Instructions:
In your word processing program change your paper size to A5, we have set out templates to help you easily achive scroll invitations. Use our free templates here.

1) Using centered text print the word “invitation” in a font of your choice – font size 72 is a good size, making it stand out.
2) After you have typed the heading, leave a line, and change the font to a next script font e.g: Monotype Corsiva – font size 16.
3) Complete the rest of the text for your invitation, what looks really good is to actually type each guest name.
4) Remember to include your RSVP address at the bottom of the page.
5) Print your scroll insert.
6) Try not to handle the print as it may take a little longer to dry on vellum than on other types of paper.
7) You could tear a thin strip off the edges of the sides to give an aged impression.
To make the scroll wrap – cut or tear the contrasting coloured velum into a square approximately 2.5”.
8) Roll the scroll insert into a cigar shape then in a diamond fashion roll the vellum wrap around the outside.
9) Where the two diamond points of the wrap meet, secure with a foil seal.
10) Place your wrap inside the postal tube and for that extra special touch – you could also add some confetti.
11) Print an address label for the scroll tube and post! This will give a really professional finish!

The A5 scroll tubes we sell are the correct sized to fit through the average letter box.
