As the years pass by after your wedding day lots of the important happy memories can fade and creating a wedding memory book is an ideal way to chronicle the whole marriage process to preserve those special memories.
Wedding memory books can be acquired readymade with individual pages for guest lists, a family tree and tons of pages for photos, but you can also make your own.
Let's have a look at what you need to consider when making your own wedding book.
Many couples start to consider their wedding book as they start preparations for the marriage, and just include it in the list to do; order a wedding cake, book a wedding videographer, book hotels etc, but an excellent idea is to make one that includes everything before the marriage as well.
You need to think about if you'd like a collection of only wedding day memories or if you need to include the bachelor and bachelorette party that is bound to have some of the greatest moments to include, although maybe a section at the back of the book should be reserved for those photos.
Your wedding book can contain many, chapters if you like, that might chronicle each special moment and memory from the time that you first became engaged.
The most significant thing you need to bear in mind is that once the last chapter has been written it can be altered in the future, so keep as much souvenirs as you can in case you choose to edit your book in years to come.
When you are selecting photographs make sure that you keep at least two copies of each as this will allow you to be more creative and if you need to modify the layout and cut some fancy shapes you will always have spare footage.
Let everybody, friends and family, know that you're going to be making a wedding memory book and you'll be surprised at how many people are willing to make a contribution to it.
People will look out for certain items at the bridal shower, wedding reception and other parties that often make up the entire wedding process, to give to you for inclusion in your wedding book.
Occasionally something as simple as the ribbons on the marriage bands can fall to the floor unnoticed, but if people are aware that you are making a collection of all your memories they'll pick it up and give it to you later on at the reception.
Dependent on when you decide to start a documentation of your marriage 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 marriage day to the honeymoon, but how great would it be to get some video footage included on your wedding video of you and your other 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.
Beginning to add to your wedding book as early as is possible after you have decided to be married will mean that you have got a wonderful story book that not only you and your better half, but also friends and family can look through when you're all together again at birthdays, Christmas or other festivities in years yet to come.
