    So we have a ton of great photos - the question is what now? 

    Should we do some scrapbooking, create a real photo album or make one of those photobooks like from blurb or snapfish (or anything else if you have better recommendations)

    I love the photobooks! I just love the idea of a big coffee-table sized book with full-sized prints. That's what we're doing.

    Oh gosh. I'm in the same boat as you, I have a mountain of photos from the wedding. I'd scrapbook but since I have soooo many I think that would just get expensive (since I love tons of embellishments) and I wouldn't be able to fit all the ones I wanted in it so I'm going to go with a photo album most likely. I'm not familiar with blurb or snapfish so I'll have to check them out.

    I don't like the idea of my photos being online ... so I know that I won't do that. I really love the big coffee table books too. So that's what I'm having done for me, my mother and father and my inlaws

    Ok I looked at the snapfish photo books and those are stinkin' cute! So I'd go with one of those or a photo album :)

    I've done a couple of scrapbooks online and then just had a cd made of the all the photos.  I've used kodak and shutterly.  I liked shutterfly better because you had more options such as changing the font size and color.

    If you have a photoediting program such as photoshop then you can create your pages in there and apply to shutterfly.  There are digital scrapbooking kits you can find online that have shapes, caption blurbs, borders etc that you can use as layers in photoshop.

    Have fun scrapbooking!

    I did a photo book on Shutterfly for my sister's wedding photos, and it was so fun to do!  I plan to make one for a friend's wedding I'm going to in October, and mine, too!

    The photobook does seem like a good option.  Does anyone know if you can add text in blurb, I like the scrapbooking idea so that we can tell our story with the pics, but I know some of the photobooks allow for text options.  Or which is the best photobook bang for the buck while still allowing for creativity?

    we're doing a mixture of prints in a book and blurb type books.  My parents really want old school prints in a book, so they'll go that route and we'll do the big pro-book with our photographer (which reminds me I need to email him) and then a few blurb type books with photos from the rehersal dinner/showers/etc.

    We're doing both a scrapbook and a photobook.  I'm planning to order photobooks for all of our families and am planning on using mac for them.
