Birthday Invitations with Picture
I'm throwing my DH a 30th bday party and wanted to get invites that I could put a baby picture of him on. Does anyone know where I can get them?
TIA!

if you can download the pic to shutterfly - you can make them there.

I second shutterfly - awesome product and super easy to do.
I made invites for DH's 30th b/day party...I copied a b&w pic of him from when he was ~4...then made 4x6 photos with a white border from that. I attached the photos to card stock using black phot corners. It was a HUGE hit - everyone loved them!
It was very labor intensive....exacto-knifing the photos (I printed them on 8x10 photo paper) and affixing the 4 corners on each card...but it really was so worth it.

I'm sorry this is a stupid question but do I need a photo printer to print them? Then you added the details of the party to the cardstock, right? I'm not the creative one, he is  and unfortunately he can't help me this time!

I printed them on photo paper - it was semi-glossy. And yes, then I printed the info onto the card stock - it opened like a top to bottom card.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, I would stick with Shutterfly. It really is easy - they walk you through the steps and it winds up costing the same as if you were to do what I did. The result (from Shutterfly) it GREAT - I've printed lots of cards through them and have always been very happy with the results.
Good luck!
