I love the bands you created!! I have to try this

[@DownloadAndPrint]

+Brandie D - Thank you. Would love the hear how they turned out.

[@ngoniecra]

That was so useful, I wish I knew it when I did my young brother's weddign invites.

[@johnmike1387]

Cool video, Cool design. Its really fabulous. I wanna make this one for sure.

[@DownloadAndPrint]

Our favorite paper is Neenah Classic Crest in white.

[@Deliipshuzz]

+DownloadAndPrint didn't you said you used cream colored cardstock? im lost And is that 110 lbs cardstock?

[@DownloadAndPrint]

+Deliipshuzz Neenah Classic Crest in white is our go to paper for general applications. The art deco invitation could be printed on white or cream. Neenah also make their paper in cream. Most home printers will have a hard time printing on 110 lb cardstock. This is heavy cardstock and will likely jam your printer. I recommend the heaviest paper that your printer will handle, anything above 80 lbs is good for invitations. Sorry for any confusion!

[@sakuratenshi3689]

that's a great design and the origami was really cool ^^ i think i should try this for my grandma's golden wedding invitation :)

[@DownloadAndPrint]

sakura tenshi That's a brilliant idea! How perfect.

[@k.a.48]

Hello! What are the fonts that are used on the card? I am trying to customize my wedding invitation but I don't have the same matching fonts! Thank you!

[@k.a.48]

What paper are you using? I want to buy the ones you're using in the video!! :)

[@christinac719]

Gorgeous! Very classy.

[@DownloadAndPrint]

Christina Guerrero Thanks Christina! I tried the art deco belly band on a whim and couldn't be happier with the way it turned out.

[@HOWELLBY]

My daughter is getting married in May and she has now made the decision to make her invitations. So I sent her your video and we are so excited. Btw do you do wedding invitations?

[@DownloadAndPrint]

+BB Howell Congratulations to your daughter! Please let us know if we can help in anyway with your DIY invitations. We don't make and ship invitations, but we are always here to help with your project if you decide to take it on yourself. We can help with any of our templates and the projects ideas at downloadandprint.com.

[@HOWELLBY]

+DownloadAndPrint thank you so much I'll let her know!

[@lorenagarcia5360]

Very beautiful! Thank you very much for sharing :) I was wondering what the total cost of these invitations is?

[@DownloadAndPrint]

Lorena Garcia I'm glad you like it! You can make the invitation you see here for pennies. The invitation template is free, you will need to buy paper, ink for your printer and envelopes. It's a really inexpensive project!

[@m.christinelawther82]

I'm trying to order the envelope, however can't locate the A7 black. Can you please provide a link for the specific envelopes (and not just the link for the company's website)?

[@DownloadAndPrint]

Hi, we like envelopes from Paper Source. Select black from the PS Collection. www.papersource.com/color/A7-Envelopes/2506.001/105.html?cm_mmc=cj-_-12598460-_-6454984-_-NA

[@myst4216]

Beautiful! what was the weight of the card stock used for the invitation?

[@DownloadAndPrint]

Thank you! We recommend paper between 65 lbs and 90 lbs. If it's in your budget and your printer can handle it get the thickest paper possible. Most home printers will jam with paper over 90 lbs.

[@DynamicalJon]

What paper did you use in this video? classic crest cream? It looks almost white, I've been looking for cream colored cardstock but it seems too yellow, I'm afraid the gold in the templates won't pop enough

[@DownloadAndPrint]

+Jon Singh The name of the card we used is Neenah Classic Crest in Natural. You are right that cream card will look a little more yellow than the card in the video, and white will be brighter.

[@DynamicalJon]

What is the paper cuter that you're using there, I like it alot

[@DownloadAndPrint]

+Jon Singh The paper cutter I used in the video is made by X-acto, 12" heavy duty: xacto.com/products/office-solutions/paper-cutters.aspx

[@gunittx08]

What should the margins be when printing the Save the Date template for this design via Microsoft word? Two should print per page, but only half of one came out on the card stock. Please help!

[@DownloadAndPrint]

+Brittany Guentner Oh no! Two should print per page. You should not have to change the margins as we have preset everything, and you simply need to click in the text boxes to change the wording. It sounds to me like this could be a page orientation issue. The save-the-date prints landscape, so please make sure this is selected in your print settings.

[@gunittx08]

+DownloadAndPrint It printed in landscape mode the first round. I'm not sure what happened...i'll have to play around! I was looking around in settings and accidentally changed the margins. They are only 1" all the way around now. Do you know the exact custom margins so I can reset?

[@DownloadAndPrint]

+Brittany Guentner The margins are set to the default of 1.25" top and bottom, and 1" left and right. However, to be honest the margins don't matter as all the text is placed in text boxes, and the graphics are an image that fills the entire 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper. When you print make sure your printer isn't scaling or resizing to fit the page. No adjustments are needed. If you are still having trouble I can help format the document for you. Just email your save-the-date to me at lisa at downloadandprint dot com.

[@samaryvillarreal8079]

Where I can get gold colored paper? When I open the link not the role I was used in the video appears. Thanks!

