How to design personalised photo wedding invitations

Wedding Invitations are more than “fact sheets” that simply gives guests the details about the place and time of your matrimonial ceremony. Wedding invitation printers in Edenvale usually advise the bridal couples to take their time when deciding what their invites are going to look like, because many brides (and close family members) will want to hang onto the invites long after the wedding for keepsake.
Personalised photo invites are gaining popularity. Bridal couples often want to include photos taken at engagement photo shoots (or other great pictures of the two of them together). The good news is that you don’t need to spend an arm and a leg to put a personalised invite together – here are some quick steps to start designing your own photo wedding Invitations:




  • Choose your photos: This might sound obvious (and easy), but it can be quite hard to decide which photos to use for your wedding Invitations. If you want new, never-before-seen photos of you and your future husband, start brainstorming a few ideas. You might want to have the photos taken at a place that’s important to you. For example, if you met at university – schedule a photo shoot on campus.

  • Pick your software: You don’t need complicated software to design wedding Invitations. Simply open a blank file in Photoshop, rename it to “Wedding invite” and start by filling in the background colour of your invite (try to use a colour combination that guests will see at on your wedding day).

  • Insert the photo: Select the photo you will be using and insert it on the page. You can either use the photo as a water image behind the text or you can resize the photo on the invitation and insert copy around the photo.

  • Start decorating: After you’ve included your copy, start experimenting with different borders and photo accents to make your invites look professional.

  • Take your photos to the printers: Take your personalised photo wedding Invitations to your local Print shop and have them Print a few tests on various papers so you can decide which type of paper and finish you want to use for your invites.
