Our Boarding Pass Invites

GarlicBride · April 19, 2009

Hi,

I begin with an apology, it's taken me about two months to get these posted on here, sorry!!

Here are the photos, sorry if they are too big, I don't know how to re-size:

I made a few changes from the general templates which are circulating:

1. I made a more formal "wallet" style holder for the tickets and used it to include directions and maps

2. I held all the passes together with "brads"

3. We included a "baggage tag" asking for song requests

4. Also included was a "frequent flyer card" which had details of our registry

5. I looked very carefully at lots of actual boarding passes so the layout and text use was similar; mine are based on Air Canada as they have English/French dual language.

I saved a bit of cash by:

1. making them with a team of brilliant crafting friends!

2. Used white card stock and printed the brown colour on instead of buying brown stock; the price of a4 colour printing is the same if you have every bit covered in ink or just lettering.

3. Printed some of it at work!!

I wish I'd known before I started:

consider your envelope size FIRST!! We had to make ours as they are an odd size which was an extra pain and added nothing to the overall effect.

We've had great feedback and I just want to do an oscar style thankyou to this forum and the people who've posted so helpfully on this matter previously; you are all great! It was the absolutely perfect dual language, destination wedding invite and although it was a lot of work it has been very much worth it.

The file is attached, in publisher format, I hope someone finds it of use.

take care
