As the years pass by after your wedding day lots of the critical happy memories can fade and making a wedding memory book is an ideal way to chronicle the entire wedding process to preserve those special memories. Wedding memory books can be acquired readymade with individual pages for guest lists, a family tree and tons of pages for photos, but you may make your own. Let’s look at what you need to consider when making your own wedding 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 an excellent idea is to make one that includes everything before the wedding also. You need to think about if you want a collection of only marriage day memories or if you want to include the bachelor and bachelorette party that is sure to have some of the greatest moments to include, although maybe a section at the back of the book should be reserved for those photographs.
Your marriage book can contain many, chapters if you like, that may chronicle every special moment and memory from the time that you first became engaged. The most vital thing that you need to be aware of is that once the final chapter has been written it can be altered in the future, so keep as much mementos as you can just in case you choose to edit your book in future years. When you are choosing photographs ensure that you keep at least two copies of each as this will enable you to be more creative and if you want to modify the layout and cut some fancy shapes you will always have spare pictures.
Let everybody, friends and family, know that you are going to be making a marriage memory book and you will be shocked at what number of people are willing to make a contribution to it. Folks will keep an eye open for certain items at the bridal shower, wedding reception and other parties that usually make up the entire wedding process, to give to you for inclusion in your marriage book. Occasionally something as simple as the ribbons on the wedding bands can fall to the floor unnoticed, but if people know that you are making a collection of all your memories they’ll pick it up and give it to you later on at the reception.
Depending on when you decide to start a documentation of your wedding will decide on the theme and design of your book. If you plan truly early then you can co-ordinate the book to fit into your wedding 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.
Starting to add to your marriage book as early as is possible after you have decided to get married will mean that you have got a amazing story book that not only you and your partner, but also acquaintances and family can look through when you are all together again at birthdays, Christmas or other festivities in years to come.
