Hello,

 

I was wondering what other DW brides do for parent albums.  I am thinking to include pics from the whole week in Jamaica in addition to our wedding day.   What have you done?

 

And would you think it makes sense to start the album with wedding pics or end with it?   (I am thinking start).  My other pics are from before and after the wedding.

 

Last, what should i put on the front cover of a parent album?  a pic of me and hubby?  or something more generic, like a pic of the beach at our resort

IMO...the cover should be one of your fav shots from the wedding (prob just you and hubby). When you think about it.... The book really is about the wedding. So unless you have some shots from throughout the week that you are madly in love with just have those pics in a sep album. Hope this helps!!!

thanks. i get what you mean about the book being about the wedding.  but i don't want to make two albums per set of parents! for myself, i  made an album of Jamaica + honeymoon and then i will have a separate wedding day album.    But for our parents, we wanted to get them albums by christmas and since it was like a big family vacation, i thought it would be fun to include some non-wedding pics from Jamaica. i just don't know if that's weird or not.

Hey this is all about doing things your way. That really will make a great Christmas present. How do you plan on making the books?

i am going start with one through adoramapix and see how it comes out.  then maybe the other one through mpix.   although, i just did my honeymoon album through shutterfly and if i really like it, i might use it for parent albums, at least one of them,.

There is a girl on here that posted the most awesome thank you books. She had them made through mypublisher.com and they were amazing. The layout is just like drag and drop. They were really nice for around $10. I plan on using them for thank you books for my guests at DW. Are more of your pics posted on BDW now?

It would be a memory of the whole experience, not just the one day.

 

 

glad you think so! 

 

i hope others rely with their opinion too!

This is a great idea.  I was thinking of just doing a photo frame but an album with lots more pictures from the vacation would be even better. 

 

Would it be cheesy to give a little card to each parent telling them we are creating photo albums for them as a wedding/thank you gift?

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
