Picture Wedding Invitations - How To Get Simply Stunning Wedding Invite

These ideas for picture wedding invitations will give you something to smile about! Here's what to keep in mind when choosing the right style for your event.

Add a Border

While a photo wedding invitation can literally be just a photo, but a few small touches can have an exquisite effect! A border will easily bring in the colors of your wedding, suggesting to guests if it will be a traditional affair with pastels or a lively event with bright bold colors. Pastels also speak of spring weddings, while adding a border of rich autumn colors will surround your photo wedding invitation perfectly for fall nuptials.

Simple Graphics Say a Lot

A wide border leaves plenty of room to make your picture wedding invitations really special! One option is to start with printed card stock and simply place your photo over the print. Not only does this give you a beautiful background, but it continues your theme through your stationary. Picture tropical flowers for a luau, shells for a beach wedding, or delicate snowflakes for a winter wedding - all excellent ways to make your wedding photo invitation even more personal!

Layer Photographs

Another way to make your theme pop is to layer your photo over a scenic background photo. This method can result into amazing picture wedding invitations! For example, if you're getting married on a golf course, arrange your engagement photo over a picture of the golf course, letting the greens serve as a border. Place a photo of the beach in the background if your nuptials will take place on the sand. Alternately, if you share an exotic heritage, center your wedding invitation photo over something that means something to you both such as a landmark from your country.

Get Creative

Above all else, picture wedding invitations should be fun and packed with personality! Check out our photo booth card as an example. You can easily change it to suit your wedding invitation, and the opportunity for three great photos is too good to resist! Another idea is to take a funky picture, either off center or in a surprising pose or location. Something playful, like skipping down the beach or swinging on playground equipment, can be just as dramatic as a traditionally posed photograph when it comes to sharing your joy and extending an invitation to the biggest day of your life.

The most important piece of advice you can take when creating your photo wedding invitation is to stay true to yourself. You don't have to stick with tradition if your style is anything but traditional, and everyone on your guest list will know it!
