Can't decide on your favourite photo? Have them all! Give guests a variety of invites featuring a few of your fave photos, and pair it with quotable quotes you love. 

A casual script also hints at a fun, laidback celebration.

Postcard perfect

Make a classic pink and blush invite modern with snazzy fonts.

Just be sure your wedding details can be seen clearly against the backdrop of your picture - you don't want a myriad of texts asking you for your wedding venue, or worse, having guests turn up at the wrong time or venue.

Here's another way to showcase a variety of pictures when you can't decide on one. This design, where a collage is featured on the cover of the card, and a blown-up, faded picture at the back with details, is a clever way of including a series of snaps without going overboard.

Give guests a preview of your beach wedding by having a nautical colour theme on the front of your save-the-dates or invitations, and a beach-themed portrait at the back of the card.

Pretty polaroids

We love how simply elegant this well-designed Polaroid-inspired invitation is. It's just the wedding date or monogram with the couple's names and their picture in front, and more information at the back.

Send your love

Thank your guests for attending your wedding with a selection of well-curated photos from your actual day. If you've got a roving photographer or a photobooth, include the photos they've taken, too.

The cover sepia-toned photo evokes rustic chic but the details - in Mandarin characters and large, whimsical fonts in English - feel fresh.

The clever tagline "Married & merry" is clearly evident in the collage of cheery photos taken at the wedding. If you'd like to show off your actual day snaps, send them to guests in the form of a collage or two printed on your thank you cards.
