How to Make Your Own Wedding Stationary

Female: It’s a brand new range, cool chart tool to create and the idea is it’s taking some of our lace-cut stationery that’s really popular but making it in a way that you can make your invitations so it’s kind of giving brides an opportunity to get creative themselves and have a bit of an input into their stationary. And it’s also quite nice in kind of cost-saving times. It’s like a nice alternative activity to maybe doing your own invites, but that way you still got something quite nice and presentable at the end of it. So basically, we’ve got brand new websites and which I’ll show it to you later, create.co.uk. And what you do is you go in there and you can choose from one of three different designs. We’ve got this cool lace heart design, fantastic butterfly and kiss invitation. So you choose your card’s design and then you choose your card’s color in there's five different colors to choose from to come in with designs in any one of five colors and then you choose your insert color and your ribbon and when you want to order to our line, we send you a little different bits and pieces and with instructions on how to put new inserts and different ways you might want to tie your ribbon depending on what you’re doing with it and then you run off on your own printer at home and you put them all together using your ribbon and make your own stationery. So I got two lovely brides with me today and we’re going to have some nicely created stationery and I’m going to tell them different ways of making it and create their invitations and menus. So first of all, what we need to do is we’re going to choose a nice creative design for you and then choose your color that you like and then your insert and then you ribbon and I’m going to show you how to put them together. So we’ve got this lovely heart design you might like and if you saw anything that you particularly have like theme-wise your wedding, what kind of colors we’ll see— Female: I like to have our flowers to be definitely having some bright pink flowers stuff like that goes with something like that and we’re going to do instead. Female: Okay, cool. So nice fuchsia pink color for you either the outer or the inner. Female: I’m much more of pink colors from back top and you fold it. Female: You like this design, okay so do you like it nice—they’re fully designed—that one for you and do you have like it so with designed you for that? Female: I do a lot but I think I like the heart the best so it’s kind of cool. Female: So here’s your pink color, it’s perhaps excellent. Different papers you inserts. This might be a quite nice with you also. This is a nice pistachio color or maybe—nice pale pink, like a candy pink is quite and it’s really nice behind the natural and what about you? Female: We now be able to have a different insert and then to know the different color ribbon over there. Female: Yeah you can take if for whatever, really cool thing about the range. Female: I'm thinking about pistachio and I think of what we’ll be making. Female: Okay, pistachio and pink, very cool so like that, yes. Female: Yeah. Female: Yeah that will be really nice okay. What we’ll do is we’ll choose a different ribbon and I’ll show you how to tie them together, maybe a nice ribbon and you can tie that in like a pretty button at the top or you ti it into a nice little—at the bottom. A lot of colors to choose from, maybe the fuchsia pink might be quite nice with yours. So what we need to do especially is cut your ribbon to size. So what you need to is just five times the height. So you just need to measure up right up five times the height and that give you plenty of ribbon. So you take your insert and you just fold it in half. A nice neat way to do it is just to kind of get a little two corners meeting and then press down at the end and next I’ll cut get away. Al’ right I’ll show you how to do it best. Okay like that, I’m just getting a nice neat fold. So then you take your insert, you put inside your cover and then you insert a tiny bit more than your cover so that you’ve got a nice borders, we’re going to stick how the edges you don’t have to worry about being perfect with it. And then get your ribbon and you cut the size and then now I’ll show you how to tie to a nice body. And now we’re going to do yours Laurence, and yours is just a simple knot, say its quite easy stay say you’ve cut your ribbon. So what you can do is you can order extra ribbon. So you could go like for a wide—and a narrow fuchsia pink can make my stripe effect which is quite fun. So here is to your weddings and cheers ladies.
