Photographs for display at the wedding

GrayCatVintage, on June 26, 2014 at 11:27 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 12

I am starting to get on board with my DIY (buying supplies and whatnot). I realized that a lot of people make a photo display for the gift table or other area. The problem is FH and I do not have hardly any pictures of us together. I think there are only 4 pictures of us taken together and two are from Halloween. In 7 years I honestly do not know how we managed to not have any pics of us together...

Anyway, should I just scrap this idea and get a good framed picture of us from our future engagement session printed up OR should I make a diligent effort to take as many photos of us together for us to use?

    I think engagement photos would be nice. Were you already planning on getting them done?

    I don't think you need any pictures. There will not be any pictures of FH and I as decorations or anywhere in the room. We'll be there ourselves, why have pictures?!

    We don't really have photos of us either, in the 7.5 years we've been together. Just use your e-pic! I agree though, you don't NEED photos of you on display.

    We're not putting photos of each other out. We figured they know what we look like and our website is full of our engagement photos. We did do a photo guest book for the reception with pictures of us growing up and some couple photos, but other than that, no other photos!

    I would probably just make a display of your engagement pictures. A picture display with only four pictures would probably look a little sparse.

    We're not doing any pictures... If your parents are still together you could alway ask for a shot of them at their wedding to if you really wanted to incorporate the pics that could give you some more to work with.. I've seen this done and it does turn out cute

    I am going to use our E-pix as the back of our table numbers to display some of them, I want to display some of the many that will be taken on Sunday (our photographer has scheduled us a 6 hour shoot)

    I think I will just use an e-pic for the gift table or something like that. E-Pics are included with our photography package and I thought it would be cute to have a "normal" picture of us for others to look at. Every picture people have seen of us we are being silly and it has been on Facebook lol. MANY family members live out of state and have never met FH so we are doing a photo StD.

    We're using a couple of e-pics and then some of us as babies & when we were younger. Not too many!

    A little twist we are doing instead of having photos displayed for the card/gift table. Is on the bathrooom doors (its a private venue) I am hanging a baby pic of each one of us.

    Maybe you could do something like this, or other little touches like this instead of a display boards of photos

    We didn't have many photos of us that I loved so instead I used our parents and grandparents wedding photos on the gift table! People seemed to love it!

    We are just using our engagement photos too. But you really don't need photos. I've seen entrance tables with beautiful flower/candle arrangements or making their own sign of some sort. I'm doing the whole "love story" thing that is sized 8x10 with the day we started dating, got engaged and wedding date and just adding 2 or 3 other 4x6 frames of us. Nothing too special. And just adding some flower petals to pretty it up a bit.
