Step 3: Customise Your Template in Canva (Fonts, Colours, Text)
This is the fun part. Customising your Canva template is where your stationery starts to feel like it belongs to your day.
Start with:
-
Names, date, venue, time
-
Font swaps (keep it cohesive, not chaotic)
-
Colour updates to match your wedding palette
-
Personal touches like wording, icons, or small details
Pro tip: Pick 1–2 fonts max and repeat them across your set for that quiet luxury, designer look.
Step 4: How to Export Your Canva Template for Print or Sharing
Whether you’re printing professionally or sharing digitally, export settings matter. The right download option helps your text stay crisp and your colours look true.
Most of the time:
-
For printing, you’ll want a high-quality PDF
-
For sharing on WhatsApp or email, a PNG or JPG works well
This step is especially important for wedding invitations, welcome signs, seating charts, menus, and any signage you want to look sharp in photos.
Step 5: How to Resize Your Canva Template Without Pro
Need to turn your invitation into a social version? Or resize a sign for a different frame? You can still resize without Canva Pro by copying your design into a new size.
This is a lifesaver when you want:
-
an invite for printing and a matching version for WhatsApp
-
the same design across A1, A2, A3 signage
-
different formats for different printers
