Baby Shower Clip Art Uses
Baby shower clip art is often used on invitations, announcements, and thank you notes.
Invitations
Baby shower invitations are typically ordered online or at a local print shop. There is a huge selection of clip art designs located on the Internet, and many of these designs are free!
You can purchase card stock for the cards from any office supply store. Then, all you have to do is choose your clip art design, place it on the baby shower invitation, and print or copy to a portable media, such as a flash drive or CD. You can design one invitation, then take that invitation to a print shop to be copied. Or, if you are hosting a smaller shower, you can print all of the invitations on your own computer.
Announcements
Once your newborn has arrived, you'll want to let the world know. You can use baby shower clip art to design your own special announcement. Be sure you look at several designs before you choose that special clip art. With so many choices available, you may want to create a folder that you can place your favorite designs in. Once you've acquired a good selection, go back through each of your chosen designs and keep eliminating until you're left with the design or design that you love!
You can purchase card stock at local office supply stores and print shops. If you want to print in color, and you have a large number of announcements to send out, you might want to print one copy and have it color copied at a print shop.
Thank You Notes
Another great way to use baby shower clip art is on thank you notes. Again, you can choose the designs that you love and either print all of the copies on your computer or have the design copied and printed at a local print shop.
In many cases, the print shop may simply want you to bring your design on a flash drive or CD. Be sure and check with the shop for their format preferences before you head out.
Clip Art Dos and Don'ts
While using baby shower clip art is relatively simple, there are some tips to keep in mind:
- Choose a theme. While you may discover several clip art designs you like, it's best to stick to a main theme. You may be able to incorporate several clip art pictures as long as they all relate.
- Don't overdo it. The most important aspect of an invitation or announcement isn't the picture but the information. Don't overdo the clip art designs! If you do, your card will end up looking messy and unorganized. The clip art should enhance the card, not take it over!
- Font and color matter. Keep your font consistent throughout the invitation or announcement. This means you'll need to choose a font style and size that look right on the card. As far as color goes, be sure your card color and font color work together in a pleasing manner. You don't want your colors to clash, and you certainly don't want the words to look washed out by placing light-colored wording on a light colored card! Do a trial print of the card before you take your design to a print shop or before you begin printing a large amount of cards.
