Morgan's pre-wedding welcome letters & template for making a brochure

This is so incredible!

Thanks for the template! You are a life saver!!!!!

I'm working on making a functional template. The one I made originally was too hard for people to figure out. I didn't use photoshop much back then so I made it in a very round about way.

 

So I'm looking for a few template guinea pigs. Someone who would want to make a brochure soon, but not in a hurry needing the thing done ASAP. You can test out my new template (work in progress) and we'll see if it's functional.

 

PM me if you are interested & I'll post here when I have enough volunteers.

Also, I'm wondering if anyone has had success with my current template. I've only seen a few finished ones.

Morgan, I think I used your original templates, with the water washing on the sand. Have you seen them? If you want me to post them on this thread let me know and I'll gladly do so!

AWESOME, MORGAN!!! I am totally going to be using this when we start to get closer to the wedding.....I just hope enough people are able to come, so that more people will have a chance to appreciate how awesome the template/letter really is!

 

And Megan -- thanks for posting yours; they look amazing!

These are beautiful and a wonderful idea to get the guests excited.

this morning I received an email advertising that vistaprint is doing a special offer! 25 brochures for free! this special only lasts till tomorrow. thought i'd share the news.

 

too bad i only began my planning..would have definitely like to take advantage of this opportunity and suggest that you all do...if you're ready!

Hi Again! Morgan you did an awesome job! With a lot of free time on my hands I would like to begin a workproject like this. A lot of people mention that they can access a brochure template posted from you...I can't seem to find that link...maybe I'm just too excited reading all the responses I over looked it. I did notice under your signature you have a link to your blog/website that show your work, which includes a cost. Is there a free template for the brochure on here? Could you please repost the link? I'm not sure whether or not I have enough points or not

 

Thanks!

Vistaprint is a funny company. They always send these emails like they are having the biggest sale ever that day. You can always get the same sales.

I use the link www.vistaprint.com/minicatalog to get the sale prices. If you can not get the special you want through that link, google & see if you find it on retail me not or a similar site.

I made my brochures over a year ago when I really wasn't sure how to approach the project. Then i spent about as much time to create a template for the forum & instructions for how to use it. It was still a difficult project to do so I'd get a lot of PMs asking for help or people wouldn't be able to modify it how they wanted. With the way I made it before, it wasn't easy to share a template. Also, the screen shots I took & put together showing steps of how to do it are hard to see now. The images were shrunk down in a forum upgrade so they are hard to read.

I've learned a ton about photoshop since making the original brochure, so I wanted to redo the template & make it something more user friendly that looks better. I figured out a better way to make a template & record videos showing how to use it so it's much easier to customize. People who have never used photoshop have been able to customize the template. The videos really do make it simplier than the step-by-step photo guide I used with the original template. I was really happy with how the project turned out, so I started the website. The original template is not on the forum anymore.
