Photos of the couple for invitations

Some of the best wedding invitation ideas I got when planning my own wedding were from my photographer.
She suggested using a picture of us in black and white with white vellum over it, using a small piece of ribbon to tie into a bow and hold the two pieces together.
The photo would be printed on a quarter sheet piece of white card stock, with all the wedding info on the reverse side.
The ribbon we used was the same color red I used throughout my wedding.
These were done very cheaply on my home computer and printer; my Mom and I sat down one night for just a couple of hours and we were able to complete over 100 invitations.
