Photo Wedding Invitations
First things first: can wedding invitations have pictures? Absolutely!
Thanks to modern, vibrant printing machines and quality paper, invitations with photos printed on them are more popular than ever before.
How else are you going to put those amazing engagement pictures to use?!
Photo wedding invitations are a perfect choice when you want a customizable design your guests will love! They’ll get even more excited for the festivities when they open the envelope to reveal wedding invitations with pictures of the couple. Plus, they’ll have an adorable snapshot of the soon-to-be weds on their refrigerator. :) It’s one invitation suite they won’t misplace!
In addition to the personalization factor, pictures are a great way to utilize your engagement photos.
And finally, one reason why wedding invitation templates with pictures make it easier to choose invites is you have fewer decisions you have to make. Sometimes, it can be tricky when shopping for wedding invites because there are so many designs. Too many colors. An abundance of artwork! It can be overwhelming to choose just one — or select an invitation suite you and your partner can agree upon.
But with wedding invitations with pictures on them, the photo takes up most of the design and serves as a focal point, allowing you to keep the rest of it simple. Easy, peasy.
How to Create The Perfect Photo Wedding Invitations
Creating your wedding invites is easier thanks to an easy online editor provided by Minted. The tool is easy to edit and drag-and-drop to include one photo or multiple photos with a tap or click of the mouse.
You’ll even be able to preview any edits to the photo template so you’ll know exactly how your card will look before you place an order. Try it here.

Are Photo Wedding Invitations More Expensive?
Good news: photo or non photo wedding invitations cost close to or the same amount per invite. They are not necessarily more expensive.
As with all invite styles, there are some more luxurious options, as well as cheap wedding invitations with photos that are customizable and just as beautiful. It all depends on the size of the card, paper quality, and printing style.

Let’s make them even better: here are answers to some frequently asked questions to make your wedding invites stand out beautifully.
What Kind of Photo Styles to Use on an Invitation
Up Close Portraits
You can choose an up-close portrait of the two of you or select a picture where you’re in the background with beautiful scenery around you.
Informal vs. Formal Shots
The photograph should tie in nicely with the formality of the wedding.
→ For a casual wedding, select a candid picture or photograph that resonates with your style and shows off your fun side.
→ For a formal wedding, a more elegant portrait would work nicely and tie into the overall theme and aesthetic of the event.
Candid Photos
Choose a picture that is a favorite of you and your partner. It can be a candid shot — those are sometimes the best way to capture you in your natural element and without posed smiles. However, a nicely posed photo works well, too.
Black-and-White Photos
If you’d like, edit the photo to make it black and white for added elegance and a classic touch. Here’s an example of one.
Vertical vs. Horizontal Photos
Make sure the pictures you select work well with the orientation of the invitation card, whether you opt for a landscape or portrait card.
Creative Ways to Add Pictures to Wedding Invitations and Stationery
In addition to your invites, there are other ways to incorporate pictures to your wedding stationery.
• Save The Date Photos: Use your favorite engagement or proposal snapshot in your save-the-date cards.
Add even more pictures of you and your partner to save-the-dates: create a collage, use an overlay, or choose a filmstrip style for Polaroid-inspired cards. Browse additional designs here.
• Wedding Website Pictures: Add your snapshots to your wedding website to greet guests when they visit. Add your proposal story, engagement pictures, wedding party bios, and more to give your guests a personalized experience.
• Photos on Back of Invites: If you want to include more than one photo on your invitation card, you can add several pictures to the back. Select photos as your back-of-card design option and upload snapshots with ease.

Cheap Wedding Invitation Options
You can save some money and choose a cheaper photo option simply by selecting petite-sized invitations or all-in-one invites. Here are some details on both options.
Petite Invitations with Picture
The size is a bit smaller than a classic card which equates to less ink and paper use. Therefore, the savings get passed on to you and you’re able to obtain cheap invitations with pictures for a less expensive price.
All-In-One Invitations with Photo
Another option is the all in one invitation style, which folds into itself. These cheaper invites require no outer envelope, RSVP envelope, and the RSVP card is a postcard which is cheaper postage, too. Boom! Now you can have cheap wedding invitations with photos without sacrificing an once of quality.
As a result, the soon-to-be weds get a nice price and guests receive stunning wedding invitations with pictures of the couple — and all the details they need for the main event. Win-win!
