Way back in December of 2008, Mama and Daddy Frenchie threw Mr Frenchie and me an engagement party. The idea of the invite started with a picture taken by the very talented Jessica Claire at the wedding of my very good friend Tiffany Michelle. FH and I had been dating about 2 months when Tiffany married her awesome hubbers, Dan, and Jessica caught this shot of us laughing on the dance floor.
It has been my mother’s favorite photo ever since, and she wanted it incorporated into the invite. Here is what we came up with, and how we did it…
Supplies
First I cut the invite sheets in half…
Then I cut all the photos out, leaving no border…
Next, Mr Frenchie put two dots on the back of each photo, one at the top middle and one at the bottom middle, and placed the photo in the top center of the invite.
Ta-da, the finished product!
How did you get your wedding DIY feet wet?

That pic is too cute!! I love it. The engagement party invites came out really well. I like that you used the photo.
This is such a great idea…and how cute is that picture of you two…I love that Mr. Frenchie helped out….”oh honey”!
PS my DIY plans are for my invitations…which I got at Michael’s Arts and Crafts along with table numbers and placecards to match! 
Oh wow, before I read your post I figured the picture was part of your e-photo shoot, that is an amazing shot!
I love that picture of you two! Candids are so awesome. Great invites too!
That is an adorable pic of you two! What a cute invitation also!
Love the photo. For anyone else attempting to do this I would suggest taking the background out completely in photoshop or something like that. Look @ Max Wagner’s photography for some inspiration- he uses like a pink
They came out so cute and I love the picture of you and your fi! My first wedding related projects were for my e-party, too. My friends did the invires and most of the work, but I was allowed to make engagement ring cupcakes and the thank you notes.
I love how happy and totally into each other — and oblivious to the world around you — you and Mr. Frenchie are in that picture!
I looooooooove this!!!!!!! What a great photo and I am in love with the invite! Too adorable
so cute! love the easy-to-make DIY project.
our first project was our engagement announcement / save the date cards. just black cardstock on red cardstock + a 5×7 image i had made in photoshop. i did the photoshopping (my least favorite type of ’shopping) and my FI did the cutting / assembling
@mrspaetz: I had to giggle at Photoshopping being your least favorite type of shopping
Great pic! I love candids too! and I love that Mr. F.B. got in on the actioN!
