It is always a fun process to design invitations, save-the-dates and another popular option, photo guestbooks. Contact us if you’d like to take a look at our products in person!

Now I wait in expectation of packages from Europe, providing amazing quality printing and binding in Italy. Although albums can often take up to 6 weeks to create, the first album we got came as a surprise. I came home one day to a UPS message on the door. They had tried to deliver a package and yet I wasn’t expecting anything. I did a little investigating and my package was from Italy! And weeks earlier than I expected. I love the great service GraphiStudio provides!

I always love getting something in the mail, so I was thrilled when Toly & Zhanna’s fabulous album arrived. Sure, it’s not my wedding but it is still like Christmas to get such a beautiful package in the mail! I carefully opened it to take a few photos and show you all before I send it to the happy couple.

This is our standard 9.5×13″ flush-mount album with Crystal glance cover and leather binding. It is sturdy and elegant. I can’t wait to get it boxed up again and sent off to the lucky couple!

And here are a few design examples from my favorite spreads:

(don’t tell anyone, but I already entered my name–I want beautiful new wedding bands. Someday, I’ll tell the story of our wedding here, but it didn’t involve gorgeous jewelry)

So hop on over to Pictage and check it out!

Unsatisfied with the photo invitations on the market, fabulous couple Zhanna and Toly worked with me to create a completely individual product. We used their engagement photos & wedding colors (black and cream) for inspiration. The final result:

In that post several months ago, I mentioned Wedding Paper Divas and their great invites. They recently posted some GREAT photo save-the-dates.

A cute save-the-date for film-lovers out there!

Also, I mentioned some guestbook options in that April post–after ordering an Inkubook guestbook as a gift, I’m not thrilled with the quality. The photos turned out great, but the paper was definitely low-cost. So I’m hoping to try some new compaines soon for low-cost, quick-turnaround fabulous photo guestbooks!

Wedding Paper Divas – Save the Date Cards: I love these! I want to get married all over again so that I can use their save the dates, invites, and thank-yous! Good contemporary choices that allow you to follow a theme throughout all your paper products–and they do wedding websites, too!  Their Photo Save the Dates are awesome–I like what I see and I will order some samples soon so that I have something to show you in person! They run at about $1.50 ea for Save the Dates.

Photo Card Chef invitations: Haven’t tried them out yet, but they seem to offer what many people are looking for–classy, tri-fold photo invitations. These are actually pretty hard to find. Maybe pricy at $3.50 an invite, but they will definitely impress!

Inkubook Wedding Guest Book: Want to display all your great engagement photos? Want to inspire your guests when signing the guestbook, not bore them? This is the perfect option!! And prices start at only $25 for a hardcover!! I want one myself
