I am planning my daughters 3rd birthday. We love the sesame street gang with the border. Is it possible to get it in a word document and set up so I can print 2 on a page. Also, I love all the favors. I am definately making sugar cookies in the letter S and the number 3. Is it possible for me to change the name on the sucker cover from cooper to sofia. Thanks a bunch, my email is. I tried to send you a pm, but who knows if you got it. I am so new at all this.
I have the sesame street blank invitations in my 4shared file in the link in my signature. You can save the one you like as a jpeg then insert it into a word document. It is super easy! Open up a word document...change the margins and set the orientation to landscape. If you want two on the page and you want them both to measure half a page...set your margins to "0". You will get a popup that says "...outside printable area..." click "ignore" as there is enough white space around the invitation that you like that it should print just fine. You can find white envelopes at
walmart that will fit 8.5 x 5.5 invitations.
Then go to the top of word and click on "insert" and in the drop down menu click on "picture" and "from file". Then find the invitation, and either double click on it or click once and "insert".
Then you can insert a textbox over the invitation and add your party details. If you don't know how to do this...I have instructions for inserting a textbox on page 2 of this sesame street thread, or
check out the "How to personalize DISigns using MS Word" thread as it has lots of great instructions:

HOW TO PERSONALIZE THE SUCKER WRAPPER:
For the sucker wrapper...same thing. I have a blank sucker wrapper in my 4shared file. Look in the "candy wrapper" file and the "sucker wrapper" subfile.
Once you find it, save the sucker wrapper as a jpeg to your pictures.
Next, open up a word document and set the margins all to .3 inches and set the orientation to landscape. Then insert the sucker wrapper into the word document. Insert one wrapper and make sure the size is 6.22 x 2.59. You can check it by going to the top of word and click on "format" and in the drop down menu click on "picture" and then click on the "size" tab. If it isn't already the correct size...change the height to 6.22 and click the tab button on your keyboard and it will automatically correct the width. Then click "okay".
Next, you will need to rotate the image to add your wording. Click once on the image to open it up and then look for the icon that has a purple and white triangle. If you wave your mouse over it...it will say "rotate left 90" click the rotate icon twice to rotate the sucker wrapper.
Now copy the image and paste it two more times as you can print 4 to a page. Then insert a textbox over the first sucker wrapper and add your wording. You can copy the textbox and click paste. It will probably paste the textbox over your original textbox so you will need to click and drag it over the next wrapper.
I prefer to teach others how to personalize blank designs rather than personalizing them myself as I travel a lot and I'm not always able to personalize designs for others. If you have problems let me know.
