Weddings are such specials both for the couple and for the people around them such as their respective families and friends. One good way of gathering memories from the event is through photos, but these can also be used effectively prior to the wedding. Below are some invitation templates that’ll allow you to showcase stunning photos.
7 Steps to Create a Photo Wedding Invitation
Step 1: Prepare a guest list
You should start the process of creating wedding invitations by listing the guests that you wish to invite in the event. This is referred to as the guest list and this will serve to determine how many copies of the invitation you will need to print as well as how you should compost your invitation statement.
Step 2: Gather fabulous photos
When gathering photos, never just choose mediocre ones, you should always go for those that are exceptional, vibrant, and captivating. According to experts, you should use photos between 150 to 300 DPI (dots per inch). Photos of this quality can increase the value of your invitation and make people want to hold on to it as a keepsake.
Step 3: List down the wedding details
Wedding invitations usually consist of the names of the bride and groom, the date and time of the wedding, the venue for the wedding ceremony and the reception, and the instructions for the RSVP. To make sure that nothing gets left out, it is best to prepare a list of all of these details on a separate sheet of paper.

While RSVPs aren’t really required for casual events, they are a must for formal ones including weddings. If you’re lucky enough, your invitation design template might already come with an RSVP right off the bat. Otherwise, you might need to look for one that would match the look of the invitation.
Step 6: Check the accuracy of the details
It’s very important to ensure that all the details written on the invitation are correct especially for the schedule of the event and the street address, you wouldn’t want to mislead your guests. And while you’re at it, you might as well evaluate the look of the invitation and decide if it’s already worth showing off and treasuring.
Step 7: Print your invitations
Printing your invitations is actually no stress regardless if you choose to do it yourself or by professionals. Just remember to always use durable and high-quality materials or ask professionals to use them for printing your invitation cards.
