    hi ladies,
    wondered if anyone else is doing this...?
    just designing my invites for our blessing in a few months time and iv decided to design my own monogram of our initials overlapping a small carriage to fit in with our cinderella theme to go on the front, as i didnt really want to put ''blessing invitation'', doesnt quite sound right, and cant do ''wedding invitation'' as we're already married!
    anyway, it looks really pretty and i thought id share my idea with those of you who are making your own invites/stationery. you can save loads of money on something professional looking by designing it yourself.

    i did it on the computer lala, and apparantly you dont put your first initial with a & in the middle, you put the brides inital first, the grooms last with your surname in the middle, so you wont have to be h & m!
    its easy to do as well, can either be done in word or powerpint, a bit complicated to explain how to do it myself, but ill copy and paste some online instructions i found, or i can play around for you if you like, see what i can come up with?

    Choose Insert -> Textbox. Type and format the letter the way you like it. Do this three times. Now click on all textboxes and choose Format->Textbox. Choose Color: No Fill (so you can overlap letters) and Line: No Line. Select all letters, right click, and choose Group to lock in the arrangement. You can now copy your image into Microsoft Paint and save in several formats, such as JPEG.

    sounds like gobbldygook, but its deinatly doable! x

    well iv made one but iv no idea how to save the whole thing as one image. i think il have to print it off, scan it back in and do it that way.
    hmmm, how to use the scanner?..... MAN?.....MAN?......MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN?
    ok, so there doesnt seem to be one of those here at the moment, but i am definatly on to it! xx
