Making Invitations on a Computer
If you have an important event coming up, whether it is a birthday, wedding or other party, you will need some type of invitation. You could spend money on boring, impersonal invitations. But why would you, when you can create unique invites using your computer? You can design and produce ideal, one of a kind invitations with all of details you desire. You can even take your pick between using Microsoft Publisher and Microsoft Word.
Instructions
Using Microsoft Publisher
1. Open Microsoft Publisher. In the "New Publication" task pane, under "New from a Design," expand "Publications for Print" by selecting the arrow to the left of it.
2. Click on "Invitation Cards" from the list that drops down. Select the type of event by clicking on the item from the submenu that appears, such as "Holiday Party" or "Shower."
3. Click on the invitation design that you want to use. In the "Invitation Options" task pane, click on "Page Options." Choose which folding style you want to use.
4. Click on "Color Schemes" in the task pane. Choose the color scheme you want to apply to the invitations, if you wish to change it from the default colors. You can also click on "Font Schemes" and change the invitations fonts.
5. Enter the information for your event on all four pages. Click the page numbers in the bottom pane of the Publisher window to navigate through the pages. When you have finished your invitation, save it and print.
Using Microsoft Word
