Program ideas

[epfootballcutie04]

Ok guys... i need some help. I really want to make our wedding programs but I'm at a total loss how to do them.

are there any websites that you guys recommend that are reasonably priced... something that i can just type our information into and they make them for us? Or are there any good sites that you know of that show you step by step how to make your own?

Help I'm pretty crafty but I'm a total loss for whatever reason when it comes to these programs.

thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hi!

My future sister in law wanted something easy that looks nice - She found her invitations over that the knot. I'm sorry I don't have much more information for you, I'm currently staring at a cricut and trying to talk myself out of clicking "buy now". Haha! My future SIL says all she did was type in the information the wanted printed on the card, it showed her what it would look like and she clicked order.

My brother actually purchased a box set that he placed into his printer and followed the instructions on the software - they turned out very nice. I'm sorry I don't have a pic, their program is safely stored in my keepsake box.

If you are looking for inspiration - there are so many planning journals here for you to peek into. I know many other ladies went the DIY route. Perhaps you can find something to spark your creativity if you wanted to give it a go in that forum somewhere

Hi there.

I used a very simple template from Word. I customized it to my needs.

If you PM me with your e-mail address, I would be more than happy to send you the program.

I just printed it on card stock, folded it in half, and I'm done. I might add a ribbon on the side, but I'm not sure about that, depends on if I have time.

Girlfriend, get it! I use my Cricut Expression for EV.ERY.THING. It's so fantastic. What is it that you're planning to do with it?

In terms of programs, since that's what this thread is about, the Cricut and the Mickey Font cartridge can cut you perfectly proportioned Mickey fan programs that seem to be all the rage here. You can cut vinyl with it and use it to etch glass. With the Cricut and a Gypsy you can cut tent cards in basically any shape you can think of. I'm going to be making a few samples in a little bit. I'll come back and post them somewhere.

The baby bug, the original cricut only cuts up to 5.5" so if you're looking for smaller projects, that one is fine to buy and I've seen them for as little as $70. I generally buy my cartridges on eBay and don't spend more than $25 each.

Meanwhile, here's a couple projects I've made with my Cricut for a Mickey birthday party for my son:
