Chinese Weddings

**ring_pop**

Hey there! I was just discussing invitations with my parents yesterday on Skype and I showed them the different formats and designs I had in mind -- tri-fold, pocketfold, bilingual, separate invites, etc. My dad was super impressed by yours! He saw your Chinese template too, and thought it was perfect -- he wanted me to tell you 'thank you' for making it available for other Chinese brides! My sisters and I thought it was sort of funny because he doesn't often offer nice comments about things he likes, just the comments about those he doesn't and a "mm hmm" for those he does. :)

If you don't mind, I might just do something similar to what you did! Do you happen to remember what size you cut your large sheets of paper down to in order to yield 2 per sheet?

Thanks, again. :)

     Oh good, I'm glad that you and he found it useful!My backing sheets measure 13-3/4" long x 6-1/4" wide. I ordered 12-1/2" x 19" paper from French Paper, and had them cut 5-1/4" off the long side, and then cut the remaining larger piece in half lengthwise.You know what, I'll just draw you a pattern... it'll be easier that way :)

    Wow, Ring_pop! Thanks so much for going to the trouble of making a pattern to follow! It seems so simple and easy to do. I really appreciate it! :) Hopefully this will be the last time I have to bother you about your invites. ;)

    WOW! ring_pop, I found your Chinese Invitation template there! VERY HELPFUL! Thank you so much!
  • Hi, I was told you have a Word file of a Chinese wedding invitation template. Would you share it with me? We are having a hard time finding a template and also don't know if we are supposed to list our parents as hosting if we are paying for everything ourselves.
