How To Create FREE Wedding Invitations With Adobe Spark

74 Replies

Yes, it’s true! You can create amazing wedding invitations for FREE!

After living together for more than ten years, Marcus and I just became officially engaged a few months ago. I know, it’s about time! We will be doing a simple ceremony with a small group of our family and friends in attendance. Even though we are a mature bride and groom, this is still a big day for both of us and we want to create an enjoyable experience for everyone. Now that we’ve set the date, we need to plan a wedding. When we began making our budget it became apparent that we needed to find some creative ways to save money without sacrificing what we wanted.

We both want an outdoor event but also know that we will need to have plans for those who need accommodations due to mobility or health. As you know the extreme weather that we experience here in the South makes an outdoor wedding in August unbearable for most sane people. However, a ceremony at the state park in the spring when the flowers are blooming and the temperatures are mild would not only be comfortable for everyone, it would also save us money on decorating. Mother Nature will provide most of the flowers. 

We all know that no southern gathering is complete without food. And, we wouldn’t want anyone saying that we didn’t throw a proper southern party. Good thing we have some experience in this area. In addition to catering my parent’s 50th-anniversary celebration, we have catered two of our children’s weddings and many large family events over the years.

So we will be preparing the food and drinks for our big day, also. Marcus and I both love pulled pork and the fixins’ that go with it. I’m feeling a country bbq theme starting to take form. With a date, a place, and a general idea of what we want our day to be like it’s time to put it in writing. Invitations!

After food and decorations, one substantial cost is often invitations. They are more than telling your guests exactly where and when the wedding will be held. Just like when you meet someone for the first time, the invitation is the first impression of the wedding to come. And we all know, you don’t get a second chance to make a good first impression. Your invitations will set the mood for the wedding so it’s important that. Adobe Spark is a design app that you can use with your smart devices or web browser. They have some beautiful wedding invitation templates for you to choose from. With free wedding invitation templates from Adobe Spark, you’ll assemble graphics, text, and typography like an expert.  In no time, you’ll be designing your own custom wedding invitations with personality.

How to make your own wedding invitations using the Adobe Spark wedding invitation maker:

  • Get started by going to Adobe Spark.
    Here you will be able to choose from beautiful wedding invitation templates and design your own wedding invitation in minutes.
  • Select a size for your wedding invite

  • Pick a theme that grabs attention
    From fun, funky, and formal to traditional or avant-garde, Adobe Spark’s wedding invitation templates let you clearly communicate the theme of your event. Don’t be afraid to experiment with various options. 
  • Choose an image
    Adobe Spark makes it easy for you to upload and edit your own images. You can even add all sorts of special effects. They also have romantic graphics and free images that you can use. 
  • Decide on a style of typography
    The kind of lettering you choose for your custom wedding invitations says a lot about you. You can try different typography styles with just a few mouse clicks to see which one fits your vision.
  • Download, print or share your invitation
    This couldn’t be easier! You can download or send your finished design to a printer with one click. You can also instantly share it via email or social media post.
   

I had fun trying different styles, fonts, images and really appreciated that I could see the results of my changes immediately. Adobe Spark was new to me and with a little bit of practice, I was able to learn how to make our invitations reflect our personalities.

What do you think of our wedding invitation and the announcement that I made using Adobe Spark? We both love that it looks professional. The invitation isn’t exactly as I had envisioned it would be. That’s because when I got started creating I discovered some awesome features that I just had to have. I created our invitation and announcement using images, graphics, and fonts that were offered for FREE on their site.

Do you have a special event coming up? Are you looking to make a good impression or increase your presence on social media? Adobe Spark offers all kinds of free templates. You really need to check them out!

Two Win – Set Of Silicone Wedding Rings Giveaway ~ Closed

14 Replies

Are you looking for a safe alternative to a metal wedding band? A silicone wedding ring is the answer. Silicone rings are approved to wear in more workplaces and professions than any other ring. And, with good reason. Silicone is tough enough to wear everyday, but will give way and break when placed under extreme pressure. Silicone rings are low profile so they won’t easily snag on items. These rings are also heat resistant and non-conductive. This means that your fingers stay safe. And, while your ring can be replaced your fingers can’t.

Why A Silicone Wedding Ring Is A Great Idea

25 Replies

Are you looking for a safe alternative to a metal wedding band? A silicone wedding ring is the answer. Silicone rings are approved to wear in more workplaces and professions than any other ring. And, with good reason. Silicone is tough enough to wear everyday, but will give way and break when placed under extreme pressure. Silicone rings are low profile so they won’t easily snag on items. These rings are also heat resistant and non-conductive. This means that your fingers stay safe. And, while your ring can be replaced your fingers can’t.

Silicone rings are hygienic. Making them ideal for people in the medical field and parents of young children. Many first responders, doctors, and nurses wear them. Often, new mom’s will choose to wear this type of ring so that she doesn’t accidentally scratch the baby. Our daughter-in-law did this when our new granddaughter arrived.

These rings are inexpensive, especially compared to the hundreds or thousands of dollars people spend on engagement rings and wedding bands. If you wore a silicone ring when they first came out then you may be skeptical about trying one again. Groove has designed their rings with these little inner grooves and air ports that allow the ring to breathe. And, the grooves and air ports really work! No more stinky, sweaty finger. I really love how stylish and comfortable both the thin Morocco Dimension band and the Twilight Air stackable set that I received from Groove Life are. With so many beautiful designs, Groove Air Rings are a nontraditional way of saying “I’m committed” while showing my unique personality. Yet, they are inexpensive, especially compared to the hundreds or thousands of dollars people spend on engagement rings and wedding bands. 

So whether you’re traveling, busy, adventurous, or have a career that wearing a traditional band is not an option, rather than go without a band, a silicone wedding ring can allow you to safely symbolize your commitment and marriage. You really need to just look on their site and you’re sure to find one that matches your personality. I did and found several that I really love. Two of my favorites are Groove’s Thin Kryptek Camo and Breathe Dimension Rings. I would be proud to wear either one every day.

Did you know? That wearing a black wedding ring symbolizes eternal commitment as well as strength and power.

Do you wear your expensive rings while traveling, at work, or working out at the gym? Have you had to leave them at home? What would being able to wear a wedding ring at these times mean to you?
