Hi Kathy,
Photoshop is an image editing tool, which is used by million of creative people to create print things like posters, magazines cards and almost everything U see day by day.
Its a professional editing tool, so buying it would cost you a lot if your purpose is only to make a card. But you can download a 30- day trial from the website at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/

Here's a list of other free softwares similar to photoshop which can take care of creating an invitation.
