With special thanks to Miss Hibiscus and her phenomenal instructions on how to use PowerPoint to make wedding maps, I present to you our wedding map and directions. They are printed two-sided on Paper Source’s Luxe Cream Cover stock and are 5″ x 3 3/4″.
Very impressive Miss Corn!
Good choice on Newport Vineyards - I go every time I’m home. So pretty.
That looks great. It’s amazing how much one little detail takes so much time, but it’s well worth it.
very user-friendly
Oh, I hear you loud and clear of the mind numbing time it takes to do these maps. I am SO thrilled that I know how to do them, it is a massive time suck. I am almost done with the three various maps I have done for OOT guests.
For those running out of time, money and/or DIY skills — If your reception is near-ish the ceremony location and both places are well-known in the region (landmark, historic site, etc. — enough for a mention on a local map), it may be possible to get some brochure-type maps from the local municipality, tourist board, or even a hotel concierge/lobby. Could mail these to guests in advance, or just hand them out at the cermony (before with the programs, or after) so they can’t forget/lose the maps.
Worked for us. Free and zero time. Perfect glossy brochures. No copyright issues. Gave them ideas of stuff to do the rest of the weekend, too.
Aww, good job, can I get the instructions how to make them too?
