Announcements are made for honoring someone or reaching a milestone in life. See below on how to make a birth announcement, wedding announcement, graduation announcement, engagement announcement, or any other announcement from start to finish. Do it yourself and save time and money!
- The first step is designing your announcement card.
- Try our simple easy to use Maestro Label Designer or download a blank template, they both work great.
- Select the item number OL247 in Maestro then start designing.
- Add announcement details and personalize each card with message text.
- Play around with the fonts, text colors, background colors, insert images, and add different shapes to accent your announcement design.
- Print out your design on some plain white paper just to make sure your design is fitting the template margins and printing properly.
- If you have successfully finished steps 1-5 then it’s time to print your announcements.
- Place the cardstock in your printer and click print.
- Place invitations into an envelope and make sure to use OnlineLabels.com’s standard address labels (item # OL875) for a clean look.
Tips and Tricks
- Reduce smearing ink if using an inkjet print by setting your printer to a standard quality print setting.
- If you have a laser printer make sure you have the paper setting set to “Card Stock” or another heavy gauge paper material setting. This will help the toner fuse to the material and reduce toner flaking or scratching.
- Try to stick to a central theme, so you don’t over design the announcement by adding to may pictures and different colors.
- Don’t forget to add critical information such as the events location, time, contact information for RSVP, and suggested attire.
