I have read several posts about girls making their own programs. Can you send me your ideas. My wedding is a year away, but I want to see what is available. Also, is there special paper that you used, how about computer programs. Fill me in on all. Thanks
I bought brochure paper at Staples. It is heavy stock paper that is scored into 3 panels. Then I just did it through Microsoft Publisher. My programs weren't very fancy, but they came out very pretty and simple. I didn't even save one for myself, because I never expected so many people to show up at the chuch. They all went.
Is Microsoft Publisher standard in Microsoft Works 2000?
I am just using microsoft word and putting in a booklet form which I think is on XP, I am not sure, fh is in charge of this!! I bought silver/grey vellum with grey parchment sort of looking paper. Got it at Access paper which was recommended to me by Sonicstef on here! Good luck!
I made all my programs for about .30 each. I printed them on regular paper. I am not a microsoft word wiz, so I printed each page separatly, and then (literally) cut and pasted on the 8 X 11 sheets of paper once they were folded in half - then I just made photo copies. I then used vellum paper that I bought on ebay as a cover, folded that over the program and kept it together with ribbon. I printed some designs on the program covers, like hearts, and leaves and such. I'll see if I can attach a photo. Good luck!
I used 80# cover paper in ivory for the cover of my programs. On the front is our monogram and on the back center bottom it reads: 'At Home'...followed by our names and adresses for people to get in touch with us. Then for the inside pages I bought 28# resume paper in ivory, set up my layout in word and printed them out. Tied them together with red organza ribbon. Easy, simple and less than .50 cents each.
MS Publisher might be standard on some machines, but it a completely different program than Works. The thing I like about Publisher is that it allows you to type in your info in sequential order, but then it will print out like a booklet that you can just fold in half.
I am ordering blank programs that match my invites and just printing them up on my computer. They are costing me about $36 for 100 or $0.36 each.
