Parents Album

Kristen, on November 17, 2020 at 12:37 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 9

My husband and I are wanting to gift each of our parents a wedding album for Christmas this year and I was hoping for advice and feedback about where to get them/size/ect.

We want something that is nice quality, but that won't break the bank. Any recommendation of sites you used and pros/cons? What size and how many pages would you recommend for a parents album? And lastly, what style? We are getting a flush mount one for ourselves from our photographer, but to be honest I'm not really understanding the difference between all the style options lol.

    I get all of our photo books from Shutterfly. They are always running deals so you can almost always catch it on a sale. I have nothing but positive things to say about them.

    I got my mom an album from Shutterfly. Like PP mentioned, they’re always running promotions, and I’m sure they’ll have great Black Friday and cyber Monday deals. We didn’t limit ourselves to a certain number of pages, we just selected the photos we thought she’d like. They also almost always offer free design services. I got her the 12” x 12” and thought it was a good size. We didn’t do the lay flat album since we didn’t think it was worth the extra cost for an album that wasn’t our own.

    We got our own album through our photographer but we did our parent albums through Shutterfly. We took advantage of a promotion that allowed free extra pages. I definitely recommend Shutterfly for doing parent albums!

    We got our parents albums from Mixbook. They have ones specifically for weddings. Their books are layflat and you can pick different sizes. I picked landscape 11 x 8.5 with 31 pages. I also picked the highest quality pages which are premium lustre with a hardcover. They were on a Black Friday say so they were 50% off. We spent a total of $116 for both. The quality was amazing and their software was super easy to you.

    Shutterfly for the win! I I’ve ordered from them ‘ it wasn’t stupidly expensive.

    Along with other PPs, Shutterfly was awesome!! We ordered several books for Christmas gifts this year.

    Same here, and once you buy stuff from them, they start sending you coupons and "free" stuff.

    I have that go to the "promotions" folder in our joint email, and every so often... we buy another wedding print/ornament/bag/something!
