Im working on my save-the-dates and need some advice on a few things. I know I want to have a picture of us on them. Would it be too personal to have a photo of us kissing? Would one of us just hugging me more appropriate? I am also considering magnet save-the-dates. Any opinions on those? I thought it would be cute if people could put it on their fridge, but would that be weird if it had our picture on there? I''m just having a hard time making a decision, and I want to make the right one since these will be the first thing our guests receive about our wedding. Thanks in advance for any advice an/or opinions!!

This is not a popular opinion... but to me, kissing is too personal if you want your guests to put it up in their home. Especially on their fridge, and especially when it comes to your parents friends and your family. I think it can work if there is a big backround and the kiss is not "front and center". I would go with the hugging.

As far as magnets... alot of stainless steel fridge''s aren''t magnetizied. I didn''t do magnets, but lots of people love them.

These are my personal opinion. I would just take "all" of your guests into consideration when choosing the picture.
 
I agree with Mere 100%. I hate seeing pictures of couples kissing, and we can''t use magnets on our ss fridge so I always just enter the date into my agenda and toss the magnets.

I think a picture of you two hugging would be adorable.
 
it depends what your friends and family are like. if friends sent one to me of them kissing, I''d still put it on my fridge. I''d think it was cute!

we have also done STD fridge magnets. unfortunately, we didn''t have any great photos of ourselves, so I got one of a bride and groom holding hands (you can''t see their faces).

we know that most people probably won''t put it on their fridge. I attached the magnets to cards and on the back of the card I wrote our wedding website. so if they don''t really use the magnet, at least they''ll have our website to find all the info.
 
There are lots of people who would think a kissing save-the-date is cute (I like it!) but there are also plenty who would think it tacky. I think your safest bet is to go with a photo of you and your fiance that everyone would find sweet - but one that still reflects your personality!
 
I agree that you just have to know the people you are sending them too. I would not think twice at a pic of 2 of my friends kissing (and I love magnets, so much easier to keep track of).
 
Personally I hate the kissing std''s and wouldn''t put one up in my house. I think one cuddling or doing something which is very you is far nicer.
 
Ditto, as cute as we think ourselves look when we kiss, other people just don''t want to see it first thing when they go to the fridge for milk on their wheaties first thing in the morning.
 
Thanks everyone, I will go with the non-kissing picture, just to be on the safe side. But I''m still undecided on the magnet idea or not, Im leaning towards using them though!
 
I agree with everyone else that a kissing picture might be too intimate.

I don''t like magnet STD''s. FI''s friend sent us one and its on our fridge but I think its weird and tacky looking.

I think that the STD should be a little more "fun" than the invitation, but it should still convey the type of wedding that you plan to have.
 
Personally, I think the magnets are a cute idea for family and friends. I am not particularly fond of the kissing ones, but I think the hugging or cuddling is nice.

If you need a good place to get the magnets, I recommend Magnet Street weddings. They were pretty cheap and came relatively quickly.

Let me know if you have any questions

I think a picture kissing would be totally cute! I've received Save the Dates like this and thought they were cute. I do agree with others that it matters who you're sending them to, so a non-kissing picture would be safer.

I also think magnets are awesome. With a simple postcard people can still hang it on their fridge, but making it a magnet just saves them a step. The ones I looked at were a bit more expensive than postcards, but I didn't look very hard either.
 
Congratulations. Another thing off the list!! Can''t wait to see them.
