Make a Wedding Memory Book

As the years go by after your marriage day plenty of the critical happy memories can fade and making a marriage memory book is a perfect way to chronicle the whole marriage process to preserve those special memories.  Wedding memory books can be purchased readymade with individual pages for guest lists, a family lineage and tons of pages for photos, but you may also make your own.  Let’s look at what you want to consider when making your own marriage book. 

Many couples start to think about 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 Sydney wedding videographer, book hotels etc, but a brilliant idea is to make one that includes everything before the wedding as well .  You need to think about if you want a collection of only wedding day memories or if you would like to include the bachelor and bachelorette party that is certain to have some of the greatest moments to include, although maybe a section at the rear of the book should be reserved for those photos. 

Your marriage book can contain several, chapters if you like, that may chronicle each and every special moment and memory from the time that you first became engaged.  The most important thing that you need to keep in mind is that once the final chapter has been written it can be altered in the future, so keep as much souvenirs as you can in case you choose to edit your book in years to come.  When you are choosing photographs ensure that you keep at least 2 copies of each as this will permit you to be more creative and if you need to change the layout and cut some fancy shapes you will always have spare photos. 

Let everybody, acquaintances and family, know that you’re going to be making a wedding memory book and you’ll be surprised at what number of people are prepared to make a contribution to it.  Folks will keep an eye open for certain items at the bridal shower, wedding reception and other celebrations that often make up the entire marriage process, to give to you for inclusion in your wedding book.  Occasionally something as simple as the ribbons on the marriage bands can drop to the floor unnoticed, but if folks know that you are making a collection of all your memories they are going to pick it up and give it to you later on at the reception. 

Dependent on when you make a decision to start a documentation of your marriage will decide on the theme and design of your book.  If you plan really early then you can co-ordinate the book to fit into your marriage theme.  Most wedding memory books only cover from the wedding day to the honeymoon, but how great would it be to get some video footage included on your wedding video of you and your other 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 and just add it to your wedding video package.

Beginning to add to your marriage book as early as is possible after you have decided to be married will mean that you have a smashing story book that not only you and your partner, but also friends and family can look thru when you are all together again at birthdays, Christmas or other festivities in years to come.
