In this Affinity® Designer tutorial, we will create the RSVP response card and the Thank You card for our DIY Wedding Suite. In the last tutorial, we created the 5.5 by 4.25 inches card template that we will use for these cards. Now we are ready to add the placeholder text to the cards.

RSVP Response Card Template

1. Open the ArtDecoSmallTemplate.afdesign file.


2. From the Menubar, click View - Show Grid.


3. Resize the monogram to 1 inch.


4. Center the monogram at 3.25 inches from the top of the canvas (see screenshot).


5. Select the Artistic Text Tool and set the Font to Dancing Script, Font Style to Regular, Font Size to 24 pt, Font Color to d4b921 and the Alignment to Center Align.


6. Add the bride's name to the left of the monogram and the groom's name to the right of the monogram. Position the names on the same line, that is about 3.6 inches from the top of the canvas (see screenshot).


7. Change the Font Size to 48 pts.


8. Add the RSVP text, centered 1 inch down from the top of the canvas (see screenshot).

Now let's add the response text (see screenshot).
