AD – How to Use Photo Prints at Your Wedding
It’s no secret that a lot of work goes into planning a wedding – from finding the perfect dress to (literally) selecting the icing on the cake. However, you also have to find a way to make your day your own. Thankfully, there are various ways in which you can achieve this goal. For example, you can print photos of yourself and your partner and use them when creating wedding invitations or as additional decoration at your reception. Either way, this is a great way to bring a more personal touch to a formal event. Furthermore, there are plenty of creative ways in which you can use photo prints at your wedding!
Here are some great ideas to get you started:
Send out Photographic Invitations
In the digital age, it’s very rare that we receive invitations to our door. However, this does not mean that they are not appreciated. Furthermore, paper invitations can make a great keepsake for your guests while ensuring that the date remains fresh in their minds. While there are many different things to remember when sending out wedding invitations (especially if you want to ensure you don’t forget any important guests), you should also work to ensure that your invitations are fun and unique – and, what better way to do this than by adding some photographs! For example, you could use the first picture you took as a couple next to a more recent snap or even a photo from your engagement. When sending out invites, remember that the sooner you send them out, the better.
Create a memory wall
While you may already have hired out your dream wedding venue, you must not forget the impact that the right decorations can have on the space. For example, fairy lights are a great and inexpensive way to create the perfect romantic atmosphere for your celebrations – and they look great in pictures. However, photo prints can also make an excellent choice of wedding decoration. For example, you could print out a series of your favourite pictures as a couple (alongside some obligatory baby shots) and put together a memory wall or collage. This is a great way of sharing your unique love story with every single one of your guests – as they can track your journey from the moment you met to the big day itself. Furthermore, it also encourages you to get creative.
Use photographs as place settings
One of the biggest challenges of planning your own wedding is putting together the perfect seating plan. After all, you want to ensure that the conversation flows throughout the night and that each guest feels comfortable. As a result, you should keep an eye out for ways in which you can help your guests introduce themselves to each other and break the ice. For example, instead of traditional place settings that list only the guest’s name – you could print out a photograph of each guest instead. When selecting pictures – try to find photos that are particularly funny or compelling – as this can be a great way to get the conversation rolling.
Use photo prints in your guestbook
They say your wedding day is one of the most memorable days in your life – which means that you aren’t likely to forget the events in a hurry. However, there are plenty of ways in which you can make the memories last forever – and a guest book is one of them! However, instead of a traditional guest book where guests each write a message for the happy couple – why not take it to the next level by adding photographs to each page? For example, you could take photos during the wedding to attach later or print them ahead of time.
In short, there are various ways to introduce photo prints to your wedding day – all of which will help you bring that extra something special to your big day! And if you’re looking for photo printing in Belfast – look no further than our local Snappy Snaps store!
