Wow! this is really nice! I love your idea! Let me know how the quality is when you receive it.

wow, That is sooo beautiful! I LOVEEEEEEE SHUTTERFLY. I was doing the same thing but we were using our engagement photos. I think we use some cancun photos also! Great idea. Thanks for Sharing!!

the book came today, and i have to say i love the quality! the pages are nice and thick, the images are bright and clear. now i can't wait to make our wedding album and gift albums for our parents! i only wish the book was a few more pages ... it seems kinda short, but there should be plenty of room for just 32 people to sign ... not everyone writes a book like i do, lol.

 

rabutler, i would have liked to use photos of us in there too, but i just don't have many good ones. we never got e-pics taken or anything.

 

nicki, i was thinking i could just somehow share the book and then you girls could edit the few pages you need to, but i'm not sure if that's actually possible? anyway, not sure if you meant steal the "idea" or the "actual book design," but all ideas are stolen LOL ... i've seen this done before with pics of the couple, like rabutler is doing, so i'm not original at all ... just came up with an alternative. if you really want these images, maybe i can burn them to a disc and send them to you? you have plenty of time before your wedding!

Yeah i've got so much time to figure everything out. But, I was able to open your book and make changes, it was really easy. I know what you mean about stealing ideas. I seem to be picking and choosing from so many different sources. All of the images were there and I was able to add some of my own. Thanks for the work that you put in. It must have taken awhile to collect all of your photos

Nice! I'm glad to hear you like the book and it's looks good :-) It sounds perfect for a guest book.

Lisa, I wanted to ask you...Did you do a Pre-Wedding Brochure??
I am so lost :-( I really want to do one..but i get so overwhelmed when it comes to gathering all of the info for Cancun & Dreams. I thought if you made one, I could copy..LOL I am horrible .
I was suppose to do all my Vista Print projects today and bailed on it. I got so overwhelmed..This Wedding has left me with little patience these days:-)

no i haven't done a pre-wedding brochure. i do "plan" on making a welcome brochure to put in the OOT bags, but we'll see how that goes ... i'll probably get lazy and bail on that too like half the other crap i "planned" on doing, LOL.

I started making a brichure to put in the OOT bags. I would be happy to share it if you'd like.

Have fun! I am sure it will be beautiful and everything you dreamed (pun kind of intended). Don't forget about us when yoiu get back; we're all dying to know how it goes.

Wow, what a great idea; I still haven't decided on a guest book, but yours is really cool. Wish I had ONE creative bone in my body; I was blessed with NONE. Lucky you!!

I saw one of those books on Kodakgallery too and it looked awesome! The girl who made it put a bunch of different pictures of her and her fiancee. She only put pictures on every other page and left a blank one for people to sign. I was thinking of doing that since my FI and I have been together since high school. i thought people would get a kick out of it.

 

My friend recently attended a wedding where they used polaroid pictures for their guest book. Each person/couple took a polaroid of themselves and taped it into the book and wrote a message to the couple. She said it was adorable!
