QUESTION: Hello,my daughter is getting married this June. Several months ago she had her invitations professionally done. For personal reasons they now need to change the church & reception names,times. Is there anyway to fix the original invitations,like using wordpad, select the type to invitation’s letter style. Or would there be a better way to cover-up the wording to put the new arrangements on them it’s too expensive to have them completely redone.Your help would be greatly appreciated.

My Answer:

It really depends on the style and type of invitation. If it is white, you could use a roll on type of white out and then try and print over them. Do some test ones first to make sure you have the line up right. Another option would be to print the new information on labels and stick them over the old information. It will not look as great as the first ones, but at will be cheaper then new ones.

Here is another option that would look elegant and be affordable. Stop in at your local craft or scrapbooking store and pick up some solid paper in a different color, light enough to print on though – maybe in the wedding color. If you pick 12×12 papers, you may be able to do 4 invitations per paper, depending on the size of the original invitation. These papers are usually less then a $1 each, so 25 cents per invitation!

Then, cut the papers into pieces about 1/2 an inch smaller then the invitation inside. Cut one first, and place it over the text to make sure it actually covers all the invitation wording. Then, cut the rest and print all of the invitation wording on to each on. You can then stick them onto the invitation over the original wording! It will look like they were meant to be there! I recommend using double sided scrapbooking “tape”. It holds well and will not bunch like glue, which will keep it looking professional and clean!

Hope that helps:)Questions and let us know!
