Wedding Invitation Monogram Dilema

Sarah-Em, 24 October, 2010 at 18:15 Posted on Planning 0 2

HELP! I'm having a total nightmare trying to find/create my own monogram to go on the front of my wedding invitations, it doesn't help that we don't have Microsoft Word installed on our PC and all of the DIY websites show you how to create them in Word.

I've found 2 PERFECT monograms so far that I totally LOVE and would love to be able to re-create myself, but how do I go about this without Word.

These are the 2 that I've found thus far:

I LOVE this design and the butterfly, it's apparently called a Beautiful Woods Butterfly, but I can't find a picture of it anywhere to be able to use.

The other one is this:

With this one I'd want a Butterfly in place of the bird.

Is it really as hard as it seems to recreate these? They look like such simple designs!?

Ialso want to be able to create some sort of pretty butterfly design watermark to go on the actual typed out invite, so it kind of wraps around the wording. I'm making my own Pocketfold invites by the way.

If anyone has any idea how to achieve this without Word I would be most grateful for your help.

    What program are you using instead of Microsoft?

    If you're using OpenOffice you could try their publisher, word or powerpoint equivalent. Download some free fonts from https://www.1001freefonts.com/, make your monogram and then save the file as a jpeg. Then you can insert it as a picture or watermark.
