How to tell everyone you are getting married? HELP, I'm so confused!
lisa, on August 10, 2012 at 12:53 PM

Mpix Photo Guest Book
Emily, on September 7, 2023 at 3:16 PM

For those of you who have used Mpix for a photo guest book for the wedding, which paper and markers did you go with? The standard paper is a textured matte finish. I am trying to avoid any smudging!

Photo Guest Book
Lindsay, on September 21, 2022 at 3:45 PM

Has anyone used Artifact Uprising for photo books? I'd love to use our engagement photos to create a guest book for the wedding. I'm looking for higher quality than a Shutterfly style photo book.
