About Me: After 9 years of dating, I’m finally getting hitched and planning a multi-cultural wedding in Orange County, California. I think making brownies is my secret passion in life - I will make my mark in this world through them (a la Betty Crocker). Aside from baking, I also enjoy scrapbooking, being a dessert connoisseur (current fave: French macaroons), photography and I’m also a self confessed spa virgin turned addict.
Photobooks: A Nice Gift
February 26th, 2008 @ 6:44 pm by Mrs. Gardenia
My MOH recently gifted me a blurb book showcasing all of the pre-wedding events that we had, from our getting-to-know-the-wedding-party barbecue, my bachelorette/girlie gathering day, my work happy hour/bridal shower and the bridal shower.
I just love my blurb book and it makes for a great coffee table book to look at and remember how much fun we’ve had. It’s a standard hardcover book with a landscape layout, but it looks like they have tons of templates to choose from. Shipping took about a week and the cost is about the same as Shutterfly, maybe give or take a few dollars. Here are some pictures…
We also created a photobook guestbook for our wedding through Shutterfly. I had a great experience with them because I found the site very user friendly. I’ve been comparing different services like Shutterfly, Blurb, Kodak Gallery and others to find out which to use for our wedding and honeymoon photos. I think we’ll be making at least 6-8 photo books since we’ll be sending a book to our relatives that are out of the country and couldn’t make it to the wedding, plus a book for our honeymoon pictures as well.
Do you have any recommendations to make the decision making easier?
