Save The Date: Destination Weddings Paper Plane Template

//  by Cynthia // Leave a Comment

Looking for a creative save the date? Destination weddings open up a lot of creative possibilities!

Using cut out paper planes as a save the date for destination weddings is a pretty novel and unusual idea. I love it because it’s fun, playful, laid back and unique – all the qualities of destination weddings.

Not only will these set the tone, and put your guests in a travel mood, they’ll also conjure some feel-good childhood memories 🙂

But the very best part?

They are super easy to make and incredibly easy on the budget. Just download the FREE template and follow the easy step by step instructions below.

Save the Date, Destination Weddings Paper Plane Template

There are two different templates and you can choose depending on what software you own.

Microsoft Word template:  this is the easiest to use but has the least design flexibility. If you’re not comfortable with do-it-yourself projects, this is a very easy template to use. If you know how to type on a word document, you can use this template-  it’s that easy.

Microsoft Powerpoint: this template is also easy to use and gives you the most design flexibility. If you own powerpoint software, I suggest you use this template. You’ll be able to make minor adjustments like rotating the text so that it reads at an angle like the example pictured above.

How to download the template

All you have to do is sign up for my monthly destination weddings tips & ideas newsletter and you’ll be able to download the template instantly. Go ahead and do that now, it will take you 30 seconds.

Click here to subscribe to our monthly newsletter and receive the link to your free template.

After you download the file, follow the step by step instructions below.

How to customize the template using your own words, fonts and colors

    1. Using your mouse, highlight the words in the text box and replace them with your own wedding lingo.

    1. Once you’’re happy with your wording, select your font type from the drop down menu.

    1. Next, choose your desired font size from the drop down menu

TIP: Don’t choose a font size that is too large or you will alter the formatting of the template. Depending on your font type, the maximum font size you should use is 24.***

    1. Choose the font color for the text – highlight all the words, then choose a color from the font color drop down menu

You’re done with this part. Pretty simple, huh?!

How to print, cut and fold your save the date destination weddings template to look like a paper airplane

    1. Print the page. You will probably see this message, “The margins of section 1 are set outside the printable area of the page. Do you want to continue?“Click: YES
    2. Fold the sheet of paper the long way, making sure the words are facing out towards you

    1. With the paper folded in half, use your paper cutter or scissors to cut along the dotted line

    1. Now you’re going to unfold the sheet of paper, and fold it again but this time the words are going to face in so that the blank side of the sheet is facing out towards you.
