Activity for Michelle

How far in advance should I take engagement pictures? The wedding is June 2017. I want to use the pictures for our save the date cards. Advice?

Has anyone ordered their STDs from Shutterfly? And if you have, on average how long did it take from when you ordered them, for you to get them? I'm just curious how long it takes so I know how far in advance to order them! Thanks !

We are having music during our ceremony of course, and during the reception, but do we need to have music for cocktail hour as well??? We figured that everyone would be mingling and talking?
