Printing Your Invitations Correctly
Printing your own invitations from a downloadable template allows you to find an invitation design that fits your style, customize it to fit your specific wedding information, and then quickly print and ship invitations on your own. With proper planning, you could easily complete it in an afternoon.
We’ve put together a guide to help you get started with DIY wedding invitations. Continue reading for steps to consider, as well as pro tips and tricks.
Select Your Paper
When it comes to paper, you definitely don’t want the standard thin printer paper. In general, the thicker the paper, the more luxurious it will feel. Consider using something with some texture, such as linen or felt.
To select your paper, we recommend visiting a specialty stationery store or a print shop. Feel the paper before purchasing a full ream, and test several options on your home printer to ensure a good fit.
Consider File Formats
To avoid unnecessary back and forth, let the designer know ahead of time what type of file you’ll need for printing. Printing as a PDF will result in higher quality than printing as a JPEG. However, each printing option, whether online or at a local print shop, will have a different file type requirement.
Plan Your Ink Consumption
You’ve considered the cost of paper, but ink is also an expense. If you use a colored background, you’ll use a lot of ink, which can raise the cost of your invitations significantly. In addition, a less-than-new printer may exhibit flaws in large areas of color.
Allowing the paper to show through while including colorful touches in the design may be the best way to go.
When printing at home, it’s critical to ensure that all of your equipment is in good working order. Your computer screen may not provide an accurate representation of how the design will print. Home printers are typically a shade or two darker, whereas low-cost web or local printers are typically a shade or two lighter.
Spend time printing tests and adjusting your printer settings to get the colors you want, and invest in a sample or two if you’re having your print shop do the heavy lifting so the color balance is perfect. When you’re finished, press the print button.
