How to Choose the Perfect Photo for Your Wedding Invitation

Your main invitation photo sets the tone. Here are our tips for selecting an image that truly represents you as a couple.


The Picture That Speaks a Thousand Words

The main photo on your wed.cards invitation is the first thing your guests will see. It's the visual centerpiece of your announcement. Here's how to choose the perfect one.


  • **Go for Professional Quality**: If you've had an engagement photoshoot, this is the perfect place to use those photos. A high-resolution, well-lit photo makes a huge difference.
  • **Show Your Personalities**: Are you a fun-loving, adventurous couple? Or are you more formal and romantic? Choose a photo that reflects your unique style. A candid, laughing shot can be just as beautiful as a formal pose.
  • **Consider the Composition**: Landscape (horizontal) photos generally work best for the main banner on a digital invitation. Look for an image where you aren't too small in the frame, but there's still some beautiful background.
  • **Coordinate with Your Theme**: If you've chosen a color theme for your invitation, pick a photo where your outfits or the background complements those colors.
  • **Authenticity is Key**: Above all, choose a photo that you both love and that feels authentic to you. Your joy and love for each other should be what shines through.
