Something like this would be easy to do if you want me to just do it for you. It'll be quicker to just do it rather than explain it.

place calender and reduce opacity.

I appreciate it, however i might be changing the photos here and there to decide which one suits best. If you dont mind, could you share a rough idea or link me to somewhere i can pick up the technique?

I tried reducing the size of calenders i got, but its distorted and the designs i found are pretty ugly. Where can i get clear calender even after i reduce the size?

you can follow the above post, however, it may be better quality for you to create your own calender instead of using a premade image.

do you have photoshop or a similar program? not paint.
maybe indesign or illustrator may even work.
________________________________________________________________________

after making, or finding a decent calendar, just bring it into photoshop with your image.

depending on the version, you might have to hold shift, or shrink by clicking the corners and adjusting it.
another way would be to take the calendar on a whole new canvas and shrinking the image, then bringing the image to the same canvas as your image, but it's unnecessarily long.
this is so you don't distort the image while shrinking it.

adjust the fill or opacity in the layer options to whatever you feel comfortable with. 70-90% would probably be the safe range.
this makes the background partially see-through, like the image you posted.

that's just adding the calendar. the text and font should really be more stressed on.

I'm working with PS, but really with basic knowledge of it. Googling every step i'm taking. I got a simple calendar working on the photo now.

Any idea where i can choose fonts from? I saw this font which i like, but it costs too much.

Any suggestion on where i can find a romantic sort of font?

a couple sites that i've used when i took photoshop for school were dafont and 1001freefonts

when you download a font, put the file in:
Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Fonts
you might have to restart photoshop to get the fonts available to use

Make a new canvas, don't work on the photograph. I made a .psd of it with steps on how I did it. When you transfer it to a photograph, copy all of the layers except for the transparent one. You can resize it by using cntrl+t. Just make sure you hold shift when you resize so it stays in proportion.

Thanks! Great step by step provided. Still figuring our how to do the heart outline tho.

I need some custom design. How do i make the design like the one on top and below "save the date"?

Pentool, or find one and add it to the canvas. Like I said it would be easier for someone to just make it for you if you don't know how.
