Wedding Memory Books
As the years go by after your wedding day lots of the vital happy memories can fade and making a marriage memory book is an ideal way to chronicle the whole wedding process to preserve those special memories. Wedding memory books can be acquired readymade with individual pages for guest lists, a family history and tons of pages for photos, but you may also make your own. Let’s have a look at what you want to consider when making your own marriage book.
Many couples start to consider their marriage book as they start preparations for the marriage, and just include it in the list to do ; order a wedding cake, book a marriage videographer, book hotels etc, but a brilliant idea is to make one that includes everything before the marriage as well . You want to consider if you’d like a collection of only wedding day memories or if you would like to include the bachelor and bachelorette party that is sure to have some of the best moments to include, though maybe a section at the back of the book should be reserved for those photographs.
Your wedding book can contain many, chapters if you like, that will chronicle each special moment and memory from the time that you first became engaged. The most significant thing you need to be aware of is that once the last chapter has been written it can be altered in the future, so keep as much memorabilia as you can just in case you choose to edit your book in years yet to come. When you are choosing photographs make sure that you keep at least 2 copies of each as this will allow you to be more creative and if you want to switch the layout and cut some fancy shapes you’ll always have spare photos.
Let everybody, friends and family, know that you are going to be making a wedding memory book and you’ll be stunned at how many people are ready to make a contribution to it. People will watch out for certain items at the bridal shower, wedding reception and other celebrations that always make up the entire wedding process, to give to you for inclusion in your marriage book. Sometimes something as simple as the ribbons on the marriage bands can fall to the floor unnoticed, but if people know that you are making a collection of all your memories they’ll pick it up and give it to you later on at the reception.
Depending on when you decide to start a documentation of your wedding will decide on the theme and design of your book. If you plan truly early then you can co-ordinate the book to fit into your wedding theme. Most wedding memory books only cover from the marriage day to the honeymoon, but how great would it be to get some video footage included on your wedding video of you and your better half blushing as you both go through the pages of the bachelor party. If you ask your wedding videographer, they can even make a separate video story from the days leading up to your wedding, with your wedding book as the central theme.
Beginning to add to your marriage book as soon as possible after you have decided to get married will mean that you’ve got a smashing story book that not only you and your better half, but also friends and family can look through when you’re all together again at birthdays, Christmas or other festivities in years to come.
