Are you displaying your Engagement pictures at your reception?

Gettingmarriedin2016, on March 29, 2016 at 3:34 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 19

Are you guys displaying your engagement pictures at your reception? I'm considering framing a few pictures, but don't know where to put them. We're not doing a slideshow. Just wanted to know what you ladies are doing.

    We used one inside our autograph frame/guestbook.

    I'm using one on the "guest book" (a vinyl record album with the center sticker being a pic of us)

    I'd also like to use one on a picture table along with pictures of our parents, grandparents, etc. but unfortunately, FH doesn't have many/any family photos so we'll likely skip it.

    Don't even have engagement pictures and ate not likely to take any.

    Not doing any sort of pictures at the wedding/reception. FH's father is a professional photographer, so there are lots of him. There are two pictures of me as a baby/child (without my siblings). My mother told me once it was a choice between feeding me and having my picture taken. I think she made the right choice.

    Our guest book is about 12 photos from our engagement shoot. Other than that no.

    I thought about framing small pictures of FH and I throughout the years of our relationship and putting them with the centerpieces.

    We're scheduled to take ours April 10th and it's also supposed to rain!

    If the pictures turn out nicely I plan to create our guest book using them. I'll probably use Shutterfly to make it and do two copies if the price is good enough. One with space to sign and another one smaller for us.

    I also have a beautiful frame FMIL gave me for Christmas that I'll put two pics in (it's a double 5 x 7)

    We had a few in our program. We got married in a old movie theater so we had a playbill style program.

    I think we will have one or two framed on the table with our guest book and card box. We took them close to our venue and they really fit with the theme of the day.

    Yes, we had a table with a few framed photos of our e-pics, along with framed photos of parents and grandparents on their wedding days.

    I was thinking about using it around the guest book area once we take our engagement photos but it depends how they turn out and if i change my mind 85 times before then.

    We put ours into our guestbook that I ordered from Shutterfly. Other than that, no. I'm not even going to display my bridal portraits, people can just come see me if they want to see me!

    We are having a rustic theme and I got quite a few pictures of us throughout our relationship printed as polaroids to hang by twine and clothespins throughout the barn. Also, thinking about having just an 8x10 photo of my FH and I on the guestbook table.

    Most likely I will. My photographer includes the engagement session.

    My mom put them in really nice frames with some decorations around them and put them around her wedding reception. I thought they looked good and we're going to do the same.

    I think I will want to display a few of them. We haven't decided what kind of guest book we want, but I have liked the Shutterfly books of engagement pictures that I've seen at other weddings.

    As far as displaying pictures go in general, my FMIL sent me an idea the other day for table numbers, where each sign includes a picture of the bride and groom at the age corresponding to the table number. I thought that would be more subtle than a slideshow.

    I am thinking of displaying a few at the sign in table.

    I made a guestbook with my engagement photos, but I also plan to frame small (5x7 or smaller) pictures of us together to use as part of each table's centerpiece.

    I think we're going to have some larger prints made of our engagement photos (FMIL works for Walgreens corporate - yay employee discount on photo prints!) and put them by the guestbook and gift tables. There are some very pretty pictures that we haven't shared on social media, so I think it will be nice to share them with our guests.
