Celebrate Your Engagement With a Photo Book

Photo books make wonderful gifts

Of course, you should definitely post a photo of your wedding ring on your social media profile, spreading the news that you just said ‘yes’ to the love of your life. However, do you know what’s a great gift for your closest family and friends? An attractive photo book where they can see your happiness through photos.

The perfect way to memorialize your engagement

Creating a photo book is the perfect way to record any special event in your life. This includes your engagement and, although weddings are typically seen as the big day, there’s so much joy around getting engaged that it would be a shame not to commemorate it somehow. There are plenty of photo book builders out there that will help you create a beautiful album quickly. What’s more, it’s quite cheap to print photo books nowadays, so there’s really nothing to lose.

But, how do you design a great photo book that you’ll both cherish? While most of the process is very personal, here are some suggestions that you can use to take your photo book to the next level.

Location is everything

There are plenty of locations that will make your engagement photo album magical. This doesn’t mean you have to get yourself on a plane to Paris and take your pictures in front of the Eiffel Tower. Instead, choose a place with a lot of meaning for you and your loved one. It can be the coffee shop where you first met, a park where you frequently walk together, the place you had your first kiss – the options are limitless.

Be creative

There’s nothing wrong with having a traditional photo shoot. Still, why don’t you spice things up a little bit by selecting a theme? Think about the common interests you and your loved one share and design a photo book accordingly. Does everyone know you as the couple that spends more time at the gym than at home? Great, do your photoshoot in the gym wearing comfy clothes! Are you more of a homebody who prefers to stay indoors playing games? Sweet – you can both cosplay as the characters you love most. The sky’s the limit, and having a theme makes everything more exciting.

Add inspirational quotes

Don’t be afraid of adding text to your pictures. There’s plenty of inspirational love quotes out there that will perfectly translate what you and your loved one are feeling in this happy moment. If any of you like to write, you can compose small notes yourself instead. Another idea to consider is leaving the last page blank for both of you to express your feelings for each other.

Use your best photo to design announcement cards

If offering an entire photo book is too much, then you can use the picture you love the most to create engagement announcement cards. These provide a simpler way to share the news with everyone – perfect for those that feel an engagement photo book is something that’s just for them or have a restricted budget.

Regardless of what you opt for, remember one thing: photo books are supposed to be fun! More than anything, enjoy your engagement to the fullest and make the most of your photoshoot day.
