DIY Programs/Menus

I'm considering doing them myself. Anyone know of any good resources for paper? Or any places that have inexpensive programs? TIA

Re: DIY Programs/Menus

Have you tried staples? They have cardstock that you can do your menus or invitations with.

Re: DIY Programs/Menus

You can honestly make it on the MS Word Program...you'll just have to fudge around the sizes, ink, and fonts, etc.

Re: DIY Programs/Menus

I was thinking I could make like a folder over program, the inside I have covered- I'm just going to use regular paper. What can I use for the cover though other than cardstock?

Kates Paperie in the city has a lot of stuff. I saw that Michaels has new paper products by Anna Griffith that are really cute, too!

Good luck

Re: DIY Programs/Menus

Got my paper at Staples and used a program from one of the other girls - I'll see if I can find the thread.

ETA: Found it! Wedding Program Thread

I made a tea length menu with a cover. I used vellum as the cover.

Re: DIY Programs/Menus

I am actually taking a trip over to 18th Street today to go to Print Icon. I love that place...they have great stuff.

For my programs I got a heavier linen type paper instead of cardstock. You might want to consider that.

Re: DIY Programs/Menus

I just got the covers printed and I am going to print up the inserts myself. I used invitations4less.com and their service was excellent! I got the linen quality in ecru and had the font and motif customized to match my Encore invitations.

This is an example from their website. I highly recommend them.

Re: DIY Programs/Menus

That's what I was thinking of doing. I printed up a draft of the inside and it looks great. Just need to work on the cover now.

Re: DIY Programs/Menus

Bump for more advice/suggestions!

I would really like to do a foldover one and print it myself. I can't find the right paper at the right price. I really want something with a border.
