Thanks for watching! Are you going to try to create wedding invitation cards in Illustrator? Let me know what digital products you would like to see tutorials on!
I've been watching a bunch of your videos and I just have to say they are all so professional and organized. I have left every video knowing that I've learned something valuable. Thank you so much for your help!
I'm making an invitation for my grandma's 88th birthday and since we're gonna be printing them at home they'll be in A4 paper format (ratio: square root of 2) so it'll look more like a letter or flyer. So this has been exactly what I needed. Super helpful, thank you!
Love ALL your videos! More like this please! Teaching how to design something. I love how they aren’t super long, straight to the point and super informative! Thank you! I have learned something valuable from each of your videos! Can’t wait for more
Yes absolutely! Weddings will always be around even if they have to be reduced! And the basics can be used to create other products as well :) thanks so much for watching!
This was super helfpul for me. Today I had to design an redesign an invitation set to a specific size and having bleed and this helped me TONS!! You have no idea. Thank you for this.
@@zee422 yes absolutely! The next Illustrator tutorial will be on creating art printables :) then I can show how to create other printables like planners, checklists, etc.
@@zee422 no problem! I sell on Etsy and I enjoy it so I do recommend it! I will definitely branch out and sell on other platforms as well so I wouldn't just stick to 1 platform for the long run :) hope that helps!
Hi Sandra Di, I have just watched you, Create Wedding Invitation Cards in Illustrator: from Start to Finish, you are indeed truly gifted, I take my hat off to you. I see that I have much to learn and an even longer journey to be as Professional and as Proficient as you. Stay safe always and my very best wishes to you and your immediate family. I would also like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy and prosperous new year in 2024
Ohhhhh woooow, that was honestly very easy to understand and to follow, I enjoy watching your videos and I wait for it week after week, Bravo and very well done please keep it coming 👏👏👏
Awesome video!! Love your workflow and learned a new technique from you today. Lol. I usually just copy paste and transform (rotate) the image instead of copying the mask and then rotating that. Seems much easier. Lol. Thanks!!
yay I'm glad!! I know I used to do that too haha and then I randomly tried the clipping mask and copied that and saved me so much time lol thanks for watching!
Hi. I found this video really helpful, thank you. However could you please tell me how you then printed it or is it just printed off on an inkjet printer?
Thank you for the great video. I am planning create wall art and they should be in several ratios like 2:3, 3:4, 11:14 like that, so if there is easy way to do it i would like know using adobe software and canva.
Hi Yohan. Yes there is! If you use Illustrator, I can tell you a super easy way to create a bunch of artboards at different sizes. That's what I do! :) have you downloaded illustrator?
You're welcome! I opened it in Photoshop because I prefer the eraser tool on there as opposed to on Illustrator and I wanted to show how to use it :) hope that helps!
This is so great!! Gets to the point without making it hard to do. I would love to see how you can make a quinceanera invitation. My daughter's bday nxt yr and I want a to make the invites. 🤭🤭🤭🤭
Wonderful tutorial! Question --- with the edits in Photoshop and using it in Illustrator my biggest concern is the print will come out pixelated if the image isn't 300 dpi? Also, is .jpg the best file type to export if you're selling?
Hi Kasha! Great question. I actually don't print my invitations at home. I only deal with the digital side of my products - I send everything to professional printing companies to take care of :). I'm not sure about the best printers but I always ask for 100-130lb card stock. Sorry I don't have an answer for that!
Hi I have a question and hoping you could answer it. Do you think it’s a good idea to make the background in adobe then transfer it to Canva so the client can edit it themselves ?
Hi! When the invitation is finished do you print the invitations by yourself on a paper that the client specifies, or do you directly send the finished digital file of the invitation to the client and they print it themselves? Also, what type of file is best for exporting and sending to a client?
Hi! When I was a freelancer, I printed them myself. But if you want a digital product business, you would just send the digital print to the customer. It's totally up to you :)
Hey when i drag flower images in illustrator., it comes with a transparent background .. How i can i remove it in adobe Illustrator??? ( without photoshop)
Hello madam this Ashok from India your doing a wonderful job This video is so helpful to me Could you please tell what type of softer you will use to desiging
I just came across your channel today and I love it. Question: Are all the fonts on Illustrator okay to use for commercial purposes? Also, can I use InDesign to make wedding invitations? Are you going to make InDesign videos in the future? THanks for your help.
