Wedding Stationery Editing & Printing Guide
Edit Your Templates
-
Open your Canva template and replace all placeholder text with your own details (names, dates, venue, etc.).
-
Keep the original fonts and colour palette for a polished, cohesive look.
-
If your text is longer or shorter than the template, adjust the size or spacing slightly to maintain balance.
-
Use Canva’s Position → Tidy up tools to ensure everything is perfectly aligned.
Save Each Item for Printing
-
Download each template as PDF Print.
-
Always check “Crop Marks & Bleed” in Canva to ensure proper trimming at the printer.
-
Save a separate file for each stationery item (invitation, menu, name tag, signage, etc.).
-
Keep the file size (A1/A4/A5) in the name of the file when you save
