photobooks
I know some of you said you make photobooks instead of getting 4x6 prints of your photos, so I decided to try it with my honeymoon photos (yeah, 5 years later...I'm a little behind). I spent hours putting one together on Snapfish (where I have all my photos stored) and that sucker is going to cost almost $50 to get it printed and shipped, assuming the discount code I found at retailmenot works. It has about 120 photos on 50 pages.
For those of you who do photobooks, is this what your books typically cost? How often do you make your books?
Re: photobooks
How big is the album? A 12"x12", 50 page album for $50 is a good price in my mind. But, then again, I usually pay 4x that for the fancy albums I do.
If I'm looking to do a cheapy, I usually got to shutterfly since they have awesome coupons they keep sending me. I'm hoping to finally finish up my Switzerland edits within the next week to put an album together with the latest big coupon they sent me (for transferring my photos from photoworks).
It's a 8-1/2" x 11" album with a hard cover and a dust jacket.
I put several pictures on some pages but other pages just have one -- I didn't want to smoosh photos together that didn't belong together just to use fewer pages. I guess I'll just suck it up and pay the price.
Given your specs, yes, the price sounds reasonable. But I think it's worth it for special albums, like a honeymoon. :-)
I just email photos to the grandparents and let them decide how to deal with them!
Well, if nothing else, it takes care of figuring out Christmas gifts. DH's parents are awful about pictures and they would all get tossed in a drawer or box. I do usually send along cds of pro pictures so they can make what they want, but for everyday pictures they just get the books. My mother is already bugging me for the next one, but she'll have to wait a while
