Designs & the studio

How do I add my own photos to an invitation?

By Nimanto 1 min read

In short

Every photo frame and gallery of the design is listed on the Photos step, page by page, when you create the invitation and under Update invitation details. Upload a photo for each frame you want; a frame left empty is left out, so guests never see a gap.

Designs come with photo frames (the couple's portraits, the birthday child, the house) and sometimes a gallery page. The design's own artwork is fixed; a frame is any picture meant for yours.

When you create the invitation

  1. On the Photos step, find the page that holds the frame.
  2. Choose Upload on the frame and pick your photo.
  3. For a gallery, choose Add your photos and pick several at once.
  4. Choose Next or Create now.

Photos are never asked for in the essentials, so you can create the invitation first and add them later.

Later

  1. Open the invitation from your dashboard and choose Update invitation details.
  2. Open the Photos step. Every frame is shown as it is now: "on the invitation", "left out until you add one" or "removed from the invitation".
  3. Choose Upload a photo or Replace on a frame, or Add more photos on a gallery.
  4. Choose Save. On a live invitation, publish again to show the change to guests.

What guests see

  • A frame without a photo is left out. A page that holds only photos stays away from guests until you add one.
  • A frame you do not want can be taken out with Remove frame; Put it back restores it.
  • A frame that came with the design's sample photo is offered too, so you can replace the sample.
  • Your gallery photos replace the design's samples. To rearrange them, open the Invitation studio.
