Too Sexy?

Simone, on July 30, 2019 at 9:12 AM Posted in Planning 0 54

Got our save-the-dates back and now I'm second-guessing them because what I didn't notice before is that my boobs look really huge. lol But theyre actually not. I am a 34B, but I guess because I'm laying down...now, we have 80 of these ($120) and wondering if we should trash them and pick another photo. No one in our family is super conservative, and in fact, most of our invitees are friends with the exception of my parents and his parents and brothers and sisters. Am I overthinking it?

    Is it sexy? Yes. BUT I don't think it's worth changing and ordering all new ones. I think you'll be okay sending these out. Especially because the majority of your guest list is friends and not "old" family members.

    For a conservative family I would probably crop the photo a bit so it looks like a straight black shirt with some cleavage other than a bra under mesh (I don't see a bit of cleavage a problem at all really - just that it looks like a bra instead of a full shirt).

    That being said, you look gorgeous! I love the photo and the love in both your faces.

    If I saw this STD without reading your post I would never think twice about your boobs being too huge or too sexy lol. I don’t think they look huge or too provocative at all. There is just a nice cleavage & a see-through shirt.
    I think it’s “know your crowd” thing. I know our guests wouldn’t think anything bad if our STD looked like this. And if your friends/family see you dressed in similar way & if your crowd is not uber conservative, then you’re good! And even if you have some conservative guests, it’s your STD, so it should reflect who you & FH are & not be tailored to all your guests, anyway.

    I don't see anything sexy honestly. I think it's adorable. I love that it's straight to the point and a good quality photo.

    You guys picked them for a reason! I don't think they are too sexy at all. It shows so much personality, I love them. I say go for it!

    I think the STD is cute! I can see how more conservative recipients might have an issue but you already said that isn’t really your crowd anyways.

    I definitely don’t think it’s worth redoing. Save yourself the money, time and stress. They look great!

    I find the mesh shirt and bra to be more provocative than the cleavage. I personally wouldn't send these to my closest friends and family, but I think this is a know your crowd thing.

    Know your crowd! I'm relatively conservative & I think it's fine, but if your nervous about it maybe call the company you got them from, I know a lot of times people don't have issues getting new ones if they aren't satisfied if it wasn't a huge order. I'd say if it's free or just a couple bucks for shipping and would make you more comfortable, go for switching. But I also think if you're in love with the photo, send it out!
    I agree with a previous poster, I think if you were to do some super basic editing on the small triangle that shows the cleavage, just darken the area until it matches the bra color, it wouldn't look like a bra anymore, it would just look like a mesh shirt, & that would put it at a spot I couldn't see anyone complaining about. If you aren't a photo person: there's an app called snapseed, it'll do what you need done, under tools there is a "Selective" icon, select that spot on the shirt and lower the brightness. You could then call the company and tell them it looked darker on screen than it does in print and you'd like to order new ones with an edited version of the photo you think would look better printed, that might give you better luck than asking to switch to a new photo for free/a discounted price. But once again, it looks fine as is! Same as another PP: This should reflect you guys, don't change it just because you're worried what someone else might think, only change it if you don't think it reflects you the way it is.

    It would be a bit much for a conservative but if youre sending them to not so conservative people then it's fine. It definitely does show personality though

    For my family that would be considered too sexy. I would feel uncomfortable giving them that. However your family might be different and not find it to be too much. I would show them to someone in your family or his, to gauge their reaction and go from there. Or you can just send them out and follow it up with a text letting them know that it wasn’t your intention (but in a joking playful kind of way). Regardless it’s a great picture and you look beautiful!

    Really cute pic... You know your crowd and if your parents are fine with it go for it. My parents are old school conservative and wouldn’t be thrilled, so I just wouldn’t send them one. Lol

    I agree with a PP that it looks like a bra under a sheer shirt and my family and friends would totally ask me why I was wearing lingerie in the pictures. I don’t see the cleavage as a problem, but I’m a DD so cleavage is unavoidable usually. We have a lot of older aunts, grandparents, etc many of whom are very conservative Catholics so I definitely wouldn’t send this, but you know your crowd. My thought is that you picked this outfit for a reason- presumably it reflects your style and personality, and your friends and family will see that.

    Actually, our friend showed up with her camera and I literally just threw it on. I didn't plan it out and I'd never worn the shirt before. I did a quick edit on the photo, one covering up the outline of the bra and the other making the shirt solid. I'm pretty good with Photoshop so I can go in and perfect it. Better? Which one?

    I really like the Photoshop edit you made of the solid shirt. The shirt as it is is adorable, but I'm not sure I'd want it on my STDs. I agree with a few PPs who said it looks like a bra with a mesh overlay. I don't think the cleavage is an issue at all, but I do prefer the solid look.

    Thank you. I swear, I looked at this a thousand times before I sent it off and didn't notice it. Then I open the box and I'm like, OMG. LOL. I got them at Shutterfly (great quality!) and I think they will give me a 50% credit for a reprint. I think it's worth it. Smiley smile

    The solid look is way better when i first seen the picture i was not thinking it was a save the date at all ... way so sexy a pic to be that but the second picture is way better with the solid color filling in where there was bare skin. I would do the second with the solid color first one was looking like the pic was going in a different direction then a save the date

    That’s funny, it’s a cute shirt! You’re the total opposite of me, I’m already over thinking outfits and our engagement photos aren’t for months! I think both of these look good (and it’s an adorable picture btw, the way you’re looking at him is so sweet and full of love). The full shirt is more conservative, but since that’s not a big concern for you with your guests I’d stick with just the fill in around the bra and keep the bottom sheer. It’s really up to you if you even want to try to reprint, as brides we definitely overthink things much more than our guests will!

    I don't think cleavage would be the issue but again its know your crowd. Me personally I would not be comfortable sending this photo on my save the dates because it almost looks like lingerie to me honestly. That being said if you're crowd isn't conservative and you don't mind I would just go with it. If you aren't feeling comfortable then I would scratch it. It comes down to you and FH only at this point. Are YOU GUYS comfortable with this picture hanging on peoples refrigerators and what not?

    Girl, you look GOOD!
    I'd send them, you both look great, it's not too sexy and you've already spent the money. I don't think anyone is going to get them and think anything other than that you're a good looking couple. If you're going to change it to be more conservative though, you might as well fill in the entire shirt, filling in the outline a little doesn't make a noticeable difference.

    The solid shirt edit is great if you're worried about the original being too sexy!
