  Open a graphics-editing program on your computer. Create a new file by choosing a document size corresponding to your desired wedding-invitation size. If you do not already have a computer program capable of handling the insertion of text and pictures, download or purchase a program suitable to your needs.

  Choose a design theme. Knowing that you want purple is helpful, but it is not sufficient to dictate all the design choices for the invitation. Determine if you want to create a chic invitation using white, purple and black, for example, along with elegant loops and scrolls. You may decide the invitation should be floral-based featuring purple irises, tulips or even pansies. You may be interested in a different theme entirely.

  Locate graphics according to your design theme, and insert them along with your text, arranging the various components as desired. Having a lilac-filled background with a partially-transparent, lightly-colored rectangular box overlaid can provide a perfect background for featuring dark-colored text in the forefront. Inserting additional digital embellishments in the corners or at the top of the invitation may be desirable, or you may prefer to add ribbons or decorated brads after the invitations are printed.

  Save your image with a picture-file extension, such as JPEG, and order final prints from a professional service. Because a purple-oriented invitation is color dependent, springing for professionally printed invitations will likely be in your best interest; it will show off your design skills with quality results. Insert finished invitations into addressed and stamped envelopes.
