Loading ...Engagement Announcements
Astound your family and friends with a home made engagement announcement. Instead of buying an expensive engagement or wedding announcement create your own. I saw a similar announcement in Martha Stewart Weddings and it really works great. Your friends and family will be asking you were you bought your invitation.
Materials: Wedding or engagement embellishments, two different colors of cardstock (choose your wedding colors), glue stick or crafters glue, cutting board, ribbon (optional), and computer.
Instructions:
Step One: Once you’ve decided what two colors or cardstock you’d like (one color will be the invitation color that you will print your announcement on and the other color is an accent color) cut the cardstock that you will be printing on so that it measures 7 inches by 5 inches. If you’d like it smaller for mailing purposes that you can shrink the size down to 4 inches by six inches.
Step Two: Print your announcement on your 7×5 cardstock (Visit websites with invitations and announcements to get an idea of how to word your invitation). The sample announcement below reads:
Katie Smith and David Johnson
have become engaged!
Let’s toast to the happy couple over
dinner and drinks.
Saturday, the sixteenth of May
at six o’clock at
Kay’s Steak House.
Regrets Only (555) 555-9725
Step Three: Cut your accent colored cardstock so that it is slightly larger than your invitation. For instance, if your announcement is 7×5 cut the accent piece of cardstock so that it measures 7 1/2 or 8 inches by 5 1/2 or 6 inches (depending on how much of the accent color you want to be shown). Please see sample below for ideas and instructions.
Step Four: Add your embellishments to the announcement.
