Pictures on Wedding Invitations

Brooke, on December 19, 2018 at 6:58 PM Posted in Planning 0 16
So for our save the dates, we put our engagement photos on a magnet. Is it tacky to use another photo for the official wedding invite? I’m not sure if people usually put their pictures on wedding invites...

    I would only put a picture on the invite if it’s a more casual wedding.

    I personally don't like pictures on the actual invites but I wouldn't say it's tacky. It just feels a lot less formal to me.

    Hey Brooke!! I don't think it's tacky at all, it'll be a nice touch and you'll get a chance to use more of your photos!!! Including a picture on the invite isn't something people do often but it definitely is a nice addition!

    How's the rest of your planning coming along?

    Here's an example:

    Depending on the feel of your wedding. Formal = No pics
    Casual = Whatever pic you want 🙂

    I wasn’t initially planning on using a picture, but when my fiancé and I put this together e loved it! We have a lot of great engagement photos, so we just figured we should take advantage. I just wasn’t sure if it made our wedding less fancy or whatever. We’re getting married at a really nice hotel that’s considered a top venue in Central Florida. But it will be semi-formal attire. The venue is very gardeny and features a lot of artwork.

    If you're planning a semi-formal wedding at a really nice hotel then I would not include a pic on your invitation because it would contradict your vision. The invitation sets the tone of your wedding and alerts your guests to the formality of the wedding. A picture on the invitation comes across very casual.

    I've never seen a picture on a wedding invite, but it wouldn't bother me if there was!
