Wedding Breeze

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

Many couples start to think about their marriage book as they start preparations for the wedding, and just include it in the list of things to do ; order a wedding cake, book a Sydney wedding videographer, book hotels etc, but a great idea is to make one that includes everything before the wedding also.  You need to think about if you would like a collection of only marriage day memories or if you would like to include the bachelor and bachelorette party that is certain to have some of the best moments to incorporate, although maybe a section at the back of the book should be reserved for those photographs.

Your wedding book can contain several, chapters if you like, that will chronicle each 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 changed in the future, so keep as much mementos as you can just in case you choose to edit your book in years yet to come.  When you are selecting photographs make sure 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 footage.

Let everyone, friends and family, know that you are going to be making a marriage memory book and you will be surprised at what number of folks are prepared to contribute to it.  Folks will keep an eye open for certain items at the bridal shower, marriage reception and other celebrations that often make up the whole wedding 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 are aware that you are making a collection of all of your memories they will pick it up and give it to you later on at the reception.

Dependent on when you decide to start a documentation of your wedding will decide on the theme and design of your book.  If you plan actually 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 thru 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 get married will mean that you have a wonderful story book that not only you and your better half, but also friends and family can look through when you are all together again at birthdays, Christmas or other festivities in years to come.
