So, I searched & searched online for a template. I wanted a cute and fun background to use so I could fill in all my important information for the girls. I had visions of pink & white and fancy fonts and fun shapes covering the pages.
Sadly, I couldn't find that many templates & of those I did find -- there were none that fulfilled my vision for the newsletter. So, I made one.
I don't possess strong computer skills, and I wouldn't say that I necessarily made a newsletter in the proper program... in the simplest way possible. But I made a template, that made me smile, in one of the programs I learned to use while in college: Microsoft Power Point.
It allowed me to use different shapes, fun fonts, add pictures with captions, as well as change & move & tilt & move [again] everything on the page!
I tried to do all this in Word at first, but it just wasn't functional. Once you hit paste -- it's stuck and for a "work in progress", that's exactly what you don't want to happen!
So here's my project... and I have to say, I love how it came out!
I know these pictures are pretty hard to read... I attempted to take a picture and then upload it, but this version of a jpeg file looked [if you can believe it] more clear than the iPhone [gasps!].
In case it only looks clear to me [because I already know what it's supposed to look like...] the first page consists of what I thought was really important "stuff". I wrote a thank you to all my bridesmaids to let each of them know how much it means to me that they said "yes!" to my proposal to them!
I included all the wedding day details: date & time & place, a small blurb about our venue & the rest of the vendors we've already "hired" - I guess you could say.
Just like I have a matron & a maid of honor, Sean has two best men: his younger & older brother. For them [since they will be my family now] I included a few brief sentences about them with their pictures. For the rest of the boys, I made sure to write their first name as well as their relationship to Sean.
I included all the important info about the dress: where they could buy it, the style number, the price & the perks [detachable straps & pockets!]. I also used pictures from the website of the dress as well as pictures of two of my bridesmaids in the dress during our first "find the dress" outing.
I hope they enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!
I think it was successful & plan on sending out another one in December. =)
