Need some help with 1st Bday invite-pic fixed

I need some help! I am attempting an invite on photoshop (this is only my second time using it!) and I need some constructive criticism-tips-ideas etc. We are planning to do the "first birthday princess" theme and I plan on adding a recent picture in the center. Anything you can offer is appreciated!!

it looks as if your pics are stretched out a bit.

If you are going to add a 3rd pic, maybe line the 3 up going across the middle, unless there is more info being put in there.

Then you could make the Hailey's 1st B-day bigger?

Ok...here we go...Chat Icon Chat Icon

The pic on the left is good...not stretched but the other picture is stretched. You probably have to make it bigger...which is fine..you have plenty of room on this invite.

I would put a border around the pics...give them a shadow effect too.

The writing should be another color. Hailey's First Birthday blends in to the pink background.

OK, I'm don't have the best eye for these things but here is what I see.

First, great job!

The pic on the left def. looks stretched so I'd probably fix that (hit the shift key as you adjust)

Also, somethings missing in the middle. Maybe perhaps you can put a line of cute little pink and brown or blue circles or hearts across the middle of the invite almost connecting the two pics.

I agree with Stephanie so far but I also want to add that:

While I am a fan of mixing fonts I don't think those go so well and I would limit to 2. So keep Hailey's first birthday the way you have it but change the rest. You can dowload some really nice ones for free from dafont.com. That is where I usually go. One that comes to mind is Pristina.

I would also take the the blackish/brown from the crown and use that as the text color. Then use the darkest pink on the crown for her name.

I am not a fan of the hearts on their, I feel like it doesn't really go with the theme of the invite.

Maybe line up the pictures but have the middle one bigger and use frames but like picture ones instead of solid color.

I know there is a way to match the font to the colors in the crown but can't remember how-do you know?

you can use the eyedropper tool to pick up the color in the crown to then use it as a font color...
