Ucfjennifer's DIY Mini Passport - Save the Dates!!!


Recommended Posts

Hi Ladies!  I found so many great threads on the passport invites, that I decided to attempt a scaled-down version to use for our save the dates.  I'm happy with the way they turned out and they ended up costing less than 60 cents per passport (not including the paper/corner cutters and mounting squares since I already had them).

 

Materials:

 

Paper Cutter

Corner Cutter

Double-sided Mounting Squares

8.5 x 11 Plum Metallic Card Stock (Michaels)

8.5 x 11 Gray Stationary (Staples)

Magnets (Michaels)

A1 Silver Metallic Envelopes (Envelopes.com)

Outside Cover (template on 1st page of attachment):

 

1) Design Logo - I designed a simple logo in PowerPoint using a palm tree image and our names.

 

2) Design Cover - I decided to create my template in Excel.  I'm in it all day for work so it is the software that I'm the most comfortable with.

 

3) Print/Finish Cover - I setup the template so it will print 4 mini passport covers on each sheet of card stock.  I separated them with the paper cutter, then folded each in half and used the corner cutter to cut the corners.  The size of folded mini passport is 2.6 x 3.75.

 

Print 4 per sheet - ink is actually darker than it appears in these pictures

Inside (template on 2nd page of attachment):

 

1) Top Half - We wrote a brief note to our guests to let them know the destination and dates.

 

2) Bottom Half - Included our basic wedding day information and our wedding website.

 

3) Print/Finish Insert - I followed the same process as above using gray stationary for the inserts.

 

Assembly:

 

1) I used the double-sided mounting squares to attach the insert to the inside of the cover.  The front cover is upright (portrait), but the passport must be turned on its side (landscape) to view the inside information.

2) Added a small magnet to the back.

3) Mailed in A1 metallic envelopes.  The envelopes were a little larger than the passport, but they got the job done!

I'm going to make a generic version of my template and add it to this thread in case anyone would like to use as a starting point to make your own!

Hi Jennifer,

I would love to see the templates you used, but because I am a NOOB I cannot see them. Would you be able to email them to me? If so, can you PM me and I will give you my email.

 

Thanks!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
