DIY STD's, programs, menus, invites, etc. What program did you use?

I attempted photoshop last night...and well no luck whatsoever . Please reply with what program you used for all of your wedding DIY paper goods. Thanks

Re: DIY STD's, programs, menus, invites, etc. What program did you use?

I've been using Macromedia Fireworks.

Is it easy to learn?

You might want to skip the printing thing. What you could do is once you have what you want designed, take it to a stamp place and have themmake a rubber stamp of it. Then, you can use ink and stamp it, use embossing powder and a heat gun and emboss it, or any other of a number of methods. All you will have to do is lay it out in a program like microsoft word, and take the one printed copy to a custom stamp place. (I know there is one in Huntington, and a few others across the island...) I am planning on making my invites and maybe a monogram stamp this way. (And then they can be used repeatedly!)

I don't think its too hard to learn..you can probably find some tutorials on the internet..same with photoshop..they are pretty similar, I just use fireworks because it allows you to preview fonts.

i want to do all my own but honestly i dont thnk i am capable of doing it .....let me know if u wind up doing it maybe u can give me some ideas

or maybe i will start out with something easier like the menus are palcecards ...then go to the harder stuff like invites if the other things come out nice
