Print the document on the back side of the invitation. This may take a couple of tries. Printers differ on how to orient a printed document in the paper tray. Read your printer's instructions or experiment. When completed, you should be able to fold the invitation in half so that the image is on the outside and the text lays on the right side of the interior. You can always skip steps six and seven and hand write the invitation information into the interior of the card.
