Wedding photos and scrapbooks

kcgrl

Have any of you created a scrapbook out of your wedding memorabilia? What has happened to it since it was finished? 

I have been slowly making a scrapbook and then last night I wondered - what will truly happen to this album?  Am I wasting my time? Who really cares to see our story, the cards, the pictures. The "honeymoon" of getting married is over - we are living our lives now and I just wonder if I should be taking the time to make such an extravagant display when it would be just as easy to put the photos in a box, label it reception, and call it a day.

I made a digital photobook with our pictures. We showed it off to a lot of friends/family at first, now it just sits there. I'd imagine if I had a coffee table I would put it on it for a little while. It will probably end up in the bookshelf after about a year though.

Mine is on the bottom of the coffee table (we have a shelf under our coffee table). I look through it every now and then. It will be nice for our child to go through it and see everything. We also have all of our proofs in a photo album and it is on the coffee table too.

I don't have kids, but my nieces and nephews love to take out my scrapbooks and look at them.  They're all in the living room so that the kids have easy access.

It has been two and half years since I got married and I am still slowly working on my wedding scrapbook, but I am determined to get it done.  I agree with PP in that it will be something nice for the kids to look through one day.  And if it survives the years, even the grandkids.  I know when I was younger I liked pulling out my mom's wedding album and looking at all the pictures.

My great grandmothers and grandmothers scrap books are treasured items in my family! We all love to look thru them. It sure beats the boxes and boxes of unlabeled pictures. Because you know where and who of the picture, no guessing! LOL

I made a digital book and a scrapbook.  I still look through both every once and a while.  When we have room for a coffee table in our new house they will probably go on the bottom shelf there.

The main reason I feel like this is a silly idea is because my DH and I do not want kids of our own. Although we adore our niece and nephew so we have tossed the idea of having a child of our own but we are still 98% sure we do not want kids. It was more or less - well if we get pregnant this is what we're going to do.....

I digress. Since we do not plan on having our own children I am asking myself - who would I share this with? We do not have typical bridal photos with the color schemes and such. We simply had a huge party - looks nothing like a wedding reception. I am very proud of our moment but who would really want to see it since it's not the "traditional" stuff?

I made one a couple months following my wedding. Really, the only person who saw it after I made it was my husband. I put it into a sealed tub with other wedding stuff like all of the cards we got, our guest book, traditional photo album, etc. It's nice to journal some of the pictures so you remember what was happening in the picture which is why I love scrapbooking. You may not show it to a lot of people but it's nice to take it out years down the road and remember what the day was like. Store it where it's visisble to family and guests and I'm certain they will want to take a look. A digital scrapbook will take less time if you make it through Shutterfly, Flickr, etc.
