Save the dates without a photo

cLe2018, on July 11, 2017 at 6:29 PM Posted in Planning 0 62

I don't know why but I feel pressure to put a photo of my FH and I on our save the dates. Is it weird to send them without a photo?

    I don't think it's odd, a couple I know had a very nature themed wedding, and unused a deer sillouhette and I thought it was nice.

    I specifically did not want a photo of us on ours. I've gotten a ton of compliments on them, and it was just a template from minted.

    We didn't use a photo. Here's a picture of the entire suite.

    Ours had a photo of a shoreline. Simple and cheap but got the point across. Its a DW so it fit. Our invitations will have photos on the back.

    It's definitely not uncommon to have a Save the Date without a photo, especially if you didn't take engagement photos. I've seen tons of great designs out there, so clearly someone is buying them Smiley smile

    I didn't do a photo. Mine was very simple and to the point. I got it off of Vistaprint

    There's a lot of options without photos and I've really liked some of them. My friends had a cute mini calendar with their date circled and names. Simple and cute!

    We did them without a photo. We loved how they came out.

    Ours didn't have a photo -- we didn't want to do engagement photos and we preferred the aesthetic of a design rather than a photo.

    No photo here either! Just a simple STD.

    We didn't do a photo. Found a nice template on minted and we received a ton of compliments. We did a photo on our invitations instead (again using a minted template).

    Definitely not! I did an illustration of my fiance and I for the back of ours and they were a HUGE hit. I had originally planned on sending them out without the illustration and they would have been just as beautiful Smiley smile

    The last two weddings I went to didn't have pics on their save the dates. Do what you like best.

    @Kelsey - that's adorable!

    I didn't have a picture of us on ours either. Though it did have a pic of our cat with yoda ears on Smiley smile

    The people you're inviting should know what you look like. It really just needs to tell them when and where.

    OMG @Kelsey K those are awesome! We just won't have engagement photos done by the time I want to send the STD's, but I don't really mind not having our photo on it. But now I'm tempted to have you do an illustration of us for ours because those are so awesome!!
