Let’s Try This Again!

May 29th, 2008 @ 11:29 am by Miss Cream Puff

After receiving some comments that confused the heck out of me on my last post, I decided to re-read my post. As it turns out, Ms. Cream Puff is NOT THAT BRIGHT. Half of my post somehow got deleted before I posted it! So let’s try this again. The pink thing is my PHOTO ALBUM, not my invitations.

Back to Friday–I finally picked up my letterpressed invites from the printer. However, I also stopped by Paper Source, where my manager, Schbvonne, had the album she had created for Mr. Cream Puff and I. It is MAGNIFICENT. My excitement about the invitations was totally dwarfed by my excitement about the album. Now I am sad, because you guys all thought the album was my invitation, and my invitation is not nearly as cool as the album. You will all be disappointed by my invitations!!! Oh well, I guess. What’s a dense puff to do? Not too much at this point!

Anyway, so here is the album.

The Wedding Album

April 18th, 2008 @ 4:24 pm by Miss Cream Puff

My manager at Paper Source has started making beautiful, handcrafted photo albums for people. She offered to make me one as a wedding gift, which is super awesome of her, especially after I saw one (it was gorgeous!). It brought up a question for me, though:

Would we use it?

Mr. Cream Puff and I are so digital. We never have pictures printed. We both have flickr accounts for our photos, and if we want to share them some other way, we email them to people. Heck, my tivo even allows us to stream our photos onto our TV if guests come over and want a slideshow.

Furthermore, we are trying to decrease the amount of “stuff” we have. I used to scrapbook a lot, but I never look at the scrapbooks anymore. They just sit there and collect dust; soon, they will likely move into a box in the basement, where they will sit and take up space. We have a lot of things like that, which is why I have been doing a constant deep cleanse of our house, trying to get rid of stuff we don’t actually need.

So really, do we want or need a photo album?

What do you guys think? Are any of you super digital or trying to create a life less filled with clutter?

Like Mrs. Bee, we haven’t ordered our wedding photo album yet. We were married almost 7 months ago and for the last few months our 1900+ photo proofs have been sitting our our sideboard waiting for me to prioritize them.

Our photographer Cappy just fed-ex’d us our wedding negatives.

march-2008-026.gif

At one of our first meetings, we were surprised when Cappy told us that half the time couples never make their wedding albums! 

Now it’s been over three years since Mr. Bee and I got married, and we still haven’t made our albums.  We plan to make them… some day soon. ;) 

Have you procastinated on making your wedding albums?

How To Lay It Down

March 14th, 2008 @ 3:51 pm by Mrs. Caramel

Whew!! With my new job wiping me out everyday, I barely have the time to do any of my scrapbooking and album picking.  My photographer finally sent me the PDF version of our wedding album. I was really excited to see the pages and was pleasantly surprised to see that he had added about 6 more pages than what was on our contract. We had a pretty good relationship with our photographer but that was so nice of him to allow me to ask for changes! I’m not sure how many photographers actually would allow that.

I had some suggestions for him on the first version of our album. For instance, for the stiff formal family pictures that you absolutely need to have, I wanted to have a faded background of this really crazy picture just for fun. I loved having a faded background instead of having it be plain black or white. Also, Mr. Caramel and I both really preferred black backgrounds instead of white.

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…

Our Blurb Book

January 5th, 2008 @ 12:31 pm by Mrs. Plum

One word: AWESOME!

I have to admit that I was a bit scared because 1) what kind of quality should I expect for only $29.99 and 2) it seems to be a frequent problem on the Blurb forums where people receive an album with their cover but someone else’s book inside (and then a couple days ago, this happened to a fellow Weddingbee-er), but my fears were alleviated when I opened up the cardboard box today! Yay!

The quality is great for the price - you really can’t beat $29.99 for a 40 page hardcover book. The pictures are so clear and the book is really sturdy! (but of course, you need to use high-res pictures for it to come out this clear)

Here are some snapshots of our book:
