Wedding Cards — Photo Wedding Invitations, Save-the-Date Cards and Thank You Cards

Give your guests a taste of what they can expect on your wedding day with photo wedding invitations and save-the-date cards that show off your style. Wedding thank you cards that use photos from the reception are a nice touch your guests will appreciate.

Best of the Best Wedding Photo Cards

My pick for the best wedding cards is Shutterfly. Their photo wedding announcements and save the date cards are inexpensive AND the online design system is the easiest to use (I've tried them all). A 4x8 photo card printed on photographic paper instead of cardstock costs about 50¢ for 100.

Join Shutterfly and get a free 8x8 photo book when you order 50 or more save the date cards, wedding cards or announcements. Enter code CARDBUNDLE

Tip: You can stay on budget by ordering save the date cards printed on photo paper. Don't spend a fortune, especially since you'll be sending out formal invitations later.

Wedding card announcements and save-the-date printed on cardstock cost a bit more but have a nicer feel. Wedding Paper Divas has nice cardstock photo cards like this one:

Thank You Wedding Photo Cards

With a little help from Shutterfly, you can add one or more photos and turn an ordinary thank you card into a wedding keepsake. I like the collage or mosaic style cards the best becuase you get the chance to feature several pics. I think your guests are likely to keep a card like this instead of a generic store bought card, don't you? Click here for wedding thank you cards

Tip The most inexpensive photo thank you card is the 3x5 notecard (blank inside). Choose a classic photo for the front and your'e done. Click here for note cards

Best of the Best Photo Wedding Invitations

My pick for best photo wedding invitations is Photoworks. Their styles are fresh, modern, and very customizable. Other online stationary companies feature photos designs only for the save the date cards, but Photoworks has lines of coordinating photo wedding invitations, save-the-date, RSVP, and thank you cards.

My next choice for photo wedding invitations is Wedding Paper Divas. They have a beautiful letterpress designs although not as many photo styles. Click here for hip, modern, exclusive wedding invitations from Wedding Paper Divas
