I've been toying with the idea of making my own invitations. BUT...the issue I'm having is I cant find any graphics to put on the invitations. Our colors are pink and green and I'd like some little pink flowers (maybe cherry blossoms) for the top of the invite. Any ideas on websites to find these graphics?

Check this website out too. They sell invitation software that can do what you're looking for.

Re: DIY invitations
someone posted an image on the BHB boards thats on an invitation that I like, except its the wrong color and I'd like to take the bird out of it. What software can I use to change the color and crop the image? I dont have any now and I'm not opposed to purchasing software as long as it doesnt cost a fortune.

do you know if the free trial verisons let you do it? I'm not looking to spend $600 on software. At that point I'll order invitations for $500 that FH liked.

Re: DIY invitations
Photoshop has a free download available - think its called photoshop express - sorry - don't know the website though - heard it on the radio the other day

Maybe Aleisha and Vanessa can help out. I think their doing their own invitations.

Someone said printmaster will work and since it's relatively cheap, I may just buy it and try it.

If FH and I can't find what we're looking for... We are going to enlist the services of a lovely 2010 bride. But while we have ideas the invitation hunt is a long way off...

I just asked a lovely 2010 bride for help as well Sora, in terms of graphics, I am going to emboss my own invitations with a pattern or symbol. There is a free alternative to photoshop somewhere, if I find it I will tell you. But my little sister 'just happened to somehow find photoshop for free' So whenever I need to use that program I will hijack her laptop! But otherwise, Publisher and Powerpoint will suffice unless you are trying to blown up large scale images or have you invited sent to a print company then you will need the technology of Photoshop. I hope this helps, but you have my AIM so IM me whenever you need any help

I just need to get rid of the pesky bird and change the flowers to pink.
