Whimsical Floral

Instructions:
- Open with Acrobat Reader (if you don’t have download here)
- Click on ‘Sign’ button on the toolbar
- Then click on ‘Add text’
- Move your cursor on the invite where you would like to add text and click
- If you would like to change ghe font, text colour or size then use the pop-up toolbar
- Once finished if you would like to move your added text or make the box to type in larger just click on the added text and a box should appear. You are then able to make the box larger/longer/re-position so your added text is just right!
- Now go to ‘File’ on toolbar, then scroll down to ‘Save As’ and ‘PDF’ and save to your computer and voila, you can print as many of your invites as your heart desires!
The invites come with trim marks which means once you have printed them you can use a guillotine or a craft knife to trim to a perfect A6 size. Or you can ask your local print shop if they would trim them for you, at normally very cheap rates.
Paper and Envelopes
A6 size Save the Date requires C6 envelopes. There are many choices of beautiful paper out there but I would suggest cardstock, 210gsm +, however it is best to test what your printer can handle. The heavier the paper, the more lovely the stationery.
Printer
For best result, I would recommend a photo ink-jet printer or color laser printer. Be sure to set your print quality to the highest possible mode and that you change the settings to correspond with your paper type.
TIP: Use a white or silver pen to write on the rustic chalkboard or pink and pewter invites (due to the dark backgrounds)
