Family Photo List
Family photos are one of the most important parts of your day, but they can also be the most time-sensitive.
To keep things running smoothly, we recommend creating a clear and organized list ahead of time.
A Few Tips
- List names of each person, not just “mom” or “uncle”
- Keep your list to around 10–15 groupings
- Assign someone (maid of honor, best man, or family member) to help gather people
- Share your list with anyone helping ahead of time
Suggested Photo Groupings
Start with your largest group and work down to smaller combinations.
