Create two wedding invitations on one page in Microsoft Word.

Creating your own wedding invitations can save you time and money. If you're running out of time and have an upcoming wedding, or would prefer to make the invitation cards yourself, use Microsoft Word. This program allows you to place two wedding invitations on one page, which saves paper. You can copy the contents of your first invitation onto the second page without retyping it. Your wedding invitation will appear on separate pages in print preview mode, but will print on a single sheet in the printer.
