I would love an aisle runner like that!

Angelica here is the short version of how I made the invitation.

First, I figured out the size, most important since it dictated how much information went into it and the cost of postage.

So once I decided on the size of the invite. I created a box in powerpoint(I didn’t have a illustrator so I worked with what I had) You can dictate the size of the box by using the shape format. I set it to the size of the invite then put the wording in side the box. I did the same for the inserts depending how big I want each of them to be.

For the pocket fold I purchased cover stock (105# weight) and had them custom cut really cheap from Anchor paper online. I bought a paper cutter that included a scorer. Measured how I wanted the pocketfold to fall. I used the scorer to make the fold. To make the acutal pocket is a lil hard to explain. I’m going to look for the bio that explained how to make it. It nice with pics. If you email me I will send it back to you (smith_stephanie_a@yahoo.com)

As for the monogram, I also designed it powerpoint. Had it printed on coverstock paper and double back it so it wouldn’t bend. I bought some foam board, cut it into small parts and pasted it between the monogram and pocketfold. This allowed the invitation to lock shut.

Sorry I couldn’t go much in detail email me and I will give you more information.

The aisle runner is fantastic! This is the one that inspired me to do this at my own future wedding. LOVE IT!!! All the projects are fabulous!
