Whether your planning for your wedding day, a birthday event or just a casual get-together, sending out your invitations has never been easier.

No more worries about your hand writing, when you create your invitation online.

There are many company's offering this service but we decided to have a closer look at what Paperless Post has to offer with their "upload your own" design feature: https://www.paperlesspost.com/upload-your-own










I'm choosing to work with a "save the date" invitation vector image from iCLIPART.com. iCLIPART.com has thousands of images to work with. To keep it simple you can choose a blank image or remove the sample text that some images provide. Here is my edited version of image #1829660.

The steps are simple for creating your paperless invitation:

1. Choose page
2. Upload your design or image
3. Edit the image text, photo, motif or backdrop
4. Choose your envelope and liner colors/patterns
5. Choose your stamp and postmark
6. Choose your reply card options
7. Enter further details and your recipients.


I really loved the option to request your guests mailing addresses, so that you can send out formal invitation by mail if you chose to.

Give them a try and tell us what you think:

Free Stock Images - NOT worth it

Source: iCLIPART.com

Free stock images are just not worth the risk. You run the risk of being blamed for copyright infringement and having to pay thousands of dollars to the image creator.

But, the image came with a license, you say. Great! but those licenses are really only valid if the issuer is the copyrighted owner or has the legal permission from the owner to distribute the image.
Are you willing to bet that the "free image providers" are using enough resources to verify every image that has been allowed to be uploaded by virtually anyone?
