What to write in card to bridesmaid
DIY Bridesmaid Cards! Done in 5 minutes!
hello everybody today I am going to be
showing you how to create these super
easy DIY bridesmaid proposal cards and
we're gonna be using the canva app if
you're not familiar with canva it is a
free online photo editor anybody can use
it as long as you have internet you
don't have to download anything there's
no special software you can do it right
from your phone or on your desktop
computer so I'm gonna go ahead and open
up the app it's canva canv a canva is
awesome for so many different things but
today I'm just going to be showing you
how to do these cards so when you
download the template the bridesmaid
proposal template you will pull it up in
canva and I'm going to show you how to
do that you're going to go down to the
bottom you will see the little plus sign
click on the plus sign and you're gonna
see different templates all across the
bottom that you can use they have
pre-made templates that are already
sized for various things but today we're
going to be creating a custom template
using the bridesmaid proposal card so at
the top where it says choose a size
you're going to click inside of that box
and where it says with you're going to
type in 3300 and where it says height
you're going to type in 25 50 okay and
that is the pixel size for a standard
eight-and-a-half by 11 inch sheet okay
it's just in pixels not inches so then
you're going to go ahead and click the
check mark in the upper right hand
corner and here's your sheet and now the
next thing you're going to do is you're
going to pull up the template I'm gonna
leave the link down below for the
template these are only five dollars and
it's unlimited printing you can print as
many cards as you need you don't have to
wait for anybody to mail it to you you
can do it right from your phone or your
computer and you can print it
immediately that day if you need ten you
can print ten if you need five hundred
you can
five hundred so once you download the
template it's a five dollar price for
unlimited everything and so it's really
a good bang for your buck because as we
know special events and weddings can
really add up as far as price goes so
this is a really good alternative and
it's really beginner friendly so go
ahead down at the bottom click on the
plus sign and then you're going to click
on image because by now you will have
downloaded the template and saved it to
either your phone or your desktop and
again I will drop that link down below
in the description box click on image
and find the image wherever you saved it
so I have it saved on my phone and here
it is um it pulls up and what you're
gonna do is you're going to push it all
the way up into that corner and you're
gonna drag with the little white circle
all the way in the bottom right hand
side your good is going to drag it with
your finger or your mouse until it fills
the entirety of the page okay so now
there you go as you can see the artwork
is already done for you the sizing is
already done for you
all you need to do is add your text and
print so it's super easy there are two
cards per sheet which saves you when it
comes to printing saves money saves ink
you're going to be printing on white
cardstock paper you can either have
these printed at a vendor like a local
coffee shop or you can print from home
on your home color printer and again all
you need is white cardstock you can get
that anywhere you can get it at Walmart
Amazon really anywhere that they sell
paper you can find just standard white
cardstock so as you can see there are
two cards per sheet you're going to be
putting your text inside the floral area
and then you're just going to be cutting
this sheet right down the middle in half
and then you're just going to fold it so
this will become a folded card so click
on the plus sign down at the bottom
right click on the text option all the
way on the left click on add some text
of your own and a text box will appear
double click inside the text box
use your backspace button to delete the
existing text and now we're just gonna
say we're gonna start with the standard
wording will you be my bridesmaid I'm
going to type in will you be my because
this is going to be a little smaller
than the other wording and you're just
going to drag it with your finger or
your mouse until it's where you want it
to be then I'm going to click from the
drop down menu and choose a font that I
want to use I like this one but you can
choose any one you want
and then I'm going to click on that text
box until it highlights that text and
I'm going to duplicate it all the way up
at the top if you see there are two
rectangles and it looks like two little
sheets of paper just click on that and
it duplicate duplicate excuse me your
text and then you're just going to slide
it up to the top double click on the
inside backspace with your mouse or
finger and this is going to be the name
so I'm going to just say Maya is her
name I'm going to make it a little bit
bigger so it pops a little bit more and
then I'm going to add text one more time
by clicking the plus bot button at the
very bottom right clicking on text add
some text of your own the text box will
appear you drag it to the area that you
want it to be double click with your
finger or mouse erase the existing text
and I'm going to write in bridesmaid and
I'm going to make this a fancier font
there's so many different options that
they have so if you just scroll through
and you find one that you like I'll use
that one that's pretty and then I'm
going to drag it so that it's a little
bit bigger you can use bright
made as your title you can use any title
you want you can use flower girl maid of
honor matron of honor you can just make
this a regular greeting card it doesn't
even have to have anything to do with
your wedding party if you just want it
to be like a birthday card or something
like that you can use this template over
and over again which is a really nice
thing and then what you're going to want
to do on the other side is just copy and
paste which makes it really easy so
you're going to click on bridesmaid
click on the two little pieces of paper
rectangles at the top to duplicate it
slide it over to about there click on
the will you be my oops
I guess we'll just do the name we'll
duplicate that same way we did the other
one I'll have to move it around there we
go so I can get to it and then you just
use your finger or mouth just sort of
Center everything the way you want it to
look the only thing is on the second
card you're gonna change the name to
whatever the other bridesmaid is so
maybe this one is gin okay and now you
have two cards ready to go all you would
have to do is print this whole sheet out
on white cardstock cut it down the
middle and fold it in half and then
you're done and then you can just keep
doing this and create as many as you
need so in order to save this and go
ahead and print your first set of two
you would click the check mark in the
upper left hand corner and then up in
the top menu bar you see the little
downward arrow click on that and it'll
prepare and do whatever it needs to do
and it will just save your design to
your phone or wherever you want to have
it saved and then you'll be ready to
print it and that's it you guys that's
all there is to it it's super easy to do
you can always go back to it and edit it
you can print more you can make
corrections and you can use this
template as many times as you need to
once you download it it's yours forever
for personal use use it for any occasion
super easy to do and again all you need
is white cardstock so I hope you guys
enjoyed this tutorial
one little disclaimer I will put we used
canva today which is one of the apps
that I like to use because it's free and
it's beginner friendly however because
this is a blank template and all you're
doing is adding text you can use any
editing program that you want to use so
if you're more comfortable with
Microsoft Word or PicMonkey or Microsoft
Publisher or anything that you're more
comfortable with feel free to use
whatever program you want I just like to
show people how to use canva because
again it's very beginner friendly and
it's free so thanks for watching guys
I'm gonna drop the link for these
templates down below in the description
box if you have any questions feel free
to reach out to me and I will see you in
