Photobook made with MyPublisher

I just made photobooks for my MIL and SIL (also a bridesmaid) last week. I can't wait to get them.

I'm going to make myself one too, but I don't know if I will use mypublisher. There were some things about the program that bugged me, like trying to fit the text into their little caption boxes (there is no way to make the caption boxes larger or move them around, and they only have like 10 fonts to choose from, and most of them are plain boring fonts). Although they have lots of different page layouts, sometimes they still didn't have anything to match my needs, i.e. I wanted 5 photos on a page, one of them vertical and the others horizontal, but they wouldn't have any layouts like that, so I'd have to change my photo choose to either more horizontals or more verticals (just a random example, but this happened to me several times). Also they have different styles of layouts, like some are more classic and plain, others are more fun / collage style. But you have to use the same style for the whole book, whereas I would have liked a mixture of classic and fun layouts (the classic ones always have the photos straight, there are none that are like diagnal or layered). I also didn't like the wedding background design and colors, they only have one choice (for the wedding background), and I didn't think the color went well with my photos. So I just stuck with plain white background.

So those are some of my complaints about mypublisher, but overall I'm still happy, I just would be happier if I could find another company that is more versatile.

Shipping to Canada is expensive unless you are ordering many of the same ones. Shipping is 17$ + 5$ for a duplicate (But so if you are ordering 3 different books it would be 51$ for shipping! ) There is no shipping discount for larger orders unless you are order multiples of the exact same book). In my case I want to put together different books for myself, my ILs and my own family, because I want the book to have more of a focus on those people who it's for. At least I will use duplicates for MIL & SIL, and also for my Mom and my sister, so that will reduce the costs.

it looks absolutely fabulous!!! very exciting.. im def going to make them for our moms after the wedding.. and your pictures are beautiful.. so exciting .. cant wait to have elizabeth photograph our wedding! how much did the album end up costing, if you dont mind me asking..

Wow! I LOVE this book! I hope you don't mind, but I plan on stealing a lot of your ideas for how you designed your book. Is that okay? I hope so. You really did a brilliant job!

You did an amazing job with those books. Your Moms are going to LOVE them! Is your cover a photo or is it the cloth like fabric ones?

Okay, when I commented yesterday I didn't actually look at your book (because I stupidly assumed it wouldn't work for me, because links to photos never do when I am at work). So just wanted to add that your book is amazing! I wish I had seen it before I made mine because you have many great ideas, i.e. It looks like you left some of the photo slots empty on some of your pages right? That's a good idea, would have maybe helped for some of the pages where there was no layout that met my needs (like discribed above re: horizontal and vertical photos). I also love the pages that have tons of photos (I had one page with 8 photos and that was the most) and I so wish I had thought of the idea of putting the invitation wording on the first page! I did think of putting our vows next to a picture of my husband saying his, I love that page!

Also your photos are amazing! Who was your photographer?

Quick question how did you do the advance book jacket? With the writing on the inside panel? Trying to figure it out.

Love your book by the way.
