Pssst. This post was originally published on my old blog, back when I was designing resumes on the side. Since I’m now designing and selling digital downloads full time here at Pipkin Paper Company, I thought this post would be a better fit here. This is still how I make a template in Word to this day.
Microsoft Word is, in my opinion, the simplest and most straight forward way to start making money with templates. Now, is it every designers dream to be designing in Word? No. But you’re designing for the end user, not other designers. That means less time spent teaching your customers how to use Illustrator and more time spent designing and selling products.
And more time designing products = more money in your pocket.
While I’m going to be showing you how to make a resume template in Word in this post, you can use this guide as a jumping off point for making whatever templates you want. I’ve used Word to design wedding invitations, business cards, planner pages, you name it.
The process is the same no matter what product you’re making, so don’t let the resume part fool you.
About 8-12 months before your wedding, you’re going to want to give friends and family a heads up so they can begin making arrangements. Although it’s not completely necessary, most couples choose to do this by sending save the date cards to everyone on the guest list.
But you already knew all that, right? (I thought so.)
Last week we answered the top save the date questions we hear all the time (everything from when to order them to whether or not you even need them). But if you’ve already bought your cards and you’re getting ready to mail ’em out, chances are you’re just wondering how to address save the dates properly.
Read on and we’ll teach you how to address save the dates in 5 minutes flat.
If you’re reading this, chances are you’re engaged—so let me
start by saying, congratulations! Engagement
season just came to a close and that means that save the date season is just getting
started. So what better time to go over the ins and outs of invitation suites
and all the stationery that comes with it, yes? I promise to answer all your
burning invitation questions in later posts, but first up, let’s talk about
save the dates.
I work with engaged couples all the time and I end up hearing a lot of the same questions over and over again: Are save the dates really necessary? How do I address the envelopes? Can I send them electronically or do I have to have them printed?
Trust me, most newly engaged couples are just as confused as you are. Here are the most frequently asked save the date questions we hear all the time.
Laser cut wedding invitations are everywhere these days. But even if you find a printer willing to do it for you, such a pricey process is out of the question for most of the brides I work with. Even those laser slide-in cards often touted as an “inexpensive” alternative aren’t doing your budget any favors. But here’s a little hack to get you the same look without blowing your budget. Read on to learn how to make DIY laser cut wedding invitations at home on the cheap.