Hi! I personally don't use InDesign but I believe you can create wedding invitations on there! I might try it out in the future but right now, I use Illustrator and Photoshop only :) I believe the fonts are free for commercial use however I always google it if I have not purchased it lol most of the fonts I use for commercial, I have purchased it online. But ones that I haven't, I google if it's okay to use for commercial and I have found most of them are! It's just to be safe of course :)
@@SandraDi Thank you Sandra for your suggestion. I appreciate it. I am going to work on using Illustrator. I am looking forward to learning. I look forward to more videos. Your channel is going to grow quickly because you share valuable information. Happy Holidays!
@@faithwoman8 thank you soo much for saying that I really appreciate it! Please let me know if you have any questions as you work through illustrator :). I'll be sharing more tips and tutorials every week. Happy holidays to you as well!
Thank you so much for this wonderful and easy to follow tutorial. I have a question regarding digital invites. Can you please elaborate is it necessary to add print bleed on these invites? If yes than how can I do that in Adobe Illustrator?
Hi! I add bleed when I send it to the printers to print for me because they usually ask for bleed. All you have to do is change the artboard size up at the top where I showed how to change artboard :) For example this is a 5"x7" artboard. However the printing house asks for a 0.25" bleed so I change the artboard size to 5.25"x7.25". Hope that helps!
Sandra Di you are great but the problem with you is that you don't provide any resources in your description while making any printable so it's my humble request that you please provide us any printable if possible so that we can make digital prints easily.
Yes absolutely! I get beautiful fonts from Creative Market :) The link is in the description box. Once you download the fonts onto your computer, they automatically show up in AI. Good luck!
Hello, if you sell wedding invitation templates on Etsy, what file do you provide to your customers? Also once they purchase do you manually enter their names, date, place or you send them a PDF with fonts to edit somehow?
Hi there! I don't sell wedding invitations on Etsy anymore. I offer these as custom orders to clients that reach out to me. But I used to have a wedding stationery shop and I used www.Templett.com to create the templates. They edit them themselves when they purchase :)
Hi Sandra, I have a doubt..Suppose we upload this digital invitation card to our Etsy shop and a customer purchases it then how they will edit the details in the card if we upload it in a pdf document
Hi! I don't print them myself - I always get them printed at my local prints :) I would just do the research on what printers would be best and the cardstock to use - I always request 110 - 130lb cardstock
Hi Sandra, Do you have a video about how to create fillable/customizable fileds in a PDF file? I created few PDF files planners, but I have to print the forms and then hand write my notes in the filed. I need to learn how to create pdf forms with customizable/fillable fields. Thank you
Do you print this image on a 5x7 card or on standard letter size. If I try printing it on 5x7, it make the image smaller and does not print all the way to the edge. Please help!
Thank you so much for sharing. I enjoy your videos and learning how to make passive income. Do you have a video on making editable invitations, so the client could type in there own information but have keep the style font you used?
So I am new to this, I want to make my daughter’s wedding e invites by myself. Do I have to purchase anything at all to make this card in beige and maroon. I am new to computer too just to mention Please help if you can. Thank you. I sure will subscribe your channel

Hello Sandra. How do you select the script font at the same time? I tried to do it but it did not work out. Thanks for your help.
No problem! Select one first, and then hold shift on your keyboard. Then select the second :)
Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it.
😍💕
Is it possible to design in illustrator an invitation that can be edited? Or is this where you would use canva or templatt?
Hey Thanks for the video.
Do you have an idea on what to use as an envelops please they are either large or small :(
Hi! I believe it's A7 envelope size :)
Thank you for the video and also the one on Canva. Why did you open the floral image in Photoshop and not AI to edit?
You're welcome! I opened it in Photoshop because I prefer the eraser tool on there as opposed to on Illustrator and I wanted to show how to use it :) hope that helps!
@@SandraDi yes, thank you. I wasn’t sure if it was because of the file type (jpeg, png, svg...). Have a good Friday.

The Watercolor floral png, can someone share the link?

Thank you for this, I was wondering how do you make a back-facing page if you want it to be it's own design?
Hi! Do you mean designing front and back?
@@SandraDi Yes
@@ivana-yo2oj you can just create a second artboard and design on that, then save it as 1 PDF file (both artboards), and print it front and back :)
