Dressing up your DIY Kits

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

So, you’ve got your DIY invitation kit…now what?

Well, you can choose to use the templates as they come and simply replace the text in the template with your own wording, choose your font(s) and text colours and print. With a little imagination and some clipart or images, you can go even further by personalizing the templates and customizing your invites.

Below you will see how we customized the Ava DIY Invitation template by changing some of the text to red and adding a simple scroll image to the corners.

This is what the template will look like when you first open it on your computer.

Highlighting the “&”, date and location lines in red really make the invitation pop!

Finally, we added a scroll design in two corners of the invite and now we have a completely customized diy invitation.

Below is a photo of a completed Ava DIY Invitation using this customized design. We also incorporated the design into the table numbers, menus, seating chart, place cards and thank yous.
