Wedding albums are a pretty standard staple of the ways to display your most special of days, but with digital imagery and availability so prevalent these days, there are SO many other ways to utilize and showcase your favorite wedding and engagement images!  Here are some creative ideas to show off your couplehood!

A Calendar

Parents and grandparents and even you as a couple are going to love receiving a calendar with each month showing another picture from your beautiful day.  What a cute and useful way to have your favorite twelve pictures up in your home for the entire first year of your marriage, or what a nice thing to put in with a Christmas gift to Mom and Dad.  With self-printing and various outlets for photography printing, creating a calendar of your event’s pictures is very easy, and if you can’t find the time, your photographer is sure to know how!

A Customized Guest Book

Have you ever wished you could do more with your engagement pictures?  A really great way to use them is to create a guest book with them.  Instead of the traditional lined paper in a pretty book, you can make an album with various pictures of the two of you, with ample space to be filled in with messages of love from your guests.  Pretty much every photographer out there is able to make this a reality for you, and such a special way to show off those gorgeous engagement pictures, besides just in your invitations and various social outlets.  It also makes your guest book something you two will look at again and again, as it’s also an album of pictures.

Pillow Cases

It might be a little silly, but a big trend with loved ones is to create a personalized pillow case for their loved one to sleep on!  This is a cute, fun gift and can be done easily with sites like Snapfish.com and is something sweet, especially if your sweetheart travels a lot!

Album Ideas

Most people are going to get an album from their wedding, and these can also be turned into outlets of your tastes and style.  Instead of having a plain album, there are endless options these days for ways to personalize them, make them just for you, and really customize the product.  One thing you can do is pick a spine and style that is complimentary to your personalities.  Nowadays you can get an album in anything from zebra-print fabric to leather to metal coverings.  To add an immediate touch, you can customize the covers and backs with a picture from your day, words you’ve chosen, and a material of your choice.  Also, you can get miniature duplicate albums, that are laid out excatly the same, for parents and grandparents, a really special gift for the people you want to thank most for your wonderful event.

The options are pretty endless when it comes to photography products and ways to use your favorite pictures.  If you think it up, odds are your photographer can make it happen with a photo they’ve taken of you.  Get creative with it!
