When organizing a good wedding, you want to pay attention to every detail, and one of the most important among those are invitations for guests. Fortunately, there is no need to draw them with your own hands, because there are a lot of software solutions that we will consider in this article.
Ronyasoft Poster Designer.
We have repeatedly mentioned Ronyasoft Poster Designer, perfectly suitable for creating various posters, stickers, metrics, invitations, etc. This can be done with the help of conventional graphic editors, such as Paint 3D, but it is necessary to have experience with such applications and understand in their functionality. It is also easy to create a project that even a novice user will be able to create a wide database of templates, significantly saving time.
It is allowed to use both the built-in collection of backgrounds and graphic objects imposed on canvas and loading their options through a convenient menu. Each object has detailed properties where additional parameters are set: dimensions, angle of rotation, a percentage of visibility, gradient, stroke and shadow, and the section "Edit" is available with the ability to trim the shape. There is a Russified interface made in fairly affordable and modern style. The only drawback is that Ronyasoft Poster Designer is a paid product.
Master of postcards
Another highly specialized program is initially intended for creating festive cards, but its ability to embody other creative solutions. The main feature of the postcard wizard is the presence of a convenient interface in which the entire workflow is carried out in stages. First, the user creates a project, selects its type, templates, after which it can set the page parameters, add visual effects and text, and also free editing if desired.
A wide base of types, backgrounds, frames, masks, filters, cliparts, shapes and prepared text objects are available. They are divided into categories and can come in handy in various situations: for congratulations, invitations, jokes, etc. After work, it is recommended to take advantage of the preview, where the finished project will be clearly depicted as it would look on paper. There is an official translation of the menu into Russian, and the application itself is paid.
Photo Cards.
Photo Cards - Another convenient solution for creating invitations to the wedding. As in those considered above, there is a wide base of the billets that can be used in their project. It is possible to flexible canvas adjustment: the user indicates its width and length, orientation, as well as permission. After it is added any images with the ability to scaling. The billet catalog consists of a variety of frames, backgrounds, postcards, textures, decorations and substrates, and compositions are used to achieve better and pleasant effects: "blur", "negative", "contrast", "color noise", "black noise", "Shades of gray", etc.
It is necessary to separately disassemble the module for adding an inscription on the canvas because it is implemented in a rather unusual form. The appendix opens an additional window divided into two categories: "Text Settings" and "Congratulations". In the first user, it sets detailed font parameters, and the text itself is introduced into the second, its topics, background and special fonts are indicated, while their billets are also present. Thus, PHOTO Cards is an excellent solution for ordinary users on which this product and oriented. However, the license is required to use.
Posteriza.
Posteriza - a little outdated solution, which is also able to help in creating invitation, posters or other similar graphics. The main window of the application is divided into two zones: tools and workspace. It is possible to adjust the dimensions of each module, but it is impossible to change blocks in some places. To add text, four rows applied to the canvas with a firm interval and user-set dimensions. It is worth noting the extensive font parameters - the shadow, size, alignment, drawing, scale, interval, upper field, color, presence or absence of a frame are set.
Unfortunately, in Posteriza there is no built-in base of templates and blanks, so you need to prepare all suitable graphic objects in advance, and then add them to canvas using a special function. A significant drawback is the absence of working with layers, because of which it is necessary to import images consistently without violating their order in terms of display. At the end of the work, you can get acquainted with the preliminary version of the project, after which print it on the printer. The application is downloaded for free from the official site of the developer. The latest version is equipped with a Russian-speaking interface.
Adobe Photoshop.
As mentioned earlier, with the help of familiar graphic editors, you can also create invitations for a wedding, and they provide much more opportunities. The main problem is that such applications are more complex and require a user of certain skills, so they are not suitable for everyone. Adobe Photoshop is one of the most famous representatives of this segment, professionals and lovers worldwide are actively used. The arsenal of the program contains all tools that may be needed when creating any graphics.
The ability to work with layers, free transformation of objects, "smart" selection, a huge number of diverse filters and effects, working with 3D models and extensive parameters of the added text is just a small part of the functions provided for in Adobe Photoshop. There is official Russification, an extensive base of educational materials from developers is available. It is quite expected that the application is paid, and the introductory period is only 30 days.
CorelDraw.
Another advanced editor - CorelDRAW, oriented with a vector graphics. The program has several artistic tools that allow you to impose and raster effects. The solution is suitable only for those who have such experience and understands the interface, which, by the way, has quite flexible settings with the possibility of personalization.
If you want to use some source images, rather than draw the entire project from scratch, you can upload them with a separate file (including raster), especially since CorelDRAW take care of the function of automatic transformation of the type of graphics. There is a Russian language, and the editor itself is paid. For one-time needs, you can use a trial version that is provided for a month.
We reviewed current software solutions designed to automate and simplify the process of creating wedding invitations. Among them, there are both highly specialized applications aimed at simple users and full-fledged graphic editors oriented on professionals, but often understandable and beginners.
