5 Creative Ways to Showcase Your Engagement Photos

You both had a professional photoshoot together as a couple, which means they will look great once printed. If you would prefer to keep digital copies of your engagement photos, here are five ways to display them for all to see.

Create a Coffee Table Book or Album

When your photos are printed, it becomes much easier to look at them and reminisce. By creating a small coffee table book, you allow guests to browse through your photos and allow you, and your partner, to enjoy the memories together often too. Ask your photographer if this can add to your wedding photography package.

Use Them for Save the Dates

If you have been searching for ideas for your save-the-dates, your engagement photos are the perfect printable – the day is about the two of you. Select one of your favorite photos to use on a postcard type; save the date to highlight your love among the people who mean the most to you.

 

 Use Them at Your Wedding

Along with using your engagement photos to create save-the-date cards, you can also incorporate them into your wedding. One popular idea is to create a custom guestbook where friends and family can write a special message to you.

Print Photos for Your Family

If you are close to your parents and grandparents, printing and framing one of your favorite engagement photos makes a great gift. Couples can give their family a framed photo as a wedding gift.

Create Décor for Your Home

Naturally, your home is where you should display your engagement photos. Print and frame a few for a specific wall in your home. You can even print one particular image on canvas and place it in a prominent place in your home.

Enjoy being creative with your Engagement photos!

Wedding Planning 101: What to Start Planning First

Getting engaged is exciting, especially when you start planning your big day. But, unfortunately, so much goes into planning a wedding that it’s often difficult to know where to start.

If you and your partner would like to start planning your wedding day, here is what you should focus on first:

Set a Date

Before you start searching for the perfect venue, you’re going to need to have a date in mind. You should also keep in mind that not all venues will have your date available so it’s best to have a few options in mind so that if you do happen to find a venue that really speaks to you, you will have several different dates to choose from.

The Bigger Picture

Yes, the smaller details such as finding your dream dress and deciding on the flavor of your cake are all fun decisions to make, but before you even go there it’s important to create an overall vision for your wedding. What style really speaks to you as a couple and what type of atmosphere do you want to create on the day? Create a Pinterest board where you can gather a few ideas to help with the bigger picture for your day.

Have a Budget in Place

Your finances can get out of hand quickly if you don’t create a budget right from the start. Plus, you don’t want to start your life together as a married couple drowning in debt. So setting a realistic budget before you begin planning will make the entire process much less stressful.

Draft Your Guest List

Not only will your guest list affect your budget, but it will also play a role in your venue search. Your guest list doesn’t have to be final, but it helps to have a rough idea of how many people you think you will invite to your wedding.

Remember, a solid wedding planning foundation is key to designing the wedding of your dreams, so start the planning process off right.

Hiring a Wedding Planner can save you money and direct you in the right direction to make your wedding the most magical day ever. Your day should be perfect and stress-free as much as possible!
