Sign our Guest Book!

June 6th, 2011 @ 4:19 pm by Ms. Gazelle

We decided to create a guestbook with engagement photos. We thought is would be a great combination of our favourite photos coupled with well wishes and advice for a long and happy marriage from our loved ones. I picked up a Groupon for Photobook Canada ages ago and I’ve been holding on to it for just this purpose. There were so many styles to choose from, but we went with the Guest Book.

The guest book has an image wrapped hard cover and the pages are a lovely textured and heavy 170 gsm paper.

We went with a 12 x 12 guest book, so it is definitely a great size!

The software was fairly straightforward to use and I spent a full evening designing the book.

I found the printed colours to be very true. They are just as vibrant on the original pictures from Sakura Photography.

I tried to leave some white space on almost every page so that our guests could leave well wishes next to the photos.

I think the quality is fantastic. It looks so professional!

I created a sign using Pea Aimee from Fonts for Peas. “Please sign our guestbook…and leave us words of advice for a long and happy marriage!” I also picked up a few Le Pens by Marvy from Michaels. These pens are great - the ink is nice and saturated and it is smudge free. They fit perfectly in a milk glass vase I already picked up.

This does look nice! The colors look great and it was a smart move to go with smudge free (did you get archival? I hope you did..) pens.

Oh, I’m so happy you were happy with your Photobook Canada book! I too bought the groupon months ago, and just this weekend finally started putting our pages together for our wedding album.
Yay! I’m glad I’m not doing all this design work for a crappy final outcome.
