How to Make Photo Invitations at Home

Photo invitations add a personal touch to any invitation. Why send generic invitations when you can create a special invitation using a photo of the guest of honor? You can create a personalized photo invitation directly from your computer and printer in just a few minutes.

Personalized photo invitations add class to your special event. Whether you are hosting a holiday party, birthday party, baby shower or sweet sixteen party, adding a picture to the invitation shows the guests your creativity.

1. Select the picture that you want
   to use on the invitations. Select a photo that is clear to use on
   the invitation.


2. Double-click Microsoft Word to
   open the program.


3. Visit the Microsoft website and
   download an invitation template.


4. Once the template has finished
   downloading double-click the download to add to your Microsoft Word
   library.


5. Click “Insert” and select
   “Picture” to add the photo to the invitation. You can size the
   picture by dragging the corner in to make the photo smaller or out
   to make it larger.


6. Enter the text of the invitation
   in the template. This information should include the reason for the
   party, the date, time, location, and a phone number for RSVP. Use a
   clear legible font large enough for anyone to read, especially if
   you are inviting older guests.


7. Click “File” and then “Print
   preview” to check the invitation for errors.


8. Click “File” and “Print”
   to print one invitation to check the clarity of the picture and
   text.


9. Click “File,” “Print," and
   then select the number of copies needed.
