Wedding Favors and Save the Dates!

We recently attended a wedding where the bride and groom had a very creative and original idea for wedding favors for all their guests. They hired a cartoon artist and gave each couple or family an opportunity to have their portraits sketched. The bride and groom tied in the favors with their save the date cards. When they mailed their cards out about 7 months ago the image they used was a cartoon sketch of themselves. Everyone at the reception could not stop talking about how fun it was!

Choosing the PERFECT photo for your Save the Dates.

Everyone wants their save the dates to be perfect. Part of a perfect save the date is choosing the perfect photo. Choosing the right photo may involve more than just making sure you both look good.

1. When choosing a photo make sure the quality is good. Try not to use photos that you have taken on your phone or copied off of facebook. If it looks blurry on your screen it is going to print blurry. The more crisp the photo the better it will look on the save the date.
