Photography Options
What is the best way to relive your wedding memories over and over again, the photography! When you are looking into different options for a photographer there are many avenues you can go.
One way is to talk to your friends and family and ask to look at there wedding photos. If you are happy with the way there’s turned out then this might be a good option for you! If your friends and family recommend them, this is someone you can add to your list of options.
Another way is to research different options in books and also on line. Read about different people and look at the photos they have taken. If you like there style then you can add them to your list of options.
Once you have a solid list of options, it is time to educate yourself. Get to know all the different types of packages they offer. If you have not already set up a photography budget, now is a good time to do so! Once you are familiar with the packages and your budget you can start narrowing down the options.
Take the time to talk to each of your top choices. Make sure you will work well together, and then make your final decision! If you have done the proper research and are sticking in your budget, you will be happy with the results!
Save the Date Options
You have all received it the invitation that comes before the wedding invitation the save the date card. Did you know the average engagement lasts 16 months! Usually people mail these out 6-9 months before the wedding to give all of there guests advanced notice. I have received many save the date cards over the years and for my wedding I wanted them to be very special. So I looked into all the different save the date options that were available and here is what I found…
The first option is to send out a card that has your picture on it and all of the information they need to knows to save the date. You can mail it like a post card and it is simple and pretty inexpensive. You can also choose to have a postcard with no picture and just writing on it, it is all up to you!
Another option is the save the date magnet. I really like the idea of the magnet. It is a great way to make sure your guests do not loose sight of your wedding date. Now you can choose to have a magnet with your picture on it or just writing. The magnets come in all shapes and sizes and you can choose exactly how you want them to look.
You can also do a folded save the date cards. Available in glossy or matte finishes. Also with a picture or graphics or with out. This can be mailed in an envelope or just the way it is.
With so many options it is best to look into each option and choose the one that best fits your needs and also your budget! Good luck!