[@DownloadAndPrint]

Hi Samary, we bought individual sheets of gold paper in the scrapbook section of Michael's. www.michaels.com/blue-metallic-paper-by-recollections/M10151270.html?dwvar_M10151270_color=White%20Gold#prefn1=refinementColor&prefn2=size&pmpt=qualifying&prefv1=Gold&prefv2=12%22+x+12%22&start=3

[@emmamaples7517]

This is beautiful!

[@Mr_B_Davis]

What kind of printer did you use? Can I use a regular HP printer?

[@DownloadAndPrint]

+Alejandra Guzman Yes! Any home printer will work fine. Try using the highest quality print setting. We like all the printers in the Epson Workforce line.

[@sarahlong5867]

Is the freebie only available in black and gold? Our colors are navy and gold and I can't seem to change the color

[@DownloadAndPrint]

Hi Sarah, Yes this freebie is black and gold and unfortunately the colors can't be changed in MS Word. We do have a navy and gold version in the paid collection. You will also have access to the Photoshop files and can change the colors to any that you like. All the details are here: www.downloadandprint.com/pricing/

[@yvonnegonzalez9794]

what printer do you use? what paper is best for the liners?

[@DownloadAndPrint]

+Yvonne Gonzalez We like the Epson Artisan and Workforce line of printers. Any paper will work for the liners. You can print on regular copy paper and as you are attaching it to the envelope flap it will hold up well. Paper too thick will make closing the flap difficult.

[@littlebritian2822]

Hi this is really pretty. How much does this cost to make per invite. Awesome job :)

[@DownloadAndPrint]

Little Britian You can make the invitation you see here for pennies. The invitation template is free, you will need to buy paper, ink for your printer and envelopes. It's a really inexpensive project!

[@littlebritian2822]

DownloadAndPrint Thank you kindly :)

[@littlebritian2822]

DownloadAndPrint Hi - oh i forgot to ask, what size envelopes did you use for the rsvp-invite? (the small envelope) would be most grateful :)

[@DownloadAndPrint]

Little Britian The RSVP fits in a 4-bar envelope.

[@littlebritian2822]

Thank you soo much. Blessings :)

[@YanaHisham]

Hi i was wondering did u print it on inkjet printer?

[@DownloadAndPrint]

Yana Hisham Yes, we did print on an inkjet. We use an Epson Artisan printer.

[@marina-gl7ux]

I am unable to type in the names, the document doesn't allow me to change anything, what to do? Please help :(

[@DownloadAndPrint]

+amina marina Please make sure you are not in the header/footer layer in Word. The design should be grayed out/pale and the text should be strong. When you see this click on any of the text. The text box should appear, you can then highlight the sample text and type in your own details.

[@vanessadelgado6239]

can this website only be used for wedding invitations? or can it also be used for sweet sixteens?

[@DownloadAndPrint]

We have a wide range of printables. This art deco invitation is for weddings only as some of the text is locked in place, though if you love this design we can create a custom version for you to use for a sweet sixteen. We do other other party invitations that will work for a sweet sixteen: www.downloadandprint.com/templates-category/beyond-weddings/

[@vanessadelgado6239]

I really do love this design but I actually wanted to use it for a quinceanera, do you charge extra for a custom version?

[@DownloadAndPrint]

Customizations are $7 per template.

[@vanessadelgado6239]

how many copies do each template make?

[@DownloadAndPrint]

After you download the template file you can print as many copies as you like. Save the template to your computer in an easy to find place, and you'll have it forever. You can use it for multiple events just change the text each time and Save As.

[@aizaartillero8971]

[@HOWELLBY]

Beautiful!

[@DownloadAndPrint]

+BB Howell ... Thank you!

[@mstiffster25]

What fonts do I need to download for the text I fill in?

[@DownloadAndPrint]

+Tiffany Godfrey The fonts are Aerolite CPone and Ecuyer DAX. Both can found online for free, just search the font names. Once you download and install the fonts reopen Word and the template. Have fun!

[@evaweddinginvitation6579]

beautiful!

[@mzcaribbeauty5283]

I dont understand the reason for cutting 2 one inch strips when she only used one.

[@DownloadAndPrint]

+MzCaribbeauty Hi! Anna simply cut two to demonstrate that you will get more than one strip from each sheet of gold paper. You only need one strip per belly band, but you will probably be making more than one belly band to complete all your invitations so cut off as many strips as you have invitations.

[@mzcaribbeauty5283]

DownloadAndPrint lol ok thanks. I tried it already and got through though. well with the belly band cuz the diamond is giving me trouble.

[@DownloadAndPrint]

+MzCaribbeauty Oh no! the diamond is definitely best explained in the video so perhaps give it another watch.

[@mzcaribbeauty5283]

DownloadAndPrint I am not saying that it was not explained I am saying that mines did not turn out that great it wasn't neat. it was a complete failure

[@DownloadAndPrint]

+MzCaribbeauty Oh bummer. I'm sorry to hear it didn't turn out well for you.

[@DanielaMartinez-xh7qg]

where can i get the tape?

[@DownloadAndPrint]

+Daniela Martinez We are just using regular double sided tape that you would find in the office section at your local big box store.

[@malayshia_dior_]

what font are used in this video ?

[@DownloadAndPrint]

The fonts are Aerolite CPone and Ecuyer Dax, you can find both for free online.

[@malayshia_dior_]

+DownloadAndPrint. thank you !!
