How to Write Family Photo Text

To make your photo gift look professional and emotional, follow these design standards.

• Simple text is crucial.  White text on dark backgrounds or black on light backgrounds stands out.  Avoid cluttered backdrops when writing.

• Correct font sizes.  Use simple language that doesn’t obscure the picture.       Framed prints look better with larger text.

• Use meaningful words.   Family names, important events, and “Forever & Always” are meaningful words.  Gifting something personal makes it meaningful.

• Put less text on photographs.  A caption or two related sentences usually suffices.

• Match the photo’s style.  For formal family photos, use elegant typefaces. For informal photos, use handwritten or humorous typefaces.

• Pictures with lots of detail. Clear, detailed photos are best for printing and sharing.  Photos with low resolution may make text difficult to read.

Following these steps may help you create a balanced design that enhances your family image and brings back memories.
