Whenever you are trying to decide what your wedding invitations are going to look like, and you would like them to be very personalized, having photo wedding invitations is a really great way to achieve this. The first thing that you will need to do whenever you’re considering going this route is to have some professional photographs of the two of you taken. You may even decide that you want to re-create a special moment between you and your husband to be. Whatever you do, do not take your pictures with your wedding dress on.
You may be already going through the expense of having engagement photos taken, you may as well put them to good use, and also give all of your guests photos of you by using them in your invitation. If you are having them professionally designed all you should need to do it get a digital copy from you photographer and get that to your designer. Before having your pictures taken, it is a good idea to ask the photographer if this is possible. Some photographers may not want their clients to have digital copes. It is important to have the photos taken well in advance to allow plenty of time for your photographer to take and process your photos, followed by your designer designing the invitation and of course you want to make sure your guests have plenty of notice in advance so that they can clear their schedules and be sure to be at your wedding!
An invitation can have a theme that intertwines with the photograph wedding invitations, which can be very beautiful if done well. This is probably one of the higher levels of customization, you defiantly won’t find anyone else out there that has your invitation.
If you would like some better software to help you design your wedding invitations I highly recommend Adobe products. I use Adobe for all of the designing that I do. They create top of the line software for professional designers all over the world.. The only disadvantage to the casual user is that they can be expensive. Fortunately, they do have a great program for the casual user called
Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 -, which is affordable and easier to use than their professional software. This will definitely help you with any sort of photos that you would like to put into your wedding invitations.
I'm a graphic designer who has been working in the field for 7 years. I have recently graduated from the University of Houston. I have created many invitations for friends over the years including some wedding invitations. I really enjoy designing them, and am working on being able to supply them sometime in the future.
