The invitations are one of the most important parts of a wedding. They set the overall atmosphere of the ceremony, and make a great keepsake for family and close friends. Using a photo of you and your fiancé to customize your invitations makes them even more special. It’s relatively easy to make DIY photo wedding invitations.
There are two things you need to do before you can start making your invitations. First, you’ll need to choose a style for the actual invitations. You may want to purchase some that are pre-made and simply add your photo and fill out the information. For something a little more unique, you can find kits at wedding supplies stores to make your own invitations, or you can start completely from scratch. If you’re starting from scratch, you’ll need to make a visit to your local craft store to get materials. This includes stationary, paper, any accents you wish to use, and anything else you need to compile your materials together into a working invitation.
Next, you need to choose a photo. For a wedding invitation, you’ll want to use one of the couple being married. Assuming you’re making the invitations yourself, this means you and your fiancé. It can be a fun bonding experience to go through photos of the two of you and select one that’s meaningful enough to be on your wedding invitation. It’s a great trip down memory lane, all while thinking of the future.
Once you’ve done these two things, you can combine them to make the real invitations. The most convenient way to make photo invitations is to do it on a computer. This way, you can include the photo and have your invitation all in one piece, as opposed to attaching the photo separately later. You won’t be able to use this method if you’ve already decided to make your invitations from scratch, but if you don’t mind using a computer, there are many templates available online to get you started. Some websites are specific to photo invitations, and already have a space in the template for your photo.
Keep in mind that DIY wedding invites with photos will be more expensive than invitations without a photo. It can be worth it though, because the invitation you create will be a beautiful keepsake and great memory for years to come.
