For those doing Parents' Albums

I was talking to my mom today, and she said that parents albums are typically a quarter the size of the regular album?

 The photographer was a friend of the family, so I'm doing the albums through Blurb.  I was just going to use the main album DH and I get, then pull a couple of pages, add some random photos for MIL that she had taken, and be done with it.

 How big is the parents' album supposed to be?

Re: For those doing Parents' Albums

  • I didn't realize there was a set size??  We were just going to pick out a couple of nice albums, use the pictures that are included in our photographer package.

  • our photographer is supposed to give us a dvd with all our images on it. I was just going to use picaboo (i used them for our guest book/ year book style for the wedding) to make up the parents albums.  I'm just sad, we wanted to have it for them for mothers day, but looks like it'll be later since we haven't gotten our dvd yet.

    I don't think there really is.  We got our parent's albums thru our photographer.  We got my parents (since they paid for the entire wedding) an album that is 25 pages that can hold up to 50 pictures- half the numbe of pictures of what our album is going to be.  We got ILs an album that is 20 pages and can hold up to 30 pictures- which is about a third of our album. 

  • I don't think there is a 'set' size.  If you are doing them yourself you can make it whatever you want.  Typically if you're going through your photographer, then yes, its going to be smaller than your own album.  I don't have the dimensions handy but I do remember looking at our album options and then the parents and the parents one was pretty much half.  I was going to have the photographer do it but they will be about $500.  I'll just wait till we get the DVD and make it myself.
  • hehe - I went way overboard then. I just got the DVD from the photographer and made my own thru shutterfly. It's 100 pages and has more than 200 pics in it - I got one for us, my mom and his parents. Ours has a whole bunch of both the families (not in the WP) with a lot of candids. its awesome though...
  • Okie dokie; thanks for all the input!

    I just started trimming down the parents' albums; they're about half the size of mine right now.  I have three parents albums due to family splits, but they are all slightly customized as to which family photos they have.  I just have to order them today to not pay super expensive shipping and still have them by mother's day!
