A nice wedding book is a gift the couplewill cherish forever. Here are a few tips to get you started in puttingone together.
Prepare
In order to make your wedding book complete, you really should try andattend every event that is associated with the wedding. If your book isto be a gift, and you weren't invited to every shower or were, forinstance, only invited to events related to the bride, you will have tofind some collaborators. Get in touch with people who are attending ordid attend the events you were not able to and get as many photos asyou can (this will naturally not apply to the bachelor and bacheloretteparties). The more people you can get to contribute, the better.
If you should happen to run into someone who had the same idea as youto present the happy couple with a wedding scrapbook or photo book, seeif you can work together on one book or at least try and coverdifferent parts of the wedding process for your separate books. One ofyou, for instance, could concentrate solely on photos, while the othercan gather different sorts of physical mementos and spend more timecollecting quotes, stories, anecdotes, and that sort of thing.
Putting It Together
If you have never put together a scrapbook or photo book before, see ifyou can find a basic class at your local community center or somethingto get you started on layout, etc. There are also lots of resourcesonline, and you should be able to find a YouTube video or two that canget you started. Things to keep in mind from the outset are to useacid-free papers (these help to preserve the photos and mementos), aswell as taking the time to have a good look around online for suchitems as craft punches, quality scissors, matte papers, stamps, and thelike.
Depending on how far back you want to go, and what kind of cooperationyou get from the couple and their friends, you can even start thewedding book from when they first started dating. You could, forinstance, get a matchbook, menu, or photo from the place they had theirfirst date, or from the place he proposed, and sort of move on fromthere. You should strive to be as complete as you can, but it'sunlikely you will be able to include every significant event. As longas you realize this from the outset, you should be okay.
Binding It
There are many options out there when it comes to choosing a bindingstyle for your wedding book. Putting all the pages together in a 3 ringbinder is an easy, if inelegant solution. Double loop binding mightoffer a little more permanence and a classier look. You could also,depending on whether you are doing a scrapbook or a photo book, choosethe permanent, hardcover look and feel of thermal binding. Thesemachines are fairly inexpensive and easy to use, meaning you can haveyour own machine on hand to use whenever you choose. Take a look aroundonline or make a trip down to your local print shop to see what optionsare out there.
