My fiance and I are trying to take our save-the-date picture ourselves. We got wooden numbers to spell out our date, and painted them all in bright colors (first picture). I had in mind doing something artsy-fartsy with them, and did a trial of an idea I had in mind (second picture) but it turns out that it’s really hard to take cool, artsy pictures without a nice camera and editing software. Any ideas on what we could do with the numbers that would look good taken with a point-and-shoot camera?? I’m really hoping for a bright and fun save-the-date. ANY ideas would help!!!

I like where you’re going with the second picture…maybe you two could hold the numbers? You could even hold them low enough to still get the artsy feel you’re going for with the second pic. Or secure them to something like a pole that could be in front of you so they can be seen better?

I really like what you did with the second picture! To me, it looks pretty artsy and creative. I like the way the colors contrast with the back wall. You just need to adjust it so we can see the ’11 on the right.

maybe tack them onto an old plank and then you guys can be holding that? that would give it a nice solid background and the contrast you’re looking for to make them pop!

I really like the second pic. The flowers just block the 11.

I like the second one, but agree that your flower is blocking the other 1.
I hope you don’t mind, but I messed around with it on my editing program.
Hope you like it. 🙂

No problem, if you take another picture, where your flower isn’t blocking the one, I would be more than happy to do the same thing to that picture. I love editing things, haha.
