I received a PM today from a new member who cannot post as of yet (possible technical difficulties, trying to sort it out!). She needs some help so I thought I would post the Pm here - if anyone can help her, can they please post here and I'll PM her to let her know. Cheers groovy chicks!

hi mistleuk,
i have tried your website address but couldn't get through to it
but you said something about checking spelling, i wonder if that might be the problem, could you let me know if that is the correct spelling please?

also i know i'm a bit cheeky (or a lot) but what kind of job do you work at to be on the computer at that time to be so kind as to send me a helpful email?

thanks a lot,

mazzee

Hi and welcome Mazzee!!

Lots of us have made our invites so if you think of any questions let us know and we'll do what we can!!

There've been lots of posts about it recently too I think - especially re paper supplies etc - craftcreations get mentioned lots!!

Have a nosey and join in, the more the merrier is definitely the way forwards around here!!

Hi Mazzee,

Welcome to MGW!! I just wanted to let you know that the website Emma/Mistleuk is effectively the same as the one Bianca sent you too (I think at some point Paper Alchemy was bought by the group behind Find-Me-A-Gift). Here's the URL anyway: http://www.paperalchemy.com/free-templates.htm

If you're looking for actual software to design/print cards from, Hallmark Cards do have a software package but you may have to hunt around a couple of online retailers to find a copy:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/...369553-4162269

Finally, if you do a search on http://www.google.com with the criteria of "wedding invitation" template you should find a few websites which have various examples and guides.

Have fun looking & making

Angela

hi and thanks,

could you perhaps email me a picture of your invite and tell me if it was all downloaded because those that i have downloaded look pretty basic, do they print out differently?

roz · #12 (**permalink**) 14-08-2002, 12:09 PM

Downloads will work for insides or if you want to make a "postcard" type card invite

We used a vague template for the insides of ours but the outside was a ripped square of paper with a paper mini rose stuck on.

Once you know what words you what or how formal you want it, just have a play and see what happens!!

(If you have time that is!! If not, go to Smiths!! That's what we did when we used all our homemade ones!!)
