Need to show a wedding invitation to a client? This classic invitation card mockup does the job in a few minutes.
Useful for event planners as much as for wedding stationers. Tip: export your artwork at the size the smart object asks for; scaling a small file up is the usual reason print mockups look soft.
It also makes a good cover image for a Behance or Dribbble post, where the first thumbnail decides whether anyone clicks. If you’re building a full identity, pair it with an envelope or letterhead mockup for a matching set.

What’s inside the Classic Invitation Card Mockup PSD
The PSD is layered, so you can change:
- Your design, placed through the smart object
- Paper texture you can turn up or down
- Shadows and highlights on their own layers
Editing the Classic Invitation Card Mockup, step by step
- Get your artwork ready at print size, with 1/8 inch of bleed if it runs to the edge.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Change the background or paper colour with the colour layer.
- Export with File › Export › Export As: JPG for sharing, PNG for the web.
If the paper has texture, drop the opacity of your art by a few percent so the grain shows through.
Where the Classic Invitation Card Mockup works best
- Make two or three colour versions of a postcard and let the client pick.
- Share a thank-you card on Instagram, Behance or Dribbble with a real-looking preview.
- Present a greeting card in a client proposal or brand guide.

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
It's free to download, but the licence belongs to Graphic Google. Check their page: it states whether commercial use is allowed and if attribution is needed.
How do I add my design?
Open the file in Photoshop, double-click the smart object thumbnail, paste or place your artwork in the new tab, save it (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and close. The main file updates on its own.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.
Can I show both sides?
It depends on the file. Many print mockups include a front and a back smart object; the preview usually shows whether both sides are visible.
