Turn Your Cool Engagement Photos into Amazing Save-The-Dates!
Thursday, April 28, 2011
You've taken great engagement shots that you're dying to share with everyone you know. Now what? How about Save The Date (STD) invites with your picture on it! If anyone can come up with unique ways to turn your photos into custom wedding paper, it's Shannon O'Kelly of Southall Eden Paperie who sent us a few samples of Save The Dates and invitations she's put together!
Peel & Stick: Turn your picture into a little square sticker that your guests can then place on their wall or desk calendars! This is a really creative way to get your guests' attention and they'll be pretty aware as the date approaches!
Envelope Liner: What a fun surprise it will be for guests when they open the envelope and see you and your fiance right there! Placing the picture on the envelope liner is another fun way to grab the recipient's attention because it's the first thing they see!
Matching Accents: For this Save The Date, Shannon has matched the ribbon to the blue of the bride's dress to accentuate the picture. The entire Save The Date is very classic and sophisticated and when I see this, I know I'm in store for a pretty cool wedding.
Around the Enclosure: When your picture is something guests have to touch to get to the message enclosed, it's definitely going to get their attention. This option also gives you the opportunity to share with your guests more than one image from your engagement shoot.
The couple's style looks fun and stylish, much like the invitation design.
It's not often you have great pictures of yourselves taken and when you do, you wouldn't want them to just sit in an album or on a disc unseen - using them for your Save The Date or even Invitations would be such a nice way to show those pictures off.
Thank you to Southall Eden Paperie for sending us these examples of the ways you can use your engagement pictures. Visit their website for more samples of their work and when you give Shannon a call to talk about your stationery, don't forget to tell her you're an ABG Bride!

Blogging is something I’ve enjoyed doing for years. My interests lie mostly in lifestyle related topics like fashion, style, design, food and weddings. When I heard Ashley was looking to bring on new members to the ABG team, I jumped at the opportunity - I can’t think of a better way to stay involved in weddings than to write about them and to stay in touch with the trends and new ideas. Lucky for me, Ashley likes my blog and trusts my experience to bring me on and so far, it’s been a blast.
