500 Wedding Ideas

Brides (or grooms) - how are you planning to display your wedding photos?

How many is too many to display around the house? We don't want it to look like a shrine to ourselves! Is it self-centered to send a wedding photo out with our holiday cards? Any fun ideas of what to do with some of the photos?

1. My friend just got married and they only have one A4 sized photo in their living room and I think they have one in their bedroom. As my friend said it was an event in their life, all be it a lovely one, but not their life. Also the one photo in the living room is probably the best one, people are drawn to looking at it so if they were plastered everywhere it wouldn't seem as special.
2. For our Christmas card the first year we were married, we sent out a picture of us during our honeymoon. We were out to dinner on the beach, it was Hawaii at evening.. a great photo. We have a wedding picture hanging on the wall in our living room, and another in our master bedroom (which very few people see, anyway!) There is another of us and our immediate families (parents, siblings) at the altar after our wedding which is in a frame on the living room table.
3. One joint photograph is enough (Cabinet size)(or A4 size). Displaying photos everywhere spoils the beauty of the house.
4. i keep a photo of us in front of the church(black and white) and a photo of a close-up of our hands displayed in our bedroom. they have been there for 22 years. they are reminders to my husband and i of our special day. it's like those photos are just for us. i like that.
5. I live in an apartment so it's a bit different. Note that I also have many photos of family and friends around not just of us as a couple. I have my engagement portrait hung on the wall. It is photograph of us on the beach. I have a picture of us in a frame of two rings joining together. It's engraved with our names and wedding date in the middle. I also have a picture on our night table in a frame that says Mr. & Mrs. The other photos are in albums. Our thank yous will have our wedding picture in them also. If you want to do the holiday card, I think it's a cute idea. Your family will like it especially if you didn't send pics out with the wedding thank yous.
6. My husband and I have a few of our favorite wedding pictures around the house in some of the picture frames we got as wedding gifts. We also have a photo album on our entertainment center of all of our wedding pictures so if any of our friends want to look at more they can. I figure since we just got married that once more time goes by I might replace some of the wedding pictures with other pictures that are more current, but for now it works for us. As for the holiday cards, I would probably not put a wedding picture in them. I'd put one more current of the two of you by your Christmas tree or maybe one from your honeymoon instead. If you haven't done your thank you cards yet, my husband and I made wallets of our favorite wedding pictures and put one in each thank you card. Another idea that you could do with some of your wedding pictures is make a memory book with them. You can do this on walmart.com in their photo center area. It is relatively easy and they turn out awesome. We just did this and gave one to each of our parents as thank you's for helping out with the wedding and they loved them. You could also do this for a Christmas gift as well.
7. I'm planing on sending out a wedding photo with our Christmas cards! For pics around the house, so far we have a 8x10 on the wall, a special frame that holds another 4x6 and the cover to our program, I have another frame that will hold pics of us, the wedding party and family, and then we have 2 albums. Hey, if you got some really nice wedding pics don't be shy about showing them off! I know we got a lot!
8. im getting married next fall and we have a 1 yr old daughter so we'll display pur family photo, the one of the 2 of us and maybe the one with his imediate family and mine with us.
