PRO TIP

If you’re feeling
nervous about your
day-of photos,
we recommend
booking a test
run ahead of your
wedding date. Not
only will it give you
some gorgeous
engagement
photos (which you
can even use on
your save-the-
dates), it’ll also give
you more time to
bond with your pro.

A great time for your RSVP date is 1 month
before the wedding. Caterers usually need

leaving you about 1 week to track down

Q: Can we include our registry

We definitely recommend not mentioning
