Wedding invites.. picture of yourselves?

Bethany, on February 23, 2017 at 13:40 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 15
Hi people!!! My photographer told me that typically people put their photo on their wedding invitations. Who's doing this?? And where did you go to get the invites printed?? I'm lost at this one. What are you guys doing for your invites? INSPIRE ME

    I have seen this with both Save-The-Dates and Wedding invitations where pictures are used. Mostly, pictures are used on the Save-The-Dates. I say go for it! For us, we won't be using our pictures for the invitations.

    Aw thank you! You can still use your engagement photos for lots of other things! You can use them for your wedding website, in a slideshow, put them in a book and have it on display for people to look through at the reception (and sign if you want!).

    Have you started looking at invitations yet? Do you know what type of style you want?

    I, like others have seen photos with STDs and Thank You cards, but not with invites. Since you missed the chance with your save the dates, you can always add a photo to your thank you cards! I know a lot of people (family especially) enjoy seeing the pictures.

    Em's ideas a cute, so maybe you can make use of on of those!

    We are not putting photos at all on the invitations. But if you want to, do it. You are doing this for you and your partner not for anyone else Smiley smile

    Hey Bethany! Smiley heart A lot of people send a picture in their Save the Dates and for that reason won't send them with their invitations, but since you didn't include them in your Save the Dates, why not? You could definitely put a picture in your invites! I found these examples for you Smiley smile

    Invitation with picture

    Invitation style

    Postcard style

    Portrait style

    Do you like these ideas? Are you having an engagement shoot? Smiley smile

    Hmmm I have never once seen an invitation with photos of the couple on there. We got our engagement photos done and will be using a photo of us to use at our reception. I have seen them used on save the dates. Vistaprint you can upload photos of yourselves if that is what you would like to do though and put them on your invitations.

    I've never seen an invitation with pictures of the couple on it so I think they're used more for Save the Dates. Classic or traditional invitations just have the wording on it in pretty fonts but there have been more unique designs lately! Here's our Save the Date. We got it off of Minted. (They will also give you a free wedding website that matches the design of your Save the Date or invitation.)

    We found our invitations on Etsy. Our theme was Our Story and we were incorporating vintage books into our decor so it was perfect!

    Invitations

    Shutterfly, Snapfish and Wedding Paper Divas have great templates for wedding stationery that can include your pictures and they do sales all the time! We just used Wedding Paper Divas to order our thank you cards.

    I have only ever seen photos of the couple on save the dates and thank you cards... I have never seen photos on invites... If you look at vista print the majority of their invites don't have photos.

    Ya... I see that a lot with Save the Dates, but almost never on the invites. I mean you could, but I've just literally never seen it!

    These are my invites

    I ordered my invites on Vistaprint. We actually designed our own invites, we did a watercolour background of our wedding colours. We did not use a photo of us. And honestly, I think quite a few people use photos for save the dates, but not invites. But thats just from what ive seen.
