MARIECARD GUIDE
Mobile invitation photo guide
Photos create the mood of an invitation, but too many images can hide essential information. Give the hero image and gallery different jobs.
Choose the hero image
Use an image where faces and expressions remain clear on a small screen and the subject survives common crops.
A quieter background with space for text is usually easier to read than a busy image.
Create a gallery flow
Mix people, places, details, and shared moments instead of repeating the same composition.
Confirm the intended audience and consent for recognizable people, then balance image quality with loading time.
Review on a phone
Check that important subjects are not cropped and that guests can reach the event details while images load.
The invitation should communicate its purpose even before someone opens the gallery.
Frequently asked questions
Is the highest resolution always best?
Use a size that stays sharp on phones without making the page unnecessarily slow.
What about photos with other people?
Confirm consent and the intended sharing audience before publishing recognizable people in a public link.
