Helpful Tips:

Co-ordinate your invitations with your table settings and Order of Services Booklets

When laying out your wording, always trial on copy paper and ensure you have left sufficient space for embellishments.

You can use Decorative edgers instead of a paper trimmer to further embellish your design.

Use Reversible or Designer Paper for an extra layer between card and wording to add extra detail. Simply cut to a size slightly larger than the wording layer to allow pattern to be visible.
