How to Make Three Fold Wedding Invitations

Tri-fold wedding invitations are a unique way to express your style and creativity. The tri-fold format allows for a glimpse into the wedding by providing a greater personalization of the invitations. This can be done is by adding a photo of the couple to one of the folds.

Making these types of invitations is not difficult. The invitations can be printed from your home computer on fancy card stock paper using a quality laser printer.

Step One: Determine the type of wedding information you want to include on your invitation. This is personal information, beyond the standard text of bride and groom's names, date, time and place of the wedding and could include your photo or personal sentiments.

Step Two: Determine how the invitations are to be folded. Tri-fold invitations can be folded in either a letter or a z-fold format.

Step Three: Once the fold format has been chosen, it is time to set the invitation up for printing. The important thing to remember when doing this is to line up the information with the correct fold. This can be done using MS Word or a similar program that allows for the format to be set into columns for printing. The design can be further customized by setting the fonts and the font sizes.

Step Four: Select the paper for the invitation. Wedding invitations are usually printed on card stock or a similar fancy paper. This paper can usually be found at your local stationery store or can be ordered online.

Step Five: It is time to print your invitations. Carefully load the specialty paper into the printer and set the printing settings to landscape orientation. Click print and make sure your invitations are printing correctly.
