What did you or going to do with actualy Wedding Pictures??

Like I mentioned on the AWThursday post, I've received a few wedding pictures from my photographer and I seriously don't know what to do with them.

Two of them are 16x20 and another 5x7 and a 4x6. I was thinking of only putting one up (my siggy pic) but I'm not sure where it would be appropriate to hang it or do you think its weird to even have a wedding portrait up? I'm so confused I've heard different opinions. HELP! TIA!

    Oh, and I meant to say "actual wedding pictures" for this post title.

    I have been plastering our home with them.  I have them in all different sizes from 8x10 to 16x20, and they're in a variety of frames.  

    I also received a gift from Mom & Dad that I'm really excited to get in the mail - we got to pick a photo from the wedding, and it's being painted on canvas!

    We also bought photo coasters from artscow.com - but I don't recommend that company b/c it took forever and shipping was a little pricey (luckily the coasters were free though).  I love them!

    For my mom's bday last week we bought a digital frame and loaded all the wedding pics on it.

    I still need to get a pic for the hubs to put on his desk at work.

    Why is it so bad to plaster them everywhere?  Put them where you want them.

    I've been lazily using them as gifts throughout the year too!

    We have a few around the house but that's about it.  It's been over a year and we still haven't gotten around to choosing our album.

    My parents/grandparents always had them up, like on the mantle. My parents had a wall of family photos, including their own parents' wedding photos and their photos. I'll frame some big ones and give them to our parents, too.

    I have been printing some out to send out with thank you notes.  Also, when I get back from the family reunion we have coming up next week I am going to be creating a book on my publisher.

    they're going to sit in an album.  I may print up one particularly good one and frame it - but I think for our 1 year anniversary we'll do some shots where it won't look like i'm in costume.  I'd rather hang e-pics than wedding pics, but we didn't do epics.

    Good post Vans - I think I'm going to frame a couple of 16x20 and put them around the house and some 8x10s as well.  I will probably put one in our bedroom and I was also thinking of framing one of my bpics in like an 16x20 for our bedroom as well. (of course one that is really really tasteful Tongue out).  And I'm definitely going to make an album - maybe a few - one of the entire wedding for us and my parents and then some of just DH and his boys (since he has sooooo many) and then me and my girls.

    I haven't done anything with ours yet!  I made 2 albums for our parents, but have not got around to even making one for my husband and I yet.  I guess having a baby takes up a lot of time =)~   But I plan on framing some and putting them on the mantle, the hallway walls and our bedroom!
