! (As long as I can change the bridesmaid one to a second best man?!)

    Will definately bear you in mind though, thanks very much!

    Thanks RaeF ... very kind of you to say so.

    The Table Top WCs (no, that doesn't work, does it!!!) - wine charms are available in any combination...

    Why do wedding related things have such rubbish acronyms ?! The amount of times I type STD and have to go back and put it in full!!! : )

    I often have a schoolgirl-ish snigger at the acronyms people use and don't even realise!

    I think my favourite was the sausage and mash thread where people kept shortening it... ?

    Lol - this is the design that I use for my business cards etc from Vista print. I am sure I could help you.

    I have a design that you could incorporote this pic - similar to Mrs SP ideas. I can give you a couple of ideas of what you would need to make and put together. I could even make up a step by step guide for you to make your own, if that helps?

    That'd be brilliant kizzy! Although I am now worried about the quality of the picture as the one I've got is only tiny? Spoke to the IT guys at work after I posted and they had concerns about using such a small image which has given me reservations. Although I likes Mrs SP's idea with the tag on it... More rambling!!

    My email is *********@*******.**.** if you could email me and we'll talk some more? (Not that I need to sort anything just yet but if you've used the pic already then any ideas you have would be fantastic)

    Did you see the quote I highlighted? I think it was maybe Mel and it said something along the lines of....

    "Just asked H was he thinks of S&M at a wedding, he says it's different, but he'd like it."

    Haaaaa! ?

    (disclaimer - may not have been Mel!)
