What To Do With Engagement Photos
You got your engagement session back, and you love the photos! But now what? What do you do with them? Besides the obvious, changing of your profile pictures on your social media accounts, what sort of ways can you use engagement session photos?
Save The Dates
I am a huge fan of plastering my fridge in holiday cards, birth announcements, and of course save the dates! I love to be able to look at fridge and be reminded of a friends upcoming wedding! MPIX is an awesome company from the midwest! I constantly refer them to clients to use for save the dates! You can even find magnetic save the dates! Like Katie and Chris used!
Artifact Uprising can make your life really simple! They offer wedding card suites so you get the same look from your save the date all the way to your wedding thank you cards! They also offer recycled paper envelopes!
Guest Book
This is my all time favorite use! Guest books in my opinion used to be really boring. There are tons of fun ideas out there now! Making a photo book guestbook; with room for guests to write in is super special to use at your wedding. We made one for our wedding and I absolutely love it! We look through it every once and awhile and it is super fun to not only look at the pictures, but to also read the lovely notes written to us by so many people we love! It also pairs really nicely with your wedding album on your bookshelf!
There are all sorts of different styles and price points to choose! Here are some helpful links!
Clint and Malia got their book printed through Snapfish!
Brittney & Dewey used Shutterfly.
Wedding Website
If you are going to use the knot or wedding wire, it can be helpful to have a wedding website to send to guests! These are a great tool to send updated information to your guests, and to show off some of your pictures!
Decorations
Weddings are all about showing your personality as a couple. It’s great to be able to use your engagement photos at your wedding! People love to look at photos of the two of you over the years, so make sure to include some from your engagement session! You can print them off or you can have a slideshow running on a loop!
Cards
If you are going to have a bridal shower make cards or postcards with some of your engagement photos! It’s one more way to thank someone for their thoughtful gift! You can also make cards to ask your friends to be apart of your big day! A personalized card will surely be put on display rather than thrown away.
Prints
Lastly print your photos! Frame them to add to your new home together or print them to give as gifts! Grandparents and relatives love to be included in this next step of your life! They can make great thoughtful gifts for the holidays! Mpix has lots of options for books, mini accordion books, magnets and ornaments! Artifact Uprising showcases dozens of classic gifts from calendars to prints with easels. They also offer eco friendly gifts! Why not print off a calendar to gift your fiancé to count down to the big day!
