Newsletter Help Needed

[KellyJo18]

I'm new to disboards and can already see that this website is going to be very helpful (and probably addictive ). Our Save the Dates just went out for our June wedding and phone calls have started rolling in with people wanting more details. I've decided to send out a newsletter to answer many of the questions we've received and give our guests more detail about what to expect. The problem is that I am stuck on how to word a lot of things in the newsletter. If anyone has any suggestions or examples I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!!!

Kelly, If you still need the help I can send you what I sent out.

I'm glad to see this thread. I also need some help on putting together my newsletters. I just started on my first one last night. My wedding is still 11 months away, but I am sending out some packets with initial information. A lot of our guests have never been to WDW and are wanting info on estimated costs, etc. The newsletter I started is basically an introduction to the wedding, etc. Does anyone have any samples similar to this format?

Thanks I know that will be a help for future newsletters. I just saved them to my computer and was then able to open them up and zoom in to view.

These are great! Can I ask what program you used? I like how you have all the cute little boxes.

I'm glad to see this thread is getting more action now then it originally did I used PhotoShop to make my newsletters. I can send you the file but you will only be able to edit it if you also have PhotoShop. If someone wants me just to change our names and the date I can easily do that and send it to you to use. It took me about a month to put it together, very time consuming, and I know I found any ideas people on here had extremely helpful! Good luck!!

Here is page one - sorry it's so big, for some reason photobucket isn't letting me shrink it
