Free Software

[chris164]

I want to print some wedding anniversary party invitations, can anyone recommend free software that I can download. I would like to be able to add our own wedding photo on the front. Thank-you for your help.

and download PagePlus SE. I've used PagePlus for years and it's an excellent DTP program. You might find it takes a little while to get the hang of it, depending on how savvy you are with programs generally, but I've always found it to be more or less intuitive (or maybe I'm just used to it by now, I don't know!).

And yes, you can easily import photographs or clipart and make them part of the invitation, and you can just as easily put a frame round your photo, or a border, or a drop-shadow or whatever. The program has all kinds of options available, way too many for me to tell you about. I strongly recommend taking some time to read the Help file first - it's extensive and very detailed, but obviously you only need to scan through it quickly at this stage and find the basics and then specifically how to format an invitation (there are templates for folded publications of every kind imaginable).
