WeddingDNA.com is a great resource for the DIY Bride. They offer simple pre-designed templates for Wedding Programs, DIY Wedding Invitations and Bridal Shower Invitations. Or, you can use the graphics available at WeddingDNA.com and either download the images directly to your computer for your own custom creations {available in vector, jpg, png, word formats}, or you can bring them right into the WeddingDNA Design Center and create your invitation right online. I've tried out the design center and it's amazingly easy to use and you can change the graphics at anytime you'd like and placing text {in your choice of font too} on the page is super easy and fast. And, being a graphic designer, I'm thinking it's even better than using the design programs that I've grown to love. The Design Center just makes it so much more user friendly.
You can try WeddingDNA.com for free and receive 2 free downloads of your choice. If you love the site, you'll be automatically upgraded to unlimited access after 7 days or you can join instantly and receive 15% off unlimited access for a year at only $2.83 per month.
WeddingDNA.com originally started in 2003 as a DIY resource for brides offering vector-based graphics. Since then it's grown to offer templates for invitations, programs, multimedia presentations, scrapbooking and more. Has anybody used WeddingDNA.com? If you have, I would love to know what you think of it. The above designs are just some of the many pre-designed templates that are available.
