Awesome photo idea
Our photographer showed us a "scrapbook" she had made for her parents anniversary. She ordered it on WinkFlash. We loved the idea and will be using it for our wedding and honeymoon pictures.
It is a book of all of your pictures. You arrange the photos on each page and put a caption under them...you can put as few or as many on one page as you want or in one book.
It's a bound leather book that looks very high quality! Here is the site of you are interested...I can't wait to see how mine comes out!

Great idea! I should do that for our families, as they won't be at the wedding!

They are pretty inexpensive for the quality you get. When I saw her's I decided I didn't care how much I would have to pay! If I printed the pictures, bought a scrapbook, and took the hours upon hours it takes to put together a scrapbook I still would spend more time and money on my homeade one. These are professional quality and you still get the personalization of the captions underneath and the layout of each page. And it is WAY cheaper than a scrapbook!

This is a great idea for people who want scrapbook-feel without having to actually put the time and effort into making a scrapbook. I love to scrapbook, though, so I was quite happy putting in the time, effort, and expense that it took to make an album.

I agree Feb...it's a great alternative. I have made scrapbooks before, but I feel like I am not very good at it so I hate for people to look at them. This will be my alternative!

Sorry for not updating. Yes, we did make one. We did it for our honeymoon picture and will be doing it for our wedding pictures we well. I loved how it turned out. It looks professionally dont in my opinion and since it has our own captions in it then it's more personalized then just sending a company a bunch of pictures and having them place them in a book.
I'll see if I can post a link to put book some how.

i have the books that have all of our photos from our invitation on it for our parents, grandparents, and a couple other family members....
if you long into your account at winkflash and then log out, theres almost always a coupon for % off of the books or some other coupon for the books.

I did the first couple times... but i learned to save as each picture was loaded... also i removed pictures from one folder and put them in another and they disappeared from the book so i had to move them back over and reinsert them.

Those albums are great. Snapfish and Shutterfly do them also. My sis and I do mini ones to send to family members for holidays.
