With so many beautiful save the dates cards now available, how can you also have the same kind of gorgeous photo like the couples featured in the samples?

There is no rule that says your save the date cards must have a photo. Traditionally, the save the date card is simply a way to announce your exciting news. It also serves as a courteous, advance wedding invitation with few details other than who and when.

Getting the Best Save the Date Card Photo

While the trend in personalized photo save the date cards is growing, having a great photo to use might be the deciding factor for whether or not to personalize your save the date cards.

Spontaneous

Most couples, especially the bride herself, aren’t thinking about the photo when the proposal comes. As for the one doing the proposing, he is more likely concerned with not sweating too visibly and balancing on that knee. Some with the forethought to capture the moment might rely on others to film or photograph you, as evidenced by YouTube. But the emotion of the moment won’t necessarily result in a photo you want to showcase for eternity by printing it on a save the date card!

Favorite From the Files

Your next option would be to check photos already in your files. It’s worth looking for a picture that conveys some aspect of your experiences together–a special trip, a social event, or a photo taken by family or friends. Or go with a good photo that simply compliments both of you.  If you have a paper copy only, scan the photo to create an electronic file you can upload onto an online wedding stationery website, like www.LookLoveSend.com.

Professional Photo Shoot

You may want to allocate some of your budget to scheduling a professional photo shoot. You can use a professionally taken photo in your save the date cards, a published engagement announcement, a handy refrigerator save the date magnet, your wedding website, and other wedding stationery components.

Once you have your photo, you’ll need to decide on a design for your save the date cards. You may want to coordinate the design with your wedding invitations, as offered by the complete wedding invitation suites available at www.looklovesend.com.
