How to Create Wedding Invitation Online Using Canva

Canva is my favorite tool to create something online. Something I meant is design-involved things like banner, flyer and invitation. Canva is a great tool for those who have a poor design skill but want to create something their own. There are some ready-to-use templates which you can use. One of the things you can do with Canva is designing your wedding invitation.

Wedding is a big event of everyone’s life. However, instead of conducting an extravagant party, some couples prefer to throw a simple party by inviting their closest friends and families. If you prefer the second option, you can create your wedding invitation your own to make it be more meaningful and memorable. Don’t worry if you have no designing skill. As I said, there is Canva which will be your savior.

Here is how to use Canva to create wedding invitation.

  • Fill out all the required columns and click the Sign up button.

  • Describe yourself by selecting one of the available professions.

  • On the next step, click the Invitation option.

  • Here you are. You will see the user interface of Canva which is very easy to learn and use. Start your design making process by selecting a template on the left sidebar. Canva offers two template types, free and paid. Free templates are for the free users while paid ones are for the premium users. Drag and drop your preferred template to the available worksheet.

  • Each template has had the default contents. To replace the default contents just double click the elements you want to replace. A toolbar will appear every time you double clicking a certain element of your template. You can use this toolbar to format the texts in your template and also for deleting unnecessary elements.

#Adding additional elements

In addition to the default elements of your preferred template, Canva also allows you to add additional elements. The allowed elements include shapes, grids, photos, frames and lots more. Just click the ELEMENTS menu on the left sidebar and choose a or two elements you want to add.

#Adding your own images

When you click the ELEMENTS menu you will see a “Free Photos” option. This option enables you to add additional images from Canva image library to your design.
