Getting engaged is one of the most exciting moments in a person’s life. Engagement photography is a great opportunity to not only get comfortable with your wedding photographer before the big day but also to announce to everyone your great news! However, a lot of people wonder whether engagement photos are really worth it. We’re here to tell you they are! They have a lot of use beyond just announcing your engagement. Here are some great ways to use your engagement photos at your wedding to get the most out of them!
Save the Date Cards
Save the Date cards are pretty common these days. They’re a great way of giving people a heads up about your wedding before the official invitation arrives. That way people can plan ahead and make it to your big day. Many people opt to use their engagement photos on the save the date cards. This is a great opportunity to use them, as it shows them off and provides guests with useful information.
Guest Book
Guest books aren’t limited to hotels! Many brides and grooms opt for a guest book full of their engagement and pre-wedding photos. Guests can sign the book, giving advice and best wishes while also admiring the beautiful photos. That way when you look at the book years down the line you get the sweet words and photos! It’s a great way to store both for years to come.
Wedding Website
Even the wedding industry has turned digital. Many couples getting married now opt to create a wedding website. This allows them to put all of the relevant information, such as registry, hotel info, and wedding details all in one easy to access spot. But a wedding website shouldn’t just be informational. It’s also a great opportunity to show off your engagement photos and get people excited to celebrate your love!
Slide Show
A huge part of a wedding reception is keeping guests entertained. Food, music, dances and more all play a part in that. These days, it’s not uncommon to have a picture slide show that plays at some point during the reception. This slide show is often full of old pictures of the couple as well as new ones, such as engagement photos. Guests love seeing the happy couple throughout all of the years that led them to that moment.
