how inviting!

Maybe it is because in another life I wold liked to have been a graphic designer, but the selection process we went through for our wedding invitations was the second best part of planning a wedding. I would be a liar if I did not say picking the cake was the best part - in fact I know of more than one 'bride' who ran out of local bakeries to audition cakes from. But seriously, wouldn't these Photo Card Invitations make unique and unforgettable wedding invitations?

Your invitation sets the tone for the whole wedding, the imagery, the colour-scheme and the level of formality. Do you want to be original or use someone else's design?

When a former co-worker sent us her invitation we knew we were going to be in for a long afternoon when the location was a well known local Catholic church and the design screamed 'traditional church wedding'. It had been a while since wither of us had been to a proper cathedral (unless you count sight-seeing trips in Europe!) but we figured, afternoon wedding, better err on the side of too formal. Well, the teens in the pew in front of us didn't think the same way and TWICE during the ceremony their mobile phones went off! Let me tell you, nothing echoes more than a phone in a church. They seemed to be nonplussed by the whole event, we were mortified since there was no way to tell for those in front of us who glared who the culprit was. Chances are some thought it *was* us given the fact that we probably looked more uncomfortable than the actual culprit!

A nice (and exclusive to 1st Class Wedding) feature is the ability to zoom in on an image.



You'd have to change the Merry Christmas to 'Cordially Invited' but these are totally customizable - you control the text, the font - it's your card, professionally printed!
