How to Make a Housewarming Invitation in Apple Pages
Sending invitations might not be a requirement but it is the most proper way of informing people that they've been expected to attend an event. If you're planning to throw a housewarming party, we've got instructions below to help you make invitations in Apple Pages.
1. Plan the Housewarming Party Thoroughly
You can never make invitation cards if you don't even have a plan for the party at all, which is why planning should always come first. To keep you from getting stressed when creating a party plan, it is best to do it a few weeks ahead and to consider incorporating a theme. In addition to the theme, you can use it as the basis for the party's atmosphere or ambiance.
2. Organize the Party Details
After creating a plan for the housewarming shower, you should now have at least some of the most important details such as the venue, date, time, and the dress code or theme. To help yourself be reminded of these details, write them down and make sure to organize them if you're considering options. Later on in the process, you'll need to refer to this list when you're adding the content of your invitations, so be sure not to lose it.
3. Create a New Document on Pages
Apple Pages is a powerful word processing application that's part of the iWork suite and is capable of making creative documents. Additionally, Pages is also capable of rendering graphics which can help in improving greatly the quality of your document. When starting a new document in Pages, you can choose to start with a blank canvas or you can take advantage of the modern presets to help you save time.
4. Add Text
Once you're done setting up Apple Pages, you can then start adding the text. Others would prefer to add the graphics first before doing this but it's all up to preference. For now, let's focus first on the content which includes the party details, and you can refer to the ones written down on your list. Aside from the party details, you can also add a personalized message as well as quotes to make your event invitations more meaningful.
5. Insert Graphics
The next features that you will need to add to your invitation are the graphics, and you can use elegant images or unique illustrations for this. Besides the foreground elements, you can also add a background to the design either by using a solid color, a color pattern, or another image. The only thing that you will need to consider when adding graphics is to keep the layout simple and presentable by adding a good amount of white space.
6. Review and Print your Invitations
Before you can start printing and sending out your invitation cards, be sure to review the content, especially the part that talks about the party details. Check the date, time, and address for accuracy, an error here will risk in misinforming the readers. Afterward, you can choose to print your invitations and send them the traditional way or you can also send them through an invitation email.
