You may have seen your friends and kin share their save the date photoshoot and wondered how you could make yours unique.
As you finally seal those perfect dates to celebrate your love with your wedding, you want everyone to be a part of this milestone. Giving everyone enough notice and time enables them to sort their plans to be a part of your celebrations. This is where a Save the Date comes handy – announcing the dates for them to block on their calendars while other plans come to fruition. And what better way to announce it than through an adorable Save the Date photoshoot? We’ve compiled some of our favorite Save the Date photoshoot styles and ideas to help you share the big news in style.
Add that DIY Touch
An announcement of your special date handmade by you can be such a beautiful, personal touch to your save the date photoshoot. Besides wowing your special someone with your handy skills, it’s a notch above superimposing text or photoshopping the date in. This heart shaped sign, for instance is an adorable way to bring your own personality into your announcement. Use a thick marker to ensure the writing is clear and decorate with little details that you love to make it truly yours.
Let your Pet Pooch Announce
While the date of your wedding being announced is every bit special already, getting your dog into the action makes it so much cuter! Find a comfortable accessory for them to wear that can be printed or hand-painted with the date and include this best friend into your save the date photoshoot. Ensure your pet is well fed and in good mood at the date of the shoot to make it easy for your photographer. It could possibly take a couple of tries – but the aww-factor of your invited guests makes it so worth it! See more photos from this couple’s gallery here.
Spell it out for them
Build the suspense with using scrabble tiles. Use them to spell out your official hashtag or get some photoshop magic to convert it to your date. It’s a nerdy, yet immensely endearing way to announce your special day. And for extra bonus, you can try and beat each other at scrabble right after your save the date photoshoot!
Make it all trip-py
If you’re a couple who love to be on the loose, your save the date photoshoot should definitely be on a road trip! We love this idea of integrating the date with the personality of the couple. The license plate of the car announces the wedding while they travel together at the brink of starting another beautiful journey together. It’s always a great idea to break the stereotype and make something that’s truly unique.
It’s on the Menu
If a cozy afternoon in your favorite diner together is your idea of the perfect date, then let the foodies in you prevail. Pick a romantic cafe for a date and hold up the menu card for a quick snap. It can easily be replaced with your Save the Date details to make it an intimate announcement. The happiness in your eyes will say all that needs to be said to make all your loved ones just as happy!

The Telltale Signs
What’s more spectacular than finding a larger than life sign that announces your wedding? Make it even more meaningful by taking a photo from your proposal. We love how this Marry Me sign seals the deal for the couple and makes such a stunning statement to all their loved ones. See more from this gallery here.
Turn the Save the Date Photoshoot to Video
Why stop at just one photo? Compile your save the date photoshoot into a beautiful video slideshow and tell your story before announcing the big date! Add music that matches the theme of your love story and personalize it with your feelings. Make it as special as you can, because you won’t settle for anything short of it!
No matter what you decide for your save the date photoshoot, remember it’s the first everyone will hear of your big day so make all the noise you’ve ever wanted to. Even if it’s an out of the ordinary idea, try it and let your love shine through!
