Free Engagement Invitation Templates
From LoveToKnow EngagementRings
There are many free engagement invitation templates available. These are a great way for couples to create their own unique and special invitations while also saving a few dollars!
Engagement Invitations
Engagement parties are a lovely way to celebrate an engagement with family members and friends. This gives families the opportunity to meet in relaxing circumstances before the wedding and can often be the first time that members of the family meet the future husband and wife of a loved one – particularly when families live apart.
When organizing a party or celebration, one of the first things to do is to plan the engagement party invitations. These will tell everyone where and when to meet and give other important information as required. The invitations need to hold certain pieces of information and while it is possible to communicate this via the telephone or email, most couples enjoy preparing and sending invitations. Engagement invitations can be long cherished by family and friends and make lovely, lasting keepsakes. If a couple is looking to create their own unique invitations or to save some money, free engagement invitation templates could be just the thing.
What Are Free Engagement Invitation Templates?
There are a wide variety of engagement templates that are freely available online. These range from simple templates that offer sample words or layouts through to fully printable templates that can be customized. These templates are perfect for couples who are looking to create their own invitations with ease. The templates are printed out using a home printer or many printing stores offer short run printing and can professionally print the engagement invitations.
Websites Offering Free Templates
Websites that offer free engagement templates include:
- Samples Help – examples of words, layouts and sayings
- Hoover Webdesign – printable free engagement invitation templates in .pdf format
- DIY Invitation Sensation – a range of free templates and sample wordings and layouts
- American Greetings – although this is a paid for service, the website offers a one month free trial. The free templates provide a space for a photograph if required.
- Magical Kingdom – a range of printable engagement templates
Note: Many websites that offer free services often cover their costs by advertising and this can include annoying 'pop up' adverts. Switching on the pop-up filter in a web browser will help to reduce this annoyance. As always when downloading files from the internet, take care to check your downloads and ensure they are coming from a reliable source.
Tips for Using Engagement Templates
Here are some tips to help couples really get the most from free engagement templates:
- Card – while it is important to use the best possible card that fits within budget, it is also important to remember that the card will need to go through a printer. Very thick or textured card is not suitable for home printing. A paper supplier will be able to give advice as to the best form of card to use and will often provide samples.
- Pen and ink – a very basic invitation can be transformed by the use of a good quality pen and ink. A blotchy ball point pen will give a poor impression whereas a text written in a fountain pen will look professional without losing the handmade touch.
- Embellishments – a few simple embellishments, such as ribbon in a color that co-ordinates with the rest of the wedding décor or perhaps a couple of decorative rings, will give an added dimension to the invitations. This can be a good way of transforming otherwise plain and simple invitations. Suitable embellishments are readily available from craft stores.
Free templates can be the perfect way to produce lovely engagement invitations while also retaining full control and saving money, giving any couple a great start toward their future together.
