thank you card printing instructions

A simple bright white 8.5" x 11" card stock (80 lbs.) works best. You can purchase this at an office supply store or Paper Source. 

For invitation envelopes, I would recommend this Paper Source A6 envelope.

For the You Are My Sunshine Invitation, I like the colours: Gravel, Curry, or Pool.

For the Picnic Invitation, I like the colours: Pool or Red.

For the Ladybug Garden Invitation, I like the colours: Black, Red, or Paper Bag.


IF YOU ARE PRINTING THE THANK YOU CARDS YOURSELF:

a. Open the Thank You Card PDF in Adobe Reader and go to File/Print in the navigation bar.

b. Make sure the option to Scale or Resize the page is unchecked, or that the option for Page Scaling is set at "None".

c. Make sure your printer is set to its best print setting if possible, and that the size of the paper selected is US letter-sized or 8.5" x 11".

d. Click "Print" and print the front of the thank you note onto 8.5" x 11" (letter-sized) white card stock. Note there is ONE thank you note on the PDF, and crop marks to show where to trim them.

e. Check to make sure the first sheet printed ok, and then go ahead and print the number of pages you require.

h. Once everything is printed, use the crop marks on the front side of the invitation to trim the invitations to the appropriate size, and fold. Note, once trimmed and folded, the card will be 4" x 6".


IF YOU ARE PRINTING THE THANK YOU CARDS AT A PRINTER:

Provide the printer with both the back and front files for the invitation and make sure they know that the thank you notes are to each be 4" x 6" when folded - just so they don't scale or resize while printing, and so the cards are trimmed to the correct size.
