Kissing photo for STDs?

I've gotten mixed responses about the appropriateness of using a kissing photo for save the dates... The focal point is my ring and the "save our date" script with our actual faces just slightly blurred because of the photography. It's a professional photo (my favorite!) and there's a regular smiling photo on the back with our text.

I didn't even think twice about this until my sister jokingly said she wouldn't want to hang us "making out" on her fridge... anyone else struggled with this?

    I would say know your crowd. Are 70% of your STD's going to older folks and people like your sister who will comment or concern themselves with it? If so, I would say don't put it on. If you've got a crowd that would be more comfortable with it, then I'd say go for it. Do you post kissing pictures on FB or IG? What kind of reaction do you get? Is it better when you post non kissing photos or is it pretty much equal?

    I mean I wouldn't really think twice about it in all honesty. But I also don't put STDs on my fridge anyway. I, personally, am not a fan of lovey dovey photo STDs in general and I know I'm the super UO on this. We put our baby photos on ours. It's all a matter of personal taste anyway when it comes to that stuff, do what you want.

    @Allison, I think that is SO CUTE!!!!!!!!! Sorry if I'm going against the grain but I would totally hang that on my fridge. It seems tasteful in my opinion.

    I love kissing pictures (note my profile pic). It's not like you are in the midst of passionate sex. She needs to quit being so uptight. During weddings people kiss and it's totally appropriate to have a pic like that for you STD!

    We had a sweet kissing photo among others in our collage STDs.

    The way I see it, they see me kiss him in person, so what's the difference?

    I don't think that's a very obvious kissing picture. I think it looks good for a save the date. To me it just looks like your faces are just close to each other and are having a loving moment. You should be fine using it.

    I think it looks fine, but IMHO if I were getting a STD with a picture I'd prefer to be able to see the faces of the couple.

    Allison, I love you STD! Don't worry about the kissing, of course you'll get mixed responses but I think it's totally appropriate and sweet. Congratulations

    My mom was weird about a kissing pic and it was one of my favorites....mostly because of the background. Her and my dad are paying for everything so of course we didn't pick a kissing pic. I definitely agree though that I would rather see your faces!

    OP: your picture is cute! Just remember that one of the iconic pictures of America after WWII is the one of the sailor kissing a nurse, and they were strangers!
