If you’d rather go rogue, we’ll walk you through the steps you’ll need to take to create your own design! Start out by creating a text block by clicking on the Text tab in the left sidebar. Start by putting in your and your fiance’s names. This is a great way to get started. You might find it easier to move the elements of your design around if you create separate text boxes for each name or line.
