Creating invitations to big events is always fun. You get to take a particular type of social event, put your own twist into it, and then send out wonderful invitations for people to pour themselves over. There are a lot of different ways that you can do this, and one of these ways is incorporating your own photos into the template to create something truly personalised.
How would you go about doing this? What would you need to do to make sure that your event is as charming as possible, while at the same time creating personalised invitations? Well, let’s take a look.
Family Photos

If you’re organising a family event such as a christening, communion or funeral, then using family photos is one of the best things that you can do. Not only are these incredibly personal photographs of you and your family, but they help to create a sense of community and familiarity which actively encourages people to engage and respond. We think family photos look particularly smart on our range of thank you cards for wedding gifts. Often, we see couples use the professional family portraits they have had taken on their big day. The results are always stunning.
Baby Photos

Sometimes, an invitation needs to have an image which is incredibly relevant. Baby photos are often used in personalised invitations, especially when dealing with printed items like birthdays, baptism, or christenings invitation designs.
