I was reading a post on how to do your own invitations but the software they were suggesting was  $800.00 dollars.   So with that in mind our goal here at superquince.com is to come up with some template for your own quinceanera invitations but with a software everybody has.  Our recomendation for software is Microsoft Works Word Processor. Why?  Because every new pc has that program and it works with text boxes. Text boxes are the key to better design your invitation.  It is not perfect, but it works.  This example is very simple and you can download it here:  Quinceanera Invitations

Here is what i did:

1. Created a regular document or letter 8.5×11 inches

2. Click on the main top menu option: Insert>Text Box

3. Drag each box to its position

4. Write some text on each box

If you have used word or any other word processor program then you know what to do, if not, then this is how you can make changes to the invitation.

To make changes to any text on your quinceanera invitation, just highlight that text and type your new text, that simple. You can also change the type of font or lettering, just highlight whatever text you want to change then go to your top left and select another font.  Also you can select to boxt text on your invitation and then select your fav font.

You can also play around with the font color, and font size.  The normal font size in any document is 12.  For you name and headings this is usually bigger but for general text 12 will do. This quinceanera invitation is very simple but all you have to do is move around the text boxes to modify it.

How to add a simple border to your invitation:

If you want to add a simple border to your invitation all you have to do is select: Format>Borders and Shading>

I have not tried to add a picture to this invitation, but I let you try it yourselft and then leave us comment.

Don’t forget to visit the Quinceanera Invitations section for more quinceanera invitation related tips.

In a recent quinceanera  party they decided to control the guest entrance by asking for the invitation.  Out of 125 invitations they only collected 25.  The guest were really invited but they forgot their invitation at home.  A great tip from us is to do just that, ask for the invitation but this time mention that for those with invitation you’re gonna give out free prices at the party.

Quinceanera Invitations

These quinceanera invitations feature the virgin of guadalupe. Many invitations like this one you have to provide the photographs.  The photographs are not printed but inserted on the first pane of the invitations.  The front page comes with your name just below the virgen de guadalupe. This is a 3 pane folding card, with plenty of space for padrinos and chambelanes. As in any other invitations, the lettering can be in just about any ink color, the default color on this invitation is gold. Keep coming back for more quinceanera invitations.

quinceanera invitations con tu caricatura

Would you like to have your own caricature in your quinceanera invitation? This very cool web site lets your create your own invitations all online. We tested the site and this is what we found out for you.

Online Tools

The process was fast, you can personalize hair, eyes, lips, hair accessories for your caricature. You can save your model or caricature and then can add some wording.  One thing we did not found was the feature the change the text to something more fancy.

Size

5-1/2″ x 4-1/8″   in other words the size of a postcard.   I know quinceaneras and this is definitively too small but different.

Price

$2 dollars per invitation is ok because it is personalized.  The good thing is that you can order at very low quantities like only 15.

Shipping

UPS Ground ($8.00)* – delivery time 5 to 7 business days. I think this is for the us. International shipping may take longer.

Other Cool Features

You can send online invitations for  free and you can ship to latin america

So if you want something different, try them out.  Here is the link: PosePrints

Should you put the whole list of padrinos on your quinceanera invitation? Parents sometimes want to squeeze the whole list in the invitation.  It does not really matter when the list is small, but I’ve seen lists that sometimes require a separate paper besides the invitation.  And yes, that’s a solution.  Sometimes this little detail will influence the mom of the quinceanera  to choose a quinceanera invitation with  more room for the sponsors or padrinos. A solution would be to print the list on a separate sheet but expect to pay a little more for that.  Another solution would be to convince your mom that the whole list of your padrinos would be included in your video.  The wording of your quinceanera invitation looks nicer with less text but sometimes padrinos are very important too.

So, you’ve chosen a quinceanera invitation that has a  photo.  Sometimes quinceanera invitations vendors say that you have to provide the pictures.  That’s ok, here at SuperQuince, we’ll tell you how to print your own photos, this post will teach you how to take a pretty good picture for your quinceanera invitation and we’ll also show you how to print it on your home computer or local photo lab.

Taking a Good Picture for your quinceanera invitations

The first step of taking  a good picture is to borrow the best camera you can get.  Digital cameras are the best thing to get. Why?  You can shoot 50 pictures  and choose the best one.  Under your camera settings, increase the picture resolution to its max, this will allow you to crop your picture and still get a perfect print for your quinceanera invitation.

I’m assuming you have a consumer camera not a professional camera, so dial your camera settings to A or Automatic, this setting is usually green. Also turn your flash on.  Ok, that’s that for camera settings. Now you have to decide on what kind of picture you want.  Full body or portrait?  Portraits are only the head and part of the shoulders, these are the easiest to do, since you can shoot them anywhere.

Let’s say you want to shoot a portrait.  The next step is to look for a background with no distracting objects: people, sofas, cars, etc.  If possible take the picture on a park or backyard. Preferably take the picture outside for better lighting. If you wanna be a pro then try to shoot the picture early in the morning or late in the afternoon, the worse times are from 12 noon till 3 p.m.  Another great tip is that when you’re shooting the picture, then sun should NOT be hitting the quinceanera’s eyes.  The sun should hit her back.  Make sure the flash in on all the time and that you’re not too far from the quinceanera.  A good guide is that you should zoom the camera all the way out, and only half of the quinceanera should fit the camera viewfinder.  You should be very close to the quinceanra, no more than five feet.  Try to center all your shots, since the area of focus on most consumer cameras is at the center. If the sun is not too strong you can try to take some pictures with no flash, for a more natural feel. If the sun is TOO STRONG try to take pictures on some shade. This last step is the most important of all, you know what it is?  you should SMILE… Angry quinceaneras are OUT…

Printing your photos for your quinceanera invitations

Once you’ve shot the perfect picture, transfer it to your pc and open your favorite picture program.  I’m gonna be using photoshop and I’m gonna be posting the psd file so you can download it if you want, you can use this file as a guide.  The usual picture size for quinceanera invitations are 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches, but don’t forget to double check.

