Photo books
Good morning all
We are having Niamh christened on Sunday 5th September and one of the ideas I have had is to show photos of Niamh in her first 6 months. I was just going to print lots of photos and put in a photo album but then last night thought about doing a photo book. I was thinking off putting this near to the cake and the guest book.
However I have no idea on where to even start with doing a photo book as I have never done one before? Are they easy to do? Also how long do they normally take to arrive? (wondering if I have left it too late for it to arrive in time, especially with the bank holiday next week)? Which sites are the best? What sort of things should I be doing/look for etc
Do you think it is a good idea or a stupid one (you can be honest - DH certainly is being with lots of my ideas lol)?
As always thank you in advance xx

You just pick your fave pictures, upload them and then you can arrange it how you like. You get colour and font options and can position them, resize them however you like x
Price wise its brilliant, i've had a book made for their memory boxes and it was ??4.00 each at the time...

As for price they had an offer on at the time but for a hardback book with about 30 photos in it was under ??30. Hubby was very chuffed with it as was I the quality was brilliant

I used blurb.com for that one but I've also used myphotobook.co.uk - I made a really big flash one for our wedding pics. Took me ages but it looks fab as a coffee table book.
Price totally depends on how much you want to spend - for a smaller one they are really cheap or if you want a big hardback one they can cost up to ??200 depending on what paper quality you choose etc.
The site that will sut you best will also depend on how many photos you want to use - for snapfish you have to have all your photos uploaded to their site and you make the book online. That put me off as I didn't have my photos on there already and I like to experiment with diff photos so it would be a pain to upload loads of photos I didn't even end up using. Much easier and quicker to use a site where you download software to design the book and then upload the finished product.
Delivery times - you can usually pay extra to get them delivered quickly. It's actually designing the book that can take ages!!
Have fun!!
