Hey ladies, my wedding is Sept. 22, and I know that we need to get save-the-dates out soon. I am debating over whether to do a traditional STD with no picture, or rushing to have our engagement shoot done and using one of those photos.
I know the picture STDs are really popular now, but I was just curious...what are you all doing? Is there a particular reason why you chose the type that you did?
If we don't go the photo route then we will probably use the engagement shoot for our guestbook. TIA for any input!

[QUOTE]You won't want to "rush" getting engagement pics just for a STD - your photographer might not be able to get you your pictures back in enough time for a STD to be relevant before you send out invites. An alternative, if you really want a picture, would be to just use a nice picture you already have of the two of you. I've attached my STD just for funsies.

With our photographer, she would be able to do our shoot then let us look through her camera that day and pick a few of our favorites. She would then edit the favorites that night so that we could have a quick turnaround time. But, Smartlypretty, you are right...it would still take me a while to get them ordered and addressed. Surely not 2 months if I had help, but at least a few weeks.
I think I will probably go the traditional paper route just to save myself the hassle of doing the pics, choosing the perfect one, THEN choosing a STD that goes well with the picture size/shape/our clothing colors, etc.
They were a huge hit! And probably my favorite thing we've done so far!
