- 1. Save-the-date cards
- If you're looking for ideas to add a personal touch to your save-the-date card, why don't you consider adding your engagement photos? If you decide to send out a digital save-the-date, using your photo as the background is definitely a good idea. Leave the design to the pros and let them make your save-the-date cards shine.
- 2. Postage stamps
- Sending out wedding invitations means you'll need to use a lot of stamps. Here's a unique idea: use your engagement photos as custom stamps. With a few different pictures, you can have a few different designs. If you still have some stamps left, just keep them for your wedding scrapbook.
- 3. Invitations
- Just like the save-the-date idea above, adding engagement photos gives a more intimate feel to your wedding invitations. The amount of photos to choose from might be overwhelming, so you should always consult your invitation designer to decide on the right one. If you decide to take the DIY route, try to get opinions from your close ones.
- 4. Guestbook
- Say goodbye to the regular, cookie-cutter guestbook that you won't be able to keep properly. Using engagement photos to decorate your wedding guestbook is an exciting idea that's actually not that hard to do. You can print out your photo on a large canvas or any material that's easy to frame, and just have your guests sign it. Alternatively, you can prepare albums of your engagement shoot in varying sizes. They don't need to be in large format, but try to keep them thick. Another idea is to print out your engagement photos in Polaroid format and use the blank spaces on the bottom for your guests to write on. When you do this, hang your photos using threads and let your guests pick their favorite photos to write on.
- 5. Favors and gifts
- Giving a mug with your photos printed on it might not be the best wedding favor idea, but you can still use your photos as custom labels. You can print out custom wine labels with your photos attached on them as a thank-you gift or you can have your photos printed as thank you cards tagged along with your wedding favors.
- 6. Wedding trinkets
- Another great way to use your engagement photos is to include them in your wedding decoration. Before you spruce up your decor with too many pictures, try to get some ideas that will keep it from looking tacky. Don't plaster zoomed-in photos of your face all over the wedding signs and try to mix it up with more artistic photos instead, like photos of you holding hands taken without showing your faces.
- 7. Home decoration
- Whether you want to make the best out of your precious engagement shoot or you just want to treasure the moments you had, we absolutely understand you. This particular tip is popular for a lot of couples: print out your photos and hang them somewhere at home. But don't forget to find framing arrangement ideas to keep things from getting messy.
- 8. Pillow
- If you want to keep your memories close, you can try to have your engagement photos printed out on a pillow. You can use this one-of-a-kind pillow as a decorative item in your new home and keep your happy memories around for years to come.
