Invitations - Invitation Content (9)

Once you have chosen a design, you will be presented with our Invitation settings window that allows you to fully customize your invitation to your liking. We have provided a template for you that you can modify, or, if you like, you can delete everything that is there and create your own design.

When you have finished editing, click “Save and Next” to save your work. You can always return and make modifications anytime to your work.

Would you like to add your name to the bottom of your invitation? Or maybe add a link to your child’s Mitzvah project right inside your invitation? We think that’s a great idea and here’s how easy it is to do.

From the “Invitation Content” section of your Mitzvites account, click inside any of the text boxes that you currently have. When the edit toolbar opens up at the top, click on the icon that has an “A” and a “+” symbol in it with little lines underneath it. This is the “Insert Text Line” tool. Once you click this, you’ll see a new text box at the bottom of your invitation that says “Edit Text” in it. Remove the words “Edit Text” and type in your desired text. Then, highlight the text and click the “Font” button from the tool bar and choose any font you like. Use the “Size” tool if you’d like the text to be larger or smaller. Easily make this text a link by highlighting your text and clicking the “Link” chain icon from the edit toolbar. It’s fourth from the right on top and says “Add a link” when you roll over it. Enter the website address in the “URL” field and then click “OK” and you’re done!

Be sure to click the purple “Save My Work” disc icon or click the pink “Save and Next” button at the bottom right of your account to save your work. Now click “Preview” to admire your efforts!
