How to Make Printable Invitations

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Dave Andrews, today I'm going to show you how to make printable invitations. We're going to use our computer and Microsoft Word to do this. So let's go to the computer, and let's click on the start button, go to all programs, let's find Microsoft Office, we're going to click on Microsoft Office Word. And I'm going to create a real simple birthday invitation, and one of the first things that we're going to do that you're use to seeing on an invitation is add a page border. Click on page layout, then go to page borders, and you can choose one of the designs that are here or you can go down to the art section down here. I'm actually going to go down to art, and I'm going to choose the picture of a piece of birthday cake, and I'm going to click okay. As you can see the birthday cake border has just been added to our page, and that sort of sets the tone for our birthday invitation. I'm going to scroll down a little bit, and go back to the home tab, I'm going to click on center my text, and then I'm going to type "You're Invited." That's a little boring there in the middle, so let's highlight it, make it the color red, and let's increase the size of that significantly to say seventy-two. I'm going to change the font to hurry up. So that basically says "You're Invited" there in the center. Let's scroll down a little bit, set our font size smaller again, and we'll say "to what." And reset my font size again and it's going to be colon "Dave's Birthday Party." When? February 27. Where? Let's go with Pinkerton Park, Franklin. And who? Dave. Now let's center that. I'm going to make it black again. Now as you can see we have already here a very good looking invitation, and if we go to the office button, and then click on print, and then click on print preview that's what our invitation would look like if we printed it right now. My name is Dave Andrews, and I've just showed you how to make printable invitations."
