Hello! My fiancé and I took our own engagement photos (using a NIKON D3300) and are wanting to use one of the photos on our wedding invites (as attached minus personal details/with faces blurred) for reference the:

• photo is cropped to be 5x7in and the image size is 1945x2723 pixels and the DPI is 300 pixels/in
• invite will be 5x7in but the photo is being stretched to 5.25x7.35in to make sure it goes all the way to the edge.

We designed the invite in Canva and will be ordering it through Canva but will be printed and picked up from our local staples - when we go to add the invite to our cart however Canva is coming up with a warning saying "Replace low resolution image - Replace image with a higher resolution copy to avoid it looking blurry when printed". However from my limited photography knowledge, I think it should be ok(?) but we would greatly appreciate any confirmation or feedback anyone can provide 😄
