Designing birthday invitations in Photoshop

Hey everyone!
So, I’m currently struggling with making some birthday invitations in Photoshop CS. This is actually my first time ever touching this software, and while I really want to get the hang of it, I won't lie—it feels a little overwhelming. Does anyone have a spare minute to walk me through the basics? Just like a super quick tutorial on what I should actually be opening when I start up the program. I tried digging around online for a bit, but everything I found felt way too complicated. All I'm really trying to do is make a simple invite with a picture of Mickey Mouse, maybe some balloons, and then drop in some text. That's pretty much the goal for now!
Thanks in advance, guys!

Kicked out of the wedding. Thanks, 😉.

I mean, come on, the internet is basically crawling with Photoshop tutorials. 🙄

The internet is absolutely flooded with tutorials, but honestly, more than half of them feel pretty useless when you’re just starting out...
It looks like I'm going to have to spend my days wading through this endless ocean of information myself. Oh well. Thanks again!

I’ve been messing around with some software lately, honestly that's the best way to actually get the hang of it 😉

but you can't just master everything overnight, right? Just play around with the settings for a bit 👍

Look, if you want to actually get moving in Photoshop, you gotta scour the web for a decent tutorial that covers the basics. Without that foundation, you're just spinning your wheels.
