As the years pass by after your marriage day plenty of the vital happy memories can fade and creating a wedding memory book is a perfect way to chronicle the whole marriage process to preserve those special memories.  Wedding memory books can be bought readymade with individual pages for guest lists, a family tree and tons of pages for photos, but you may also make your own.  Let’s look at what you want to consider when making your own wedding book. 

Many couples start to think about their marriage book as they start preparations for the wedding, and just include it in the list to do ; order a wedding cake, book a Sydney wedding videographer, book hotels etc, but a great idea is to make one that includes everything before the marriage too.  You want to consider if you want a collection of only marriage day memories or if you would like to include the bachelor and bachelorette party that is sure to have some of the best moments to incorporate, although maybe a section at the back of the book should be reserved for those photos. 

Your marriage book can contain several, chapters if you like, that will chronicle every special moment and memory from the time that you first became engaged.  The most important thing that you need to be aware of is that once the final chapter has been written it can be altered in the future, so keep as much memorabilia as you can in case you choose to edit your book in future years.  When you are choosing photos make sure that you keep at least two copies of each as this will enable you to be more creative and if you want to switch the layout and cut some fancy shapes you will always have spare pictures. 

Let everyone, friends and family, know that you are going to be making a wedding memory book and you will be shocked at how many people are ready to make a contribution to it.  Folks will keep an eye open for certain items at the bridal shower, wedding reception and other celebrations that often make up the whole wedding process, to give to you for inclusion in your marriage book.  Sometimes something as simple as the ribbons on the marriage bands can drop to the floor unobserved, but if folks know that you are making a collection of all of your memories they are going to pick it up and give it to you later on at the reception. 

Dependent on when you make a decision to start a documentation of your wedding will decide on the theme and design of your book.  If you plan truly early then you can co-ordinate the book to fit into your wedding theme.  Most wedding memory books only cover from the wedding day to the honeymoon, but how great would it be to get some video footage included on your wedding video of you and your better half blushing as you both go through the pages of the bachelor party. If you ask your wedding videographer, they can even make a separate video story from the days leading up to your wedding, with your wedding book as the central theme and just add it to your wedding video package.

Starting to add to your marriage book as soon as possible after you have decided to be married will mean that you’ve got a smashing story book that not only you and your other half, but also acquaintances and family can look through when you’re all together again at birthdays, Christmas or other festivities in future years.
