Photo Party Invitations

Two party invitations built around a photo: Polaroid, a landscape photo window taped at an angle like an instant print, with doodled stars, headed Party Time! and introduced Say Cheese With; and Instant Photo, a square photo window in an instant-photo frame with a confetti scatter, headed You're Invited and labeled Just Because. Drop in a picture of the hosts, the friends or the place, and drag it until it sits right. Polaroid opens in Turquoise and Instant Photo in Fuchsia.

Hosting tip
A photo invitation reads best with a close, bright photo: two or three faces, not a wide group shot. If you're planning a photo booth, say so on the back, as Polaroid's sample does: Photo booth and props provided.
How it works

Details, wording, colors, download

Open any design above in the maker. Each of these designs has a photo window: drop in a picture and drag it until it sits where you want it. Type the hosts' names, the date and the place; the headline is live text too, so Let's Party can become whatever you like. The back carries the details and one easygoing line, such as come as you are or bring a friend.

Pick one of the three palettes drawn for the design, then download a 5 x 7 PDF (front and back), a two-per-sheet letter PDF for home printing, print-shop PNGs with bleed, 4 x 6 PNGs for a photo counter, a phone-sized PNG to text or email, or a Word file. For more lines to put on the card, see the party invitation wording ideas and the party etiquette guide.
