“I feel like a photo adds more of a personal feel, especially since we were doing a more simple beach style wedding with only close friends and family.”

–Alexa

Photo wedding invitations are a lot more personal and one of a kind. It’s like “inviting your friends face to face”, Bali bride Stefie says.

We couldn’t agree with her more! It really adds another dimension to inviting your loved ones to your big day!

And, this is especially true for couples who are inviting their friends from overseas!

It no doubt brings a smile to your guest’s face when they first open your wedding invitation… There is more personalities in a photo wedding invitation because your photos reflect more of you two as a couple.

“I have had nothing but positive responses regarding my photo wedding invites. People stated that knowing the type of people we are that best captured that.”

–Lisa

Engagement Photography: Jessica Noelle Photography

“I loved the idea of something personal, something that felt like us I guess. We aren’t really formal/fancy people and this felt right.

I made the decision to go this route but my husband loved the idea as well. We had nothing but positive comments, people actually didn’t want to send the rsvp cards back because they wanted them to keep and put on their refrigerators :)”

–Erin

That’s definitely a good problem to have when your wedding guests don’t want to send your RSVP card back because they want to keep it themselves lol

Your engagement photos give your guests a glimpse of what your wedding will be like.

If you and your partner are a fun and adventurous couple, make sure your engagement photographer capture that!

3. Stay Out of the Bin

–Alexa

How amazing is that!?

Just think about all the time, effort and money you’ve spent on them, we’re guessing you’d want your wedding invitations to last for a long time, right?