We’re gonna print two pictures of the above size to a 4×6 regular print.   So, create a new document and set your size to width 6 inches and height 4 inches at 300 dpi RGB.  300 is the resolution and RGB is the color mode.

Save your new file as 4×6 and create another file with the following dimensions: 3.5 x 2.5 or the actual size of your quinceanera invitations photos.  The trick to do here is to drag and drop the small picture to the 4×6 picture.

I’m gonna have to stop here for “Photos for your quinceanera Invitations”, but tomorrow I will be uploading the original PSD file for you to download, please bookmark us! and come back soon.  I would love to hear what kind of software you guys have at home and maybe I can upload a file specific to your program.

your own invitation wording as a comment!

When it comes to quinceanera invitations, if you want a more creative and custom quinceanera invitation, you can print them yourself or if you don’t have the time and want a more professional looking quinceanera invitation then buy them from your local shop.  Let’s explore the advantages and disadvantage of both scenarios.  Today many quinceaneras sometimes want the perfect quinceanera invitation, and sometimes this means printing and building them yourself.  If you have  time and are a little creative then go for it, create your own quinceanera invitations.  Where shoud you start?  Well, the first question you should ask yourself or your parents is.  How many quinceanera invitations are we going to need? Don’t decide to  construct your own quinceanera invitations  to save money, because that’s a myth. Custom built invitations are more expensive.  Why?  You have to buy papers, glue, printer ink, ribbons, envelopes, glitters, and any other extra stuff you might want to put on them. And you have to invest a lot of  time.

Ok, Let’s make some quinceanera invitations:

The key to making your own quinceanera invitations is the actual design of the invitation. Try to find some samples online of something you might be able to do and go for it. If you know a little graphic design then the sky is your limit. For this post I’m going to look for a quinceanera invitation, not to hard to do, but one that will give you an idea of building your own. Also remember that for custom invitations, you are limited to the quality of your own printer.  If you have a photo printer then your in good hands if you’re printing a photo with your quinceanera invitations, laser printers are good for invitations lettering but not for pictures.

Ok, lets decide on the quinceanera invitation size: Quinceanera invitations can be any size, but you should remember you need envelopes which fit. The usual quinceanera invitation sizes are  5 ½ by 7 ½ inches for classic style.  Let’s use this size for our quinceanera invitation.  One basic but very important tip for creating your quinceanera invitation is that whatever software or program you are gonna use to do the actual design or layout of your quinceanera  invitation, this program has to let you change its document size. So let’s go ahead and do that I’m gonna be using Photoshop, unfortunately photoshop is a hard program for many people but use the software you’re most confortable with.

Crate a new document for your quinceanera invitations with the dimensions of 5.5 x 7.5 inches.  If it ask you for resolution and color mode, then choose 300 for resolution and CMYK for color mode. Remember to put 7.5 for the width. Save your new file and don’t forget to save every 10 minutes. For now on, I won’t go onto many details since every program is different but the idea remains.

Let’s create the quinceanera invitation background.  The easiest to do is to choose the color matching the theme of your party.  Blue, pink, red, green.  The text or font has to be white or light if your background color is too dark, in other words there has to contrast between background and text color. A good design does not have all the colors of the rainbow.  Choose up to 3 colors and that’s it.

quinceanera invitations

For the invitation above I used the font named “Vivaldi”, it looks pretty good.   A good thing about custom invitations is that you can print them both in English and Spanish.  Something that would be very expensive if you went the other way. In this quinceanera invitation I did not include the  recepcion info because I was too lazy but it usually goes in there too, this is where you save a little money, and don’t print reception cards.  Reception cards look nice  but many people don’t use them to save a little money. Invitation wording samples will be posted later in a different post, so keep coming back for them.  For text layout try to center all your text, you won’t go wrong with this, but you are always welcome to experiment, besides this is a custom quinceanera invitation, isn’t it.  Many quinceaneras don’t want to show their dress on their invitation, so any other picture will do.  For this kind of quinceanera invitations you don’t need any special paper.  Any white paper will do, but keep in mind that the picture will come up better with photo quality paper if you are using an inkjet printer. But this kind of paper is thick and maybe you don’t want that. Other options are to print your quinceanera invitations on translucent paper, keep in mind that this is a more expensive paper and that sometimes the ink won’t stick very well. There is a special translucent paper for computer printing but again is more expensive.  Translucent paper works well with laser printers, but laser printers don’t print pictures too well unless the printer is very expensive, but they are getting better.  Home users usually have inket printers not laser printers. If you’re on a budget and still want to do custom invitations, then try  to print something like this:

Quinceanera Invitations

The quinceanera invitation above uses 50% less ink and therefore is cheaper, this method looks great on translucent paper. Technically what I did was to decrease the opacity of the background and picture to 50%.  Another way to get this effect is to increase the brightness of the picture, it is not the same thing but is pretty close, and most picture programs have brightness controls.

This is all for quinceanera invitations for now, but I will be adding more to this post later.  Don’t forget to bookmark us.
