Photo books

I think that out of everything that we did at our wedding our photo guestbook might have been the biggest hit. 



For our wedding guestbook, I had put together a Mypublisher photobook of Josh and me - our pictures over the years with friends and family. I tried to put in all the pictures of our friends and family attending the wedding and the idea was that the guests would probably sign near/around their picture.  
Well... The guests loved it. The idea of a photo guestbook. But more importantly a photobook itself with great quality of pics. 

We all have tons of digital photos stored in our hard drive. Now, instead of going through the hassle of getting the photos printed and putting them into an album manually, with the new photo developing sites, you can forego the manual labor and just use software to print all the photos out in a book. Eureka!

Since then, I have gotten so many questions from people about Mypublisher. As I have written earlier, I have been quite happy with all the books I have gotten from them so far, and I would not hesitate to recommend them. But you can also get them through other photo developing sites. Other brides have recommended Blurb, Lulu, Shutterfly, Mpix (I haven't used them for books, but I use them for prints and they are amazing) and of course, Apple iPhotobook. 

Most places only offer canvas cover (in boring colors) or photojacket cover (which you can customize), but if you want something a little more ready-made snazzy, consider Kodak Gallery. They've partnered up with Martha Stewart to make the cutest photobook covers:
